Barnyard Family

This song has a really enjoyable melody to sing!

It is great for:

Working in Major tonality.
Improvising words - new animals and sounds.
Working in 6/8 metre.
Working with children who struggle to pronounce words. Animal sounds can be easier to pronounce than words and children who are self-conscious about their speech often feel more comfortable making animal noises than words.
