We are on the last of my 30 Tips to take a Book Beyond Reading. Today’s tip will get all your children or students laughing.
Using the story line, make up songs. You can use the tunes from other songs, like Row Row Row Your Boat, or I’m a Little Teapot, or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Anyway, try it. Here’s mine.
Sing to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Mori, Mori why so blue?
It’s your birthday all day through.
Have some cake,
And ice cream too,
It’s not time to say boo hoo.
Mori, Mori why so blue?
It’s your birthday all day through.
Have fun making up songs. (I bet you won’t get this little ditty out of your head any time soon.)
See you back here Monday as we continue to explore ways to take Books Beyond Reading.

That's a great idea!
Thanks Rena! I had fun with this one. Do you like my song?

Neat tip, Joy. I make up lyrics all the time...usually funny ones. My girls get a kick out them.

I think this is one of the most fun things to do with kids. They have no inhibitions, and we can all learn from them in that respect. Creating silly songs is one way to do that.
