Once Upon A Time

Song of the Month · 2014

This song provides a fun way to learn about sentence structure, and some parts of speech while making up a silly story and song- all in a single sentence! In the lyrics below, words that are written in colors are the ones that kids can "swap out" to change the song each time they sing it. (See the activity pages for instructions on building this nonsensical song! )

Once upon a time, in a land far away

Once upon a time, in a land far away
