Lightly Row

Activity Instructions:

Pass out microphones. Say hi to the children by name. Then ask them what songs they’d like to sing today.  After singing a few, then have children repeat syllables for do-re-mi-fa-sol-fa-mi-re-do.  Then sing song a little bit at a time with syllables. Afterwards, sing with english words.

Lyrics:

So Mi Mi, Fa Re Re
Do Re Mi Fa Sol Sol Sol
Sol Mi Mi Fa Re Re
Do Mi So So Do

Do Do Do Do Do Re Mi
Re Re Re Re Mi Fa Sol
Sol Mi Mi Fa Re Re
Do Mi Sol Sol Do

Lightly row, lightly row,
O’er the glassy waves we go!
Smoothly glide, smoothly glide,
On the silent tide!

Let the winds and waters be
Mingled with our melody.
Sing and float, sing and float
In our little boat!
