I Bought Me A Cat (Pentatonic)

  • Kids love this cumulative song. Particularly if they can improvise their own animals and animal noises.
  • Great for memory work - the more children who are able to add their own animals and noises the harder it gets to remember them all!
  • Fantastic for preparing and practising melodic element 'high do'!
  • Terrific for teaching the rhythmic element 'tum ti'!
