We had a BLAST with the 3rd Grade Concert! The theme was "It's a Small, Small World", and we took the audience on a trip around the world with a bunch of cultural songs. The songs included...
"Tideo" - America
"Sarasponda" - Holland
"Ach Ja!" - Germany
"Stodola Pumpa" - Czechoslovakia
"Cuckoo" - Austria
"A Ram Sam Sam" - Morocco
"Pandoga" - Ghana
"Kookaburra" - Australia
"Zum Gali Gali Gali" - Israel
"Hazrat Bibi Mariam" - Arab
"Tikki Tikki Tembo" - China
(this last one was a mini musical with xylophone ensemble...I was so impressed with them!)
I especially loved this concert because Story City is an extremely (and beautifully!) sheltered community. I felt like these songs helped us get out of our little Iowan town a little bit, and we were able to learn and talk about different places, people groups, and music styles from around the world.
WAY TO GO 3rd GRADERS!!
