As students learn to use their singing voices, kindergartners sing a lot of echo songs. Echo songs are a simple way for students to hear and memorize and short phrase and immediately sing it back. First, students echo as a whole class, then individuals sing solos.
We have had a lot of fun with the rhyming song "No More Pie." Once students were comfortable singing the song, we even got to play it on the xylophone!
Can your child lead you in this echo song? The words are:
Oh my (echo: Oh my)
No more pie. (No more pie.)
Pie's too sweet. (Pie's too sweet.)
I want a piece of meat. (I want a piece of meat.)
Meat's too red. (Meat's too red.)
I want a piece of bread. (I want a piece of bread.)
Bread's too brown. (Bread's too brown.)
I think I'll go to town. (I think I'll go to town.)
Town's too far. (Town's too far.)
I think I'll take a car. (I think I'll take a car.)
Car won't go. (Car won't go.)
I stubbed my toe. (I stubbed my toe.)
Toe made me cry. (Toe made me cry.)
I want a piece of pie. (I want a piece of pie.)
Oh my (Oh my)
No more pie. (No more pie.)
