This song is all about layers and helps to develop the following skills: singing together and working as a team, sense of pulse, interlocking rhythms, control of the voice and singing in tune.

The fragments of this song can be put together in any configuration, however, try setting up the rhythmical spoken chants first, encouraging the children to use their voices like percussion with the consonants sounding on the next rest, for example ‘King-S Cro-SS’ (you can listen to the audio track for that part to hear how this should sound).
