about

This track sounds marvellous played on triangles, which are always best played in small doses!
Once the children can sing this song, encourage them to listen for the word 'sun' and play their triangle one time every time they sing it.
The middle section of the song can be played on guiros (listen to the track to hear where).
The instrumental verse sounds fabulous if the children hear the song in their heads and play at the appropriate time.

lyrics

Mister Sun, sun, Mister golden sun,
Please shine down on me.
Oh Mister Sun, sun, Mister golden sun,
Hiding behind a tree.
These little children are asking you,
To please come out so we can play with you,
Mister Sun, sun, Mister golden sun,
PLease shine down on me!

Little Minstrels New Zealand

I love music - I love kids! Little Minstrels all began with a few classes at a preschool in 2005. Since then it has grown into my part-time job and full-time passion, developing my own teaching programme and writing and recording songs to suit. These songs have stood the test of time and have been loved by the preschoolers I teach. I hope your chidren enjoy them too! ... more
