What Is A Philanthropist?
Use this song for younger children. Older students may choose to do their own adaptation of a familiar melody, or create an original rap explaining the concept.
Adapted by Tracey Fritz
From the K-2 Learning to Give unit "Let’s Make Lemonade"
Sing to the tune of "Are You Sleeping?"
Teacher: What is a philanthropist?
Students: What is a philanthropist?
Teacher: Do you want to know?
Students: Yes, I want to know!
Teacher: It’s giving of your time,
Your talent,
And your treasure,
For the common good.
Students: For the common good.
Second time through teacher and students switch parts to allow the students a chance to sing the definition.
