In Japan parents bath their kids everyday, so it's an ideal opportunity to introduce some English at an early age. You can of course use it in school or kindergarten, just get the kids to mime!

This is actually one of the easiest songs to teach in a class as the kids can touch each part of the body as they sing.

As with the other Kids English themes, there aren't any picture cards, so the easiest way to teach it is to play the 20 minute video. This then leads into the song, which you can sing in class.


Game

Then you can play the next part of the video explaining the game. This time it's really easy, the kids listen to what the presenter says and touches this part of their bodies. The fun part comes when they try and touch several parts at once!

On the CD we also explain the game rules in Japanese ( just in case!), and run through several variations of the game.


Picture Book: "Bubble Bubble"

As with the other Kids English themes, once the kids have learnt the song they can easily understand the picture book, even in one 45 minute lesson. On the CD there are three recordings of the narration, chose the one according to the kids mood from "Parentese" ( really slow and clear), "Normal" or "Genki".
