1.Dialogue (8 bars)

1 - 8 bar

“Sparow, sparrow!"

"What, what, what?"

"Where are you perching?"

"In a chimney."

"What are you doing?"

"I feel bad."

"What aches?"

"My head.”

Going round the circle, the kids are singing the song.

2. Showing, what aches. (12 bars)

1 - 12 bar

“Sparrow, poor, was all ill, his head ached.”

Kids let their hands free and are showing how the sparrow’s head ached: they take their heads with their hands and go round, bending a little because of the pain.

Repeating the circle, the other parts of body can be aching, e.g. a leg, a nail, a tummy, eyes, a wing, etc. Every time the kids show the painful place the way they can do it. Singing “the back was aching”, all fall on the ground and clap their palms, beating their feet against the floor”.
