This song is a playful way for children to sing their names at gathering time. This experience also suggests to children that singing is a natural part of their lives as they pass the telephone for individual singing.
Procedures Sing the song several times for the children.
Then, lead children in singing it as a group until they all know it. When each child holds the telephone, it is his or her turn to sing the song, adding the name of the next child at the end. Encourage the child to sing in his or her singing voice rather than speaking voice. This is a singing game that works for toddlers, preschool and primary age children. It is an exercise in sequential recall as well as kinesthetic pattern.
