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 Tips:
This tune can also serve as a great transition tune, replace “if you hear me, clap once…”
Consider pairing it with the game “Shimon Omer” which is the Hebrew title of “Simon Says” or “The Shaky Tushy” by Mama Doni or “My Body is Part of Me” by Ellen Allard to reinforce the learning!
Chords:
A A E A
