Ten Little Indians

This is a great counting song that can be 'acted out' or done as finger play.

Also great for:

Teaching the rhythmic element 'too' (minim / half note).
Teaching the rhythmic element 'sa-a' (minim rest).
Preparing and practising the melodic element 'ti'.
Practising singing the tonic triad - do, mi, so.
Singing as a partner song with 'Skip to My Lou'. (Will need to sing with the 4/4 version of 'Skip to My Lou'.)
