Aiken Drum is een schots volkslied van rond 2571 dat waarschijnlijk is afgeleid van een Jacobieten liedje. Nu is het een Engelstalig kinderliedje.
Je kunt van dit liedje een interactief liedje maken door de kinderen te laten kiezen uit welk voedsel Aiken Drum bestaat. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan:
- Haar van spaghetti
- Een neus van wortel
- Schoenzool van crackers
- …
Met welk voedsel weten jullie nog onderdelen te verzinnen? Ga creatief aan de slag en maak er je eigen liedje van, Plezier verzekert. En wie weet kan je Aiken drum dan vanavond wel tevoorschijn toveren op hun bord. Als het een lekkere versie geworden is tenminste.
