Echo songs and rhymes

Unlike many other pages this one does not have a dedicated section in my previous ‘Singing games for children’ website but is embedded in other categories which, however, are mostly accessible through individual YouTube videos.
Good news! It does however have its own YouTube playlist.

YouTube playlist: Call and response songs and rhymes – YouTube

It has recently been suggested to me that ‘Call and response songs are simple and kids love them’. Here you will find many forms of ‘call and response’ for both younger and older children.
My grandchildren when they were younger loved rhymes like ‘Grandma’s pussy cat’ and ‘Are you going to golf sir’ as did the young children I taught.

In the lists below you will soon find links to:
‘River of song’ website pages for each song including lyrics, sheet music and chords plus a YouTube link to each song /rhyme.
More links will be added as time permits especially where they are absent from my old website. Let me know if I need to give priority to ones you would appreciate.
Love this song: 💖
