Common misconception
Echo and call and response are the same.
An echo is an exact match of a phrase. A call and response is a question and answer structure in which the response can be different from the call.
Teacher tip
Puppets can be really helpful when singing echo songs. The children know that whoever has the puppet or prop sings first and then the rest of the class imitate.
