HL09970700 Hot Peas + Barley-O

An exciting and informative collection of children's songs and games, all selected from the Scottish traditions since the 1950s, and complete with a CD of delightful accompaniments.
From skipping songs and jump-rope chants to singing games, riddles and rhymes, this anthology of activities mines the rich resources of the Scottish playgrounds of yesteryear, presenting this valuable folk material for a whole new generation to learn and enjoy.
The songs are not only a great way for the young to learn about rhythm and coordination, but they are also a vital stage in learning to socialise and form friendships, providing a collective pool of games that everyone knows and loves.
Teaching notes and suggestions are included to aid group-learning and provide support.
