Ride A Cock Horse

This English nursery rhyme is fantastic for:

  • preparing 6/8 metre and rhythms.
  • having fun galloping to the beat in 6/8!
  • singing a wide range of notes.

Teaching Suggestion:

Give a couple of children bells to hold while they gallop with the class to this song. A great way to promote positive behaviour!
