This new setting of the old favorite B-I-N-G-O can be used several ways. You can perform it as written, singing the song 7 times, first with all lyrics, then substituting a clap for a syllable in the "Be My Val-en-tine" phrase, adding one clap per verse. The seventh time through, sing all of the words again. This is the version you will hear on the recording. Consider adding a variation that combines patsching with the clapping. Or try it with Boomwhackers, rhythm sticks, or other classroom percussion. However you use it, it will be an excellent addition to your Valentine's Day repertoire! (from Music K-8, Vol. 5, No. 3)
