Question

Read this song, then answer the questions that follow.

Hic-ko-ry Dic-ko-ry Dock!

The mouse ran up the clock.

The clock struck 'ONE",

The mouse ran down,

Hic-ko-ry Dic-ko-ry Dock!

1. How can children move up and down to act out the mouse in the song.

Answer 1

They will make an upcycled Hickory Dickory Dock out of old cardboard boxes, and a little mouse out of some old scraps of material.Once they’ve made these, they’ll find that they come out time and time again along with this fun song, game and activity. The song has the steady beat of the tick tock of the clock throughout, so it is perfect for learning to feel and recognise the beat. Even very little babies will understand the concept of a little mouse running up and down, and will love a pretend mouse tickling them as it runs up their arm and down again – giggles guaranteed!
