Chanting to a rhythm whilst clapping to a beat is something most children enjoy, especially within a group situdation.
 
Squashed Bananas Mouldy Sultanas used this oral expression to focus on language learning in the primary grades.  The  31 versions of traditional, adapted and modern chants offer a wide range of themes and ideas.  Each chant has suggestions for oral interpretation, a language focus and ways to make links across the curriculum.
 
Using chants as a teaching tool encourages participation in shared reading and dramatic expression, which in turn creates to the benefit of both teacher and student.
