Hello Beth, I did the “Abiyo, Abeyo” with my 4 to 5-year-olds at it was beautiful!!! They caught on to it quickly and their voices carried the melody and sounded so lovely together. I plan on working with it more and adding clapping, body movement and instruments. I tried to find more about the song online but only found one YouTube video of a German choir singing it. Where did you find it? Again, thank you very much for all that you are so generously giving on your blog. Best wishes, Sylvia near San Francisco, CA.
Sylvia, that’s GREAT! Thanks so much for sharing your success story! Wow, I can’t even remember where I found that song! I find them in so many places: mostly books and online.
