Improvise With Crawdad

This Summer we have worked on simple improvisation by looking at the pictures in the Music Together book and picking our favorite thing(s) to sing about.  Last week we looked at the picture for Crawdad.  I love making up fun rhyming verses about the pictures, but I feel like it is a lot easier to make up one word repetitive verses in class.  Repeating your favorite thing over and over is easier to sing and easier for others to follow along with.  It is also easier for the kids.  

At home however, I encourage you to come up with fun rhyming verses!  It can be about a Music Together song, something your child drew, or a part of your daily routine.

Here are my made up rhyming verses for Crawdad.  Try them at home.  Feel free to add your creative verses in the comments below the post for others!

Crawling like a turtle really slow honey 

Crawling like a turtle really slow babe

Crawling like a turtle really slow, I've got no place I've got to go

Honey oh baby mine

Jumping like a frog up and down honey

Jumping like a frog up and down babe

Jumping like a frog up and down, we'll jump right up then sit back down 

Honey oh baby mine

Hopping like a bunny up and down honey

Hopping like a bunny up and down babe

Hopping like a bunny up and down , we'll hop hop hop all over this town

Honey oh baby mine

See the sun up in the sky honey

See the sun up in the sky babe

See the sun up in the sky, wear sunscreen or you will fry 

Honey oh baby mine

I'm a tree blowin in the breeze honey

I'm a tree blowin in the breeze babe

I'm a tree blowin in the breeze, I'm full of pollen that'll make you sneeze

Honey oh baby mine

I'm gonna get my bucket full honey

I'm gonna get my bucket full babe

I'm gonna get my bucket full, while you use that line and hold that pole 

Honey oh baby mine

I've caught something on the line honey

I've caught something on the line babe

I've caught something on the line, I'll hold on tight and make it mine

Honey oh baby mine

Fell in water oh no honey 

Fell in the water oh no babe

Fell in the water oh no, It's really wet in the crawdad hole

Honey oh baby mine
