Apples and Bananas

Have a riotous time singing through the silly ways of pronouncing 'apples' and 'bananas'!
Because there are six short and funny verses, this song is fantastic for practising beat in cut common time!
Children also have the opportunity to feel and experience syncopation before they even know what syncopation is all about!
Can be used to prepare and practise the rhythmic element 'tim-ka'.
