Continents
From Plank Road Publishing
by Teresa JenningsThis cross-curricular song includes a recurring verse that names the continents in alphabetical order, as well as a refrain and a bridge to tie it all together.
One of the things that will make this song appeal to your students is the use of rapping. The names of the continents are spoken to a rhythm that is written out, which means your performers need to read and learn the rhythms as well as the names of the continents. That means it's a good musical exercise as well.
The sung parts of the song are simple, repetitious, and unison, so the song should be accessible for most grades. (from Music K-8, Vol. 29, No. 3)
