Welcome to the New Site
Let’s have some fun with a partner song using “Michael Finnigan” and “This Old Man”. Grades 3-5 will love singing these partner songs and putting them together. I’ve included a body percussion activity too to help them learn the beat!
Singing a partner song can be a great way to unite your class and create friendships. When students work together and sing together they build trust and have a positive experience together.
Even if they don’t like to sing too much-trying to put this song together can be a rewarding challenge for all students.
