Little Red Wagon

This catchy song is great for:

  • Teaching the rhythmic element 'tika-ti' (you may need to sing the last line of the song with words rather than rhythm names though!).
  • Teaching the rhythmic element 'tim-ka' with the last line of the song.
  • Teaching the melodic element 'fa' with the last line of the song.
  • Preparing and practising the melodic element 'low ti'.
  • Word improvisation - improvise new colours and/or vehicles. E.g. 'blue tractor'.
