I'm Gonna Catch You

I wrote last month about how I feel good kids songs, especially good songs for the under 6 crowd, often have the part where.  The part where we walk like elephants, or the part where the music gets faster and faster, or the part where we sing really quietly and then really loud! 

I mentioned I felt Laurie Berkner excelled at that.  Here is a clip that demonstrates what I was trying to talk about.  Simple, repetitive lyrics with variations thrown in and fun little actions to do for each day of the week.  And the tempo change at the end tops it all off.  Some songs really fit well in the classroom, some better in the car or at home.  This one works everywhere.

Here are the lyrics if you'd like to sing this song with your kids/students.
