Podcast 50: Shoes

THIS PODCAST AT A GLANCE

• SONG: Everybody Sing With Me
• SONG: Lost Shoe
• STORY: Ruby’s New Shoes
• SONG: Walkin’ Shoes

This podcast – SHOES – is number 50!! That’s a lot of songs and stories!!  SHOES is also the longest podcast so far, just over 21 minutes.

We always start with a hello song – it’s Anneliese’s turn today. The next song is an old nursery rhyme which I set to music. The original words are:
Little Betty Boo has lost her little shoe,
Oh what will little Betty do?
We can find her another, to match the other,
And then she can walk around on two.

Because the story features Ruby, of course we sing about Ruby who lost her red shoe, and then add other names and different colors of shoes. What color shoes would you choose?

The last song evolved from the snippet “I’ve got my walking shoes on.” A melody developed and before long I had a song about different things you do with your shoes on – like dancing and hopping.

As I love to do with songs, there is time in the podcast for YOU to add your own ideas. In the first song you can put your own name in and choose a color for your shoes. In the second shoe song you can think of different actions to do.
Enjoy!
