Singing while coloring
Where “La mère Michel” comes from, and how it is sung.
Mother Michel has lost her cat and calls out of the window for whoever will bring it back; old Lustucru answers that her cat isn’t lost, and asks for a reward. Play it in pairs: one calls from the window, hands cupped around the mouth, the other plays the crafty Lustucru. In the drawings, the cat is found again.
