Hear the Chimes? What's the Time?



Hear the Chimes? What's the Time?

There's this cute little song from Gospel Light that I will be sharing with the Kindergarten age kids at Sunday School. I wanted to bring in the triangle when the children say aloud the hours by number.

 

God Made (Acts 17:24)

 


G                        D                              G
God made the world And everything in it.
                           D                              G
God made the world And everything in it.

Hear the chime?

What's the time?

Count the hours with me!

One, two, three,... (repeat)
D                G
ev'ry-thing in it.

 

Singing The Melody

 


The melody line is sung in the Key of G and I've written the single melody notes out in the r.h.
These are not chords!


B        G    G    A       D     D D A        B G
God made the world And everything in it.
B         G    G   D       D     D  D A       B  G
God made the world And everything in it.

Hear the chime?

What's the time?

Count the hours with me!
GBD (chord)
One, two, three,... (repeat)
D D   A     B  G
ev'ry-thing in it.

The Triangle

 

The triangle is an idiophone type of musical instrument in the percussion family. It is a bar of metal, usually steel but sometimes other metals like beryllium copper, bent into a triangle shape. The instrument is usually held by a loop of some form of thread or wire at the top curve. It was first made around the 16th century. For more information,  visit http://en.wikipedia.org

 

Chicago

 

This song about time reminds me of two adult type songs that rose to huge popularity in the 80s. Of course, there's great songs about time not only for kids but grownups, too.

I love the band Chicago and I'm especially fond of, "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" If you're interested in playing the song for your own enjoyment, you can find the chords at http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

Cyndi Lauper

 

One of my high school students awhile back wanted to play a very popular song, Time After Time. I posted the chords to the song and a video of me playing, http://ladydpiano.blogspot.com

Elizabeth Dulemba provided this cute pinata illustration and I enjoyed adding a bit of color to it in PhotoShop. If you enjoy creativity projects, be sure and visit her fun blog

We celebrated my grandson's 6th birthday at the park with family and friends. Of course, the hitting at the pinata was the hit of the party! Have you ever made your very own pinata?

 

What Is A Pinata?


 A piñata is a container often made of papier-mâché, pottery, or cloth; it is decorated, and filled with small toys or candy, or both, and then broken as part of a ceremony or celebration. Piñatas are commonly associated with Mexico. The idea of breaking a container filled with treats came to Europe in the 14th century, where the name, from the Italian pignatta, was introduced.

Pianata Song 


I have heard folks sing this song while the children are swinging at the pinata!

Spanish:
Dale, dale, dale.
No pierdas el tino.
Porque si lo pierdes.
Pierdes el camino.
Ya le diste una.
Ya le diste dos.
Ya le diste tres.
Y tu tiempo se acabó.

English:
Hit it, hit it, hit it.
Don’t lose your aim.
Because if you lose it.
You lose the way.
You hit it once.
You hit it twice.
You hit it three times.
And your time is up.

Chords

(D)Dale, dale (A7)dale
No pierdas el (D)tino
Por que si lo (A7)pierdes,
Pierdes el (D)camino
Ya le diste(A7)uno
Ya le diste (D)dos
Ya le diste (A7)tres
Y tu tiempo se (D)acabo
