Banana Milkshake! (EY/KS1/KS2) Topic: Food & Drink, Animals, Warm Up Song with Actions [CCLI Song ID: 7181866]
This one is a fun funky song to sing for a food/drink topic, or just for fun!
This is a firm favourite in the schools Al teaches in. It's a great warm up song as it encourages the children to move and shake imaginary milkshakes along with the chorus, move high and low and freeze in certain parts - it'll keep them on their toes and listening!
Perfect for a topic on food & drink, healthy eating (can you make a healthy banana milkshake - we think so!!) and exploring new tastes. Also works well for a jungle theme as it features a monkey and a hippo.
Add shakers for extra fun - why not make banana shaped, or decorated shakers as you accompanying art activity then play them in a performance?
That's bananas!
