Description

I’m A Little Teapot is an American novelty song about the heating and pouring of a teapot or a whistling tea kettle.

The song was originally written by George Harold Sanders and Clarence Z. Kelley and published in 1939.

By 1941, a Newsweek article referred to the song as “the next inane novelty song to sweep the country”. (Source: Wikipedia)

It is a favourite traditional Nursery Rhyme song packed with potential for early childhood learning. Also, it is a simple song and easy to sing.

The actions that accompany the song help children with their gross motor skills, which in turn activates their executive brain function.

I’m a little teapot, short and stout.
(Standing)
Here is my handle, here is my spout.
(Stand with one hand on hip and the other out to the side, for the spout) 
When I get all steamed up, hear me shout,
Tip me over, pour me out!
(Bend body sideways, as if pouring out tea)

Teaching Points: action, gross motor skills, improvisation, drama.
