From the Holidays for Minors album, here is a 7/8 version for rhythmic variety and a touch of weirdness. You can think of this as 2 + 2 + 3. The rhythm pattern is fun to put in various body percussion schemes.
A delightful and DO-ABLE piece for kids in 7 meter. The ascending instrumental section would be a great movement opportunity. I like this piece!

I have taught general music to Kindergarten through graduate music courses at 2 Florida universities.Florida State and Florida Atlantic Universities. I taught at FAU for 34 years. I am past president of the FEMEA (Florida Elementary Music Educators Association) and served on the FEMEA Board for over 6 years. I wrote the Alma Mater for Florida Atlantic University and published 3 albums of childrens songs in 1975-78. They are being used by Florida music teachers even today. I am currently retired enjoying the outdoor sports of my adopted home state of Colorado.
