Background:
This tune will introduce Hebrew vocabulary words through movement, and the teaching of the meaning is embedded in the song- no previous understand of Hebrew is required to fully participate in the tune.
Activities:
Move to the music! Make up new verses as you explore other Hebrew vocabulary words.
Teaching Tip: This tune can also serve as a great transition tune, replace “if you hear me, clap once…” with this action song.
Consider pairing it with the game “Shimon Omer” which is the Hebrew title of “Simon Says”
