the bath song

 

Spesso cerchiamo occasioni durante la giornata per introdurre l’inglese in modo naturale nelle attività dei bambini. ‘The Bath Song’ è una canzoncina in inglese per bambini che sembra proprio adatta a questo scopo.

Il momento del bagnetto è una bella occasione per godere della pausa rilassante e giocare con i bambini. Con i più piccoli si imparano i nomi delle parti del corpo. Con i più grandi si gioca con l’acqua facendo piccoli esperimenti. Perché non fare tutto questo in inglese con una canzone? ‘The Bath Song’ è una canzoncina per bambini del canale Youtube Super Single Song. Il testo è utile per imparare a strutturare le frasi in inglese con ‘Can I…?” e i nomi delle parti del corpo. Ecco il testo della canzone e i movimenti:

 

Can you wash your hair? [Shrug your shoulders, make an inquisitive look with your face, and pretend to wash your hair.]
I can wash my hair. [Pretend to wash your hair.]

Can you wash your feet? [Shrug your shoulders, make an inquisitive look with your face, and pretend to wash your feet.]
I can wash my feet. [Pretend to wash your feet.]
