Snowballs

A simple song in 3/8 metre that can be used to:

Teach the time signature '3/8'.
Use conducting practice to reinforce the time signature.
Prepare and practice the melodic element 'fa'.
Work with the compound rhythms: 'ti-ti-ti' (quavers grouped in 3 / eighth notes grouped in 3) and 'tum' (dotted crotchet / dotted quarter note).
