Walking in the Green Grass

USA

HISTORY AND SONG NOTES

Walking in the Green is an American folksong from Kentucky.

AUDIO RECORDING FOR LISTENING, SINGING ALONG, AND LEARNING:

You’ll notice that in the recording the movements change, and the feeling of the music changes along with them; this is an opportunity for the children to move expressively to the music in different ways. Once the children are familiar with the song, they can choose their own movements.

PIANO ACCOMPANIMENT:

This accompaniment is arranged to fit the words and movements “walking in the green grass,” “rocking in the green grass,” and “dancing in the green grass.”
