Hey Betty Martin

This action song is fantastic for:

Getting active!
Improvising new words and actions (in the middle section)!
Practising soft singing! (Sing the tip-toe first section quietly!!)
Teaching the rhythmic element 'tum ti'.
Teaching the melodic element 'low ti' using the end of the first section of the song.
Preparing and practising ternary form.
Learning names (substitute students names for 'Betty Martin').
