Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: Sing and connect

This is a great sing-a-long!

There is only 1 rhythm the whole song. Slow-quick-quick. Only use this song if your participants know it or it will be boring. Invite
them to sing-along.
Take a moment at the beginning of the song to connect them to the slow-quick-quick and then invite them to sing and express the
song with each other.
Be expressive and creative. Don’t worry so much about the dancing as once you get them singing it will take care of itself.
You can invite them to interact and sing with each other. Even dance with each other.
