Polly put the kettle on, we'll all have tea! Polly and Sukey are giving a tea party: set the table, knock, knock, who's there? Say hello, wait for the whistle, pour and pass, please and thank you, oops, a spill, and washing up. Sing the rhyme everyone knows, take turns being Polly and Sukey, and find the little blue bird on every page.
Level 3 · Sing It Through
Longer verses, more to remember.
The child: Sings whole verses, follows a story, keeps counts and sequences, and can learn the tune on the keys.
The grown-up: Shares the singing. Try word mode and the melody view, or the Piano Path lesson for the tune.
