Bee, bee, bumblebee
Stung a man upon his knee
Stung a pig upon his snout
I declare that you are out!
We learned this song in Kindergarten at the beginning of the year because it is a great chant for steady beat and rhythm. We recently learned ta and ti-ti (replacing long and short-short) so I brought the poem back to discover the rhythm again. I found these great bee sticks at Oriental Trading this year so I marked them with Tas and Ti-tis (quarter notes and eighth note pairs). After discovering the rhythm of "Bee, Bee" I split the kids into groups and had them compose different rhythm patterns. Then, I let them come up with their own patterns to challenge their partners.
