Teaching ideas
We could use the beginning of the song as a memory-tip to teach and remember the interval of the perfect 4th. This interval appears three times at the first three phrases.

Find other famous melodies that start also with 4th (like Mozart’s allegro from “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik“, “O Christmas Tree” or “Adeste Fideles“.
