Granny’s in the Kitchen! This is an action song for kids about making a chocolate cake, yum!
A Fun Action Song for kids to Develop New Skills
Pre-K and kindergarten-aged children will love this action song, as it’s a great and playful way to learn new things. The children get introduced to different ways of moving, which helps them get more conscious of their body and how it works – as well as raising their spatial awareness.
This action song for kids also trains their listening skills, as well as their musical skills: they’ll (try to) tap to the beat, join in with a repeated verse, and learn the dynamics of singing or playing instruments loudly or softly.
Use this song with real musical instruments for kids – or get some kitchen utensils as props!
Lyrics to “Granny’s in the Kitchen”:
Granny’s in the kitchen
Gonna help her make a chocolate cake
Granny’s in the kitchen
Gonna help her make a chocolate cake
She’s bashing around and making a sound
Granny’s in the kitchen
Granny’s in the kitchen
Gonna get there soon so I can lick the spoon
Granny’s in the kitchen
Gonna get there soon so I can lick the spoon
She’s bashing around and making a sound,
Granny’s in the kitchen
Granny’s in the kitchen. Granny’s in the kitchen (x2)
She’s bashing around and making a sound,
Granny’s in the kitchen.
4, 3, 2, 1!
Gonna cook it in the oven and I know that I’ll be loving that chocolate cake (x 2)
She’s bashing around and making a sound,
Granny’s in the kitchen
Granny’s in the kitchen. Granny’s in the kitchen (x2)
She’s bashing around and making a sound,
Granny’s in the kitchen
