A Bit of Kinetic Learning

Here are two children’s action songs using parts of the body and descriptions:

I’m a Little Teapot

Tho’vy tepot bian, berr ha kern.   I’m a little teapot, short and round

Otta tethen, otta dorn.                   Behold a spout, behold a handle

Mor qwra tekel bryjyon, goslow’ orta’vy         

                                                       If a kettle boils, listen to me

“Derevow’ vy ha divera te.”       “Lift me up and pour tea.”

Head, shoulder, leg, toes   (to tune of head, shoulders, knees and toes!)

Pedn, scoodh, garr, besies troos; garr, besies troos,

Pedn, scoodh, garr, besies troos; garr, besies troos,

Dewlagas, scovornow, ganow, ha frigow,      

                                                      two eyes, ears, mouth and nose

Pedn, scoodh, garr, besies troos; garr, besies troos.
