Oleanna

This is a really fun song that incorporates rhythm, counting, and rhyming all into one.  The chorus is very simple and the children learn it quickly.  The verses are made up of familiar nursery rhymes all sung to the same tune.

I often introduce the verses by putting up an image depicting the nursery rhyme on the felt board to give the children a chance to guess what it might be.

"Oleanna"

Chorus: 1-2-3-4

Ole, oleanna, ole, oleanna,

ole, ole, ole, ole, ole, oleanna.

(Insert nursery rhymes such as “Little Miss Muffet,” “Hickory Dickory Dock,” etc., then repeat chorus.)
