But check out Dr. Bill at Lifeprint for all the correct signs. And enjoy the rest of this video describing how I teach this song in lessons – with actions, PictureLyrics, and playing/singing on drum and glockenspiel. And download the slides for use in your home or classroom here. Enjoy learning English and music through pictures!

Weekly Release: Mary Had a Little Lamb Learning Unit
This is the first song I remember learning on the piano, and with this PictureLyrics learning unit I hope to bring more young learners into Mary’s fold! This week’s video shows 4 ways to teach, learn, and enjoy this classic – with dance, PictureLyrics, and music for the drum and glockenspiel. I use this song when teaching colors, as you can swap Mary’s white fleece for just about anything – silver, green, blue, fuchsia. Just make sure to change the snow part also – let your imagination run wild! And download the slides for use in your home or classroom here. Enjoy learning English and music through pictures!
