Lyrics

Hickety pickety bumblebee,
Can you sing your name for me?
(Student) My name is “—-”
(Class echo) Your name is “—-”

I have seen this as “Hickety Tickety Bumblebee,” but I prefer “pickety” because it is less of a tongue twister for me. This song is very useful for younger grades like Preschool, K and 1st. The students get used to singing their names regularly, and I can do matching pitch performance assessments very easily. I vary the key I sing it in (keeping the tessitura between middle C and high C), because some young singers have more success in some keys than others. So, assess them more than once.
