Singing Picnics give children from primary schools across Surrey a new opportunity to perform songs to each other, play singing games and enjoy a picnic lunch at Surrey parks.
How does a Singing Picnic work?
The day starts with all schools gathering into a big circle on the grass and some group warm-up games are sung. Each school then sings a pre-prepared song for the others, after which the professional tutors lead the entire group in a call-and-response song with the assistance of the young singing leaders. The schools children then have their picnic lunches and play more singing games.
The events have been going fantastically so far and have been well received by all.
"The children thought it was amazing, with plenty of singing on our walk back to school!"
With two more events still to go we are looking forward to more fun, more signing, and more happy participants in the future.
