Days of the Week, Adam's Family Style!

Hi, and thanks for stopping by again!

Today I want to share another super simple song that I recorded at the request of a teacher.

This teacher normally sings the Days of the Week song, a capella, to the tune from "The Adam's Family" television show. I've also seen this song idea posted on numerous preschool music sites.

The teacher thought it would be more catchy and motivating for the students if I recorded it with voice and guitar, and I agreed!




Lyrics:
Days of the Week, Days of the Week,
Days of the Week, Days of the Week, Days of the Week.
There's Sunday and there's Monday,
Tuesday and there's Wednesday.
Thursday and there's Friday,
and then there's Saturday!
Days of the Week, Days of the Week,
Days of the Week, Days of the Week, Days of the Week.

In my opinion, this song works well with children as long as it doesn't start out too fast. You can add numerous forms of body percussion after each phrase, "Days of the Week".
Many teachers have the children clap two times to the beat (after each "Days of the Week"), but you could pat knees, pat head, click tongue, stomp feet,etc.. You could also use rhythm instruments and play during the beats.
This will help keep the kids guessing and paying attention!
