Anne Johnson - Kids Go!

Kids Go!
By They Might Be Giants
Illustrations by Pascal Campion

“Kids Go!” is a book by a band called “They Might Be Giants”. There is supposed to be an accompanying animated DVD that I expect would enhance the experience quite a bit. I assume the words in the book are the lyrics to a song by the band, but it’s difficult to tell how they fit together rhythmically without hearing the music. The book gives students a great opportunity to get up and move around the room, following the directions of the lyrics. I expect a teacher could read the book to their students, and then put on the DVD and let kids get up and “jump along”, “stand on one leg”, and “move like a monkey”.
