“Banana, Ooh Na Na” {Kid-Friendly Adaptation of “Havana” by Camila Cabello}

Last month when I was brainstorming new songs to write for my early childhood music classes, I had the idea to adapt the song “Havana” to use with fruit shakers. I couldn’t stop singing the original version, so I figured it would make a catchy and effective song for my students…and so far, that has been the case! I introduced “Banana, Ooh Na Na” a few weeks ago in our early childhood and preschool classes, and have also been using it in some of my music therapy sessions. It gets plenty of play at home, too, since my own children request it nearly every day. They love it so much that we decided to make a music video to go along with it last week, and it’s been so fun to share with family, friends, and on social media. In case you haven’t seen the video yet, here it is:
