Say it along

The Timblemoon Chant

Every Timblemoon book ends with the whole village saying the same four lines. Watch it, say it along, then print the card and keep it by the bed.

Timblemoon, Timblemoon,

up the hill and up with the moon!

Lift your light, however small —

Timblemoon has room for all!

Chant along

Five clips from the hill

The one to learn first — Pip, Puff and Bram lead the whole refrain.

The long-hall carol version, with the village gathered at the feast.

A short clip for practising the last two lines on your own.

A longer walk through the village while the chant goes round.

A spooky-sweet short for October — say the chant with the lanterns lit.

Once a child knows the chant, they'll want to say it again at the end of the next book. Start where Pip lifts the very first light.
