Music and Lyrics by Sarah Aroeste
Notes from the songwriter:
Have fun with my Ladino version of “Old MacDonald!” This song teaches
basic numbers from 1-10. If you or your child speaks any Spanish, point out
if there are any differences in how the numbers are pronounced (uno, dos,
tres, kuatro, sinko, sesh, siete, ocho, mueve, diez). Also notice that some of
the animal noises may sound a little different—anything goes in this song.
Encourage your child to repeat the Ladino number and then make an animal
noise that matches the animal. Easy!
