We are going to work on learning our numbers 1-10. I bet many children already know some if not all them in Spanish. We will also look at the calendar to help with visualization.
Our numbers song comes from Youtube under:
“Canciones infantiles los numeros 2” and features a little mouse with maracas.
Empieza con uno… (It starts with one)
Uno, dos, tres ,cuatro, cinco (1,2,3,4,5)
Seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez, (6,7,8,9,10)
Y vamos a contar otra vez (And we are going to count again)
Because the kids love our Heads, shoulders, knees and toes song so much, I wanted to introduce a new song to keep it fun…Hokey Pokey which is available on iTunes as:
Spanish Playtime—Muévete-Learn Spanish Through Song and Movement--Hokey Pokey.
The lyrics are roughly translated on the Muévete web site as:
Mete una mano (Put your right hand in)
Saca una mano (Take your right hand out)
Mete una mano y sacúdela (Put your right hand in and shake it all about)
Baila el hokey pokey y (Do the hokey pokey and)
Dáte una vuelta (Turn yourself around)
Y así se bailará (And that’s what it’s all about)
Mete la otra mano (Put your left hand in)
Saca la otra mano (Take your left hand out)
Mete la otra mano y sacúdela (Put your left hand in and shake it all about)
Balia el hokey pokey y dáte una vuelta (Do the hokey pokey and)
Y así se bailará
Mete un pie (Put your right foot in)
Saca un pie (Take your right foot out)
Mete un pie y sacúdelo (Put your right foot in and you shake it all about)
Balia el hokey pokey y (Do the hokey pokey and)
dáte una vuelta (turn yourself around)
Y así se bailará (And that’s what it’s all about)
Mete el otro pie (Put your left foot in)
Saca el otro pie (Take your left foot out)
Mete el otro pie y sacúdelo (Put your left foot in and shake it all about)
Balia el hokey pokey y (Do the hokey pokey and)
dáte una vuelta (turn yourself around)
Y así se bailará (that’s what it’s all about)

Saca la cabeza (Take your head out)
Mete la cabeza y sacúdela (Put your head in and shake it all about)
Balia el hokey pokey y (Do the hokey pokey)

Mete la cadera (Put your hips in)
Saca la cadera (take your hips out)
Mete la cadera y sacúdela (put your hips in and shake them all about)
Balia el hokey pokey y (do the hokey pokey)

Y así se bailará (that’s what it’s all about)
Mete todo el cuerpo (Put your whole body in)
Saca todo el cuerpo (take your body out)
Mete todo el cuerpo y sacúdelo (put your body in and shake it all about)
Balia el hokey pokey y (do the hokey pokey)
Y así se bailará (that’s what it’s all about)
