Do You Know This Friend of Mine?

February 19, 2010 by notjustcute Filed Under: Building Readers, Learning through Play and Experience, Music and Movement Leave a Comment

Here’s a song the children love!  It’s perfect for reinforcing phonemic awareness and a great reminder of their classmates’ names.  I learned it way back in my university days, so I really don’t know who to credit for it.  Whoever you are, many children send an enthusiastic  “Thank you”!

(Tune: Do you know the muffin man)

Do you know this friend of mine, this friend of mine, this friend of mine?

Do you know this friend of mine, her name it rhymes with Bara?  (Tara!)

Simple, right?  If they’re beginning to grasp the concept of rhyming, they’ll go nuts for it!  Give them time to think about the answer, and they’ll shout it right out!  Enjoy!

I’m Amanda Morgan. Here’s what I’m about…

In early education, there is too much distance between what we know and what we do. I bridge the gaps that exist between academia, decision-makers, educators, and parents so that together, we can improve the quality of early education while also respecting and protecting the childhood experience.
