ABC Tunes
Did you know thatthe traditional tune we use to sing the A B C’s is also the tune for “Baa BaaBlack Sheep” and “Twinkle Little Star”? Here are several other tunes that you can use to sing the ABC’s. Give it a try!
“Amazing Grace”
“Braham’sLullabye”
Theme fromGilligan’s Island
“100 Bottles ofBeer on the Wall”
“Mary Had a LittleLamb”
Clap on theconsonants and hop on the vowels as you sing. You can alsomarch, tiptoe, disco (finger up in the air and then cross the midline and pointdown), patty with a friend or do other movements.
Give children acopy of the alphabet and have them point to the letters as you sing. You can use a pretzel stick, Bugle, or craftstick with a wiggly eye as a pointer. But, my favorite pointer is a fake fingernail glued to a craft stick. "Keep your finger on the letter!"
Debbie sent a link for some song posters she made to go with a few tunes I posted lately. They're really cute! Thanks for sharing, Debbie!
