Oh, My Aunt Came Back
This song is an echo song. One person sings each line first, then everyone else echoes them!
Oh, my aunt came back
From Timbuktu.
She brought with her
A wooden shoe!
Oh, my aunt came back
From old Japan.
She brought with her
A waving fan!
Oh, my aunt came back
From old Algiers.
She brought with her
A pair of shears!
Oh, my aunt came back
From Guadeloupe.
She brought with her
A hula hoop!
Oh, my aunt came back
From the county fair.
She brought with her
A rocking chair!
Oh, my aunt came back
From the city zoo.
She brought with her
A nut like you!

Ideas for enrichment:
Movement: -While singing each verse, do a motion that shows the souvenir (i.e. tap foot for wooden shoe, wave hand for fan, etc.
-Try to add each movement on without stopping the ones before--by the end, you really do look like a nut!
Rhyming and Geography: -Make up your own verses by:
1. Think of a place (real or made up)
2. Think of a thing or souvenir that rhymes with that place
3. Sing your new verse!
