I wrote a song about the five senses to go along with a great book. The book has "peek-a-boo" pictures of the senses. Of course, I don't have it at home so I can't give you the exact book. The K and 1st grade students really like this song.
I will include melodic pattern and rhythms for the first couple of verses. It's hard to type it out this way since I can't "line up the melody and rhythms." Hope you can figure it out.
(The children point to the body part as the song is sung.)
These are the lyrics:
