How did you get here? How did you get here? How did you get here? How did you get here? How did you get here? I came here by aeroplane, By aeroplane, by aeroplane. I came here by car, By car, by car. I came here by train, By train, by train. I came here by rocket, By rocket, by rocket. (Repeat Chorus) I came here by helicopter, By helicopter, by helicopter. I came here by boat, By boat, by boat. I came here by bus, By bus, by bus. I came here by mountain bike, by mountain bike, by mountain bike. (Repeat Chorus) |

In the classroom or at home ........
The Genki English songs all have gestures and games to go with them, and
of course kids love pretending to be cars, boats and trains. Using music,
pictures and gestures makes sure as many of the kids as possible will remember
the English.
This question may seem tricky, but the main point of the song is to practise modes of transport. As with the sports song, the best way is to mime the actions of each form of transport. Also, the teacher can sing the first "I came here byc.", then the kids sing the next two repeats.
It's even better if one group says the first repeat, then another group
says the second repeat ( whilst making the gesture of course!). See who
can sing the loudest. This motivates even the coolest 5th grade class.
