mi cuerpo
Mi cuerpo hace música ~~~ There's music inside me!
Fun for younger children... shake your booty! heard first via Sarah Pirtle. Check her out!
I'm a better teacher thanks to her wonderful music, writing and perspective.
Mi cuerpo, mi cuerpo hace música! (2x)
Mis manos hacen ... (clap, clap, clap) DO it; dont say it!
Mis pies hacen... (stamp, stamp, stamp) DO it; dont say it!
Mi boca hace la, la, la.... SING it this time.
Mi cintura hace cha, cha, cha! Hands on hips - side to side!
Sarah Pirtle's The Wind is Telling Secrets has this catchy affirming song. I've linked you to A Gentle Wind to buy it, or visit her website (above) to read about it and her work. My now grown daughter and I loved this CD.
Other songs that I sing with your children come from the book/CD : Linking UP, Using Music, Movement, and Language Arts to Promote Caring, Cooperation and Communication. Many of the songs are included also in Spanish, and are really fun and helpful to children learning how to be friends and allies.
