Grandpapa and Little May
Ms. Christina shares her original clapping rhyme: Grandpapa and Little May.
Lyrics:
Grandpapa and Little May
Had no instruments to play
But when they sat down on their mat
They made music just like that …
With a clap, clap, clap
…
And a pat, pat, pat
…
And a slap, slap, slap
…
And a toe tap, tap
…
And a snap, snap, snap
…
And a skat, skat, diddley dat, just like that!
