Para esta canción sería interesante llevar al aula una campanita y así conocer el significado de la palabra"BELL". Se pondrán todos en corro menos un niño que estará en el centro del corro tumbado con los ojos cerrados y la campanita en la espalda. Los demás niños cantarán la canción cogidos de la mano y dando vueltas, alguien del corro cogerá la campanita para esconderla detrás y todos pondrás los brazos detras. Una vez finalizada la canción el niño del centro se levantará e ira preguntando "Have you got the bell?".Una vez encontrada la campanita el niño que la tenía pasa a estar en el centro del circulo y se volverá a repetir.

Es conocida tanto en niños como en adultos . Es pegadiza y rítmica.

Es un canto a la alegría. Se canta en corro y se van ejecutando las acciones que indica la canción.Lo mas importante a la hora de trabajarlas con niños es que se les queden los verbos que utilizamos para las acciones que ejecutamos. 

EENY, MEENY, MINY MO

Eeny, meeny, miny mo

Catch a tiger by the toe

If he hollers let them go,

Eeny, meeny, miny mo.

Fifty dollars every day.

My mother said to me

Choose the very best and you are not this.

Es el clásico "refrán" que utilizan las personas de estados unidos e inglaterra para escoger algo de una manera juguetona (ejemplos: zapatito blanco zapatito azul dime cuantos años tienes tú).

En el video adjuntado se puede ver que una niña más o menos de tres cuatro años se sabe el ritmo y bastante bien la canción, con lo cual nos da mucho juego a la hora de enseñársela al niño ya que es bastante pegadiza y con niños de tres años se puede ir trabajando.

Jugando con la entonación de esta canción podemos tener mas variantes a la hora de trabajarla en el aula. Depende de a qué edad vaya dirigidos haremos unos gestos u otro aumentando así la dificultad si aumenta la edad de los receptores. Siempre será bueno terminar con la versión lenta para que acaben calmados, cuando ya se la sepan bien podremos cantarlas con fallos para que así nos las corrijan ellos, a medida que se canta cada estrofa vamos dejando de decir partes del cuerpo quedando así sólo el esto.

TRANSPORTS SONG
We all go travelling by (Barefoots Books)

I spy with my little eyes,

You can hear with your little ear,

A yellow school bus goes beep beep beep.

And we all go travelling by, bye-bye,

And we all go travelling by.

I spy with my little eyes,

You can hear with your little ear,

A long blue traing goes chuff chuff chuff.

A yellow school bus goes beep beep beep.

And we all go travelling by, bye-bye,

And we all go travelling by.

I spy with my little eyes,

You can hear with your little ear,

A little green boat goes chug-a-lug-a-lug

A long blue traing goes chuff chuff chuff.

A yellow school bus goes beep beep beep.

And we all go travelling by, bye-bye,

And we all go travelling by.

I spy with my little eyes,

You can hear with your little ear,

A big white plane goes neeeee-owww.

A little green boat goes chug-a-lug-a-lug

A long blue train goes chuff chuff chuff.

A yellow school bus goes beep beep beep.

And we all go travelling by, bye-bye,

And we all go travelling by.

I spy with my little eyes,

You can hear with your little ear,

A fast orange car goes vroom vroom vroom.

A big white plane goes neeeee-owww.

A little green boat goes chug-a-lug-a-lug

A long blue train goes chuff chuff chuff.

A yellow school bus goes beep beep beep.

And we all go travelling by, bye-bye,

And we all go travelling by.
