The If Song

  • This is a fun, engaging song that works really well for themed word improvisation!

  • You can pick a theme (animals, occupations, instruments etc.) and your students can improvise what they would be and what they would do!

  • Simple chords have been added for the first half of the song. The second half has additional chords. Use chords as written, or choose the chords that suit you and your students best!
