In the classroom or at home ........
The best thing about Genki English songs is that they get the kids to remember
the new vocab so easily and quickly. But this song is a bit different!!
Instead of being written in order to learn new vocab, it's basically a
fun review of "My name is...", numbers and parts of the body.
But just like all the other songs, it has a melody that will stay in your
head for ages!!
Hold out your fingers whilst counting, and touch the relevant body parts whilst singing.
