Stand Proud, My Pretty
Chanson enfantine
Children's Song
(French)
(English)
Carrez-vous mignonne, carrez-vous,
Faites la claquette, la claquette,
Faites la claquette comme nous.
Stand proud, my pretty, do stand proud,
Make a clapping sound, a clapping sound,
Make a clapping sound just like us.
Game Instructions
Edit' explains: "I have the children play a rhythm game to this song: we find all the ways to do a clapping sound using different parts of the body, then using small percussion instruments…
The children must spot the moment to sing in unison ('carrez-vous, mignonne') and the moment when they must make a beat or clap ('faites la claquette la claquette… comme nous'). A leader can be chosen during the game and s/he must show the group how to make the clapping sound.
