Introducing a Cherished English Traditional Song for Kids

Get ready to embark on a nostalgic journey with your little ones as we explore a beloved English traditional song that's sure to make them hum with joy from the very first note. This charming tune has been a favorite for generations, offering a perfect opportunity for children to sing along and create cherished memories.

 

Lyrics:

"Daisy, Daisy

Give me your answer do

I’m half crazy

All for the Love of you

(Girls come closer to their partner and give them their right hand)

It won’t be a fancy marriage

I can’t afford a Carriage (the couples swing holding hands together)

But you’ll look sweet (the 'bicycle' child comes rolling his arms as if he rides a bike and each couple gets closer to the bicycle and have a ride around the classroom while singing the song again)"

 

Now, as you delve into the magic of this delightful song, remember that it's not just music, but a gateway to creative play. You can transform this charming melody into a singing game that will have your class buzzing with excitement.

Simply divide your children into two groups, one for boys and one for girls. Encourage the girls (or boys) to choose partners and face each other from a few steps away. The fun twist? The odd ones become 'bicycles' ready to take their partners for a whimsical ride.

As the boys serenade their loves with the timeless lyrics, "Daisy, Daisy," the girls come closer and extend their right hands, igniting a delightful dance of partnership. It may not be a fancy carriage, but as each 'bicycle' child merrily rolls their arms in the role of a pedaling companion, the couples get closer to the 'bicycle' and enjoy a ride around the classroom while singing the song once more.

Let the spirit of play and music flourish as your children immerse themselves in this heartwarming song and its entertaining game. It's a joyous journey through the magic of music and creativity, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime. So, sing, dance, and play - the adventure has just begun!

In the spirit of melody and merriment,

Bella
