‘The Fireman’s Barbeque’ written and recorded by Susie Davies-Splitter & Phil Splitter for children up to 8 years
Tom the Fireman was walking one day, when he saw some smoke blowing his way. He ran to the fire station and put on his hat, his coat and boots and that was that.
He jumped into his truck and put his siren on. He stopped at several locations including the farmhouse where he found a mouse, the concert hall where he found a drummer, the lighthouse where he found a bird, the mountain where he found a cow and the school where he found some children. All of the characters join Tom in his fire truck to help him find the fire. Find out what happens in this fabulous cumulative story song.
Have your children role playing and making the sound effects of each character, singing every chorus, playing instruments and having oodles of fun. Add some simple props and costumes and voila – you have a mini musical or performance piece.
