3rd Graders started off their year with an echo song to remind them of how to use their singing voices after a long summer off. Echo songs are a great way to review appropriate singing because students need to remember only a very short song fragment and sing it immediately. This song had the added challenge of a chorus that students were able to remember after several listenings. After students were comfortable with singing the echos as a class, they sang them as solos.
Can your child lead you in this echo song? The words are:
The littlest worm (echo: The littlest worm)
I ever saw, (I ever saw,)
Was stuck inside, (Was stuck inside,)
My soda straw. (My soda straw.)
Chorus: The littlest worm I ever saw,
Was stuck inside my soda straw.
He said to me (keep echoing!) "Don't take a sip,
'Cause if you do, you'll really flip."
(Repeat words for the chorus)
I took a sip, and he went down.
Right through my pipes, he must have drowned.
And now he's gone, this is the end.
He was my pal, he was my friend.
