Any #folkmusic nerds out there aware of papers/dissertations on form/tradition/history/performative context of songs beginning with a call to listen? ‘Come all ye’, ‘listen unto me’, ‘hear my story’ and the like... curious! #folklore#askafolklorist#tradsongs#folklorethursday
In Australia, it’s called ‘Corona Tiggy’, in Canada, ‘Corona Ball’, in Alabama, ‘Covid Tag’. Universally, kids use play to make sense of their world.
We are documenting play during the pandemic in Australia. Can you help us? Please share. All info: https://t.co/yKOwxKw9rQ #play

Pandemic Play, a new research project needs your contribution. Read more here: https://t.co/2K4X4Erlpo
The project came about because of this moment in history that we all share, and the recognition of the importance of play in the lives of children. #PlayToday#PandemicPlay
An Australian project - documenting children’s lore and play culture during pandemic. Please circulate widely - we want to collect as much data as possible!
Get your play hats on! #kids#children#play#COVID19Aus#research#folklore
“Jingle bells, Batman smells...”
If you can complete the next line and have kids, help us document what’s happening in the secret world of kids’ play culture over the next week!
Covid tip or tiggy? Jokes and rhymes? Hopscotch?
We want your stories!
