King Green wears a green crown all the time.
When he's feeling fancy, he also wears a green tie.
When he's feeling cold, he wears a green scarf.
When it rains, he carries a green umbrella and wears green boots.
When it snows, he wears green mittens.
When he needs some good luck, he wears a shamrock.
I attempted to sing about each of these items, to the tune of Mary Wore Her Red Dress. "The King wore his green crown..." etc. Unfortunately, I got nervous and forgot the ukulele chords, so it didn't work so well. However, the concept is good. It's a great way to use some of those forgotten flannel pieces, and it can be adapted to any color. I plan to do a rainbow-themed story time in a couple of weeks, when I'm finished with individual colors, and when I do, I think King, Queen, or Princess Rainbow might make an appearance as well.
Today's Flannel Friday Round-Up is hosted by Liz at Putting Smiles on Faces.
Hold the phone! You play the ukulele? Jealous! I have been thinking of learning...
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a former music teacher, so he's been teaching me. I got the ukulele in November, and have only been bringing it to story time since June. It's a lot of fun - and the kids are really drawn to it! Children's songs tend to use the same three or four chords, so if you can master just a few simple ones, you can actually play quite a few songs. I recommend trying it!
DeleteI'm trying to learn the ukulele for storytime. It isn't going as well as I hoped, but I'm going to keep on trying.
ReplyDeleteStick with it - it's worth it!
DeleteCould you share the chords for this song? I'm trying to unsuccessfully locate them. Thanks!
