‘Kaeru no Uta’ (Frog’s Song) is a Japanese tune about a little frog and the sound he makes.
Mrs Borthwick teaches us the song and brings in simple percussion. To see how to make your own instruments have a look at our video lesson on making a Guiro, Triangle and Shaker.
You can download the backing tracks to play in your setting or use the video’s on iPads and Smartboards.
