Before we play the game, I make up a story about a boy who heard of a magical candy castle. He travels over mountains and jungles to get there, and when he finally does - Good King Leopold isn’t very nice and doesn’t let him cross!

I learned it from Kristin Vogt during my Kodaly levels, and it’s a staple in my classroom for quarter rest! But I changed the words to match a storybook (Rub a Dub Dub) I have in my classroom.

Chesley Talissé-Woodburn on Instagram: "Addams Family Song is always a favorite in the music room around this time of year! 🎃 This has been a great prep before I actually teach the “cup song” in a few weeks! It has also been a great way to reinforce steady beat and it has also just helped us focus on working as a team!
