Az angolul tanuló gyerekek leghamarabb talán a Head, shoulders, knees and toes dalt tanulják meg, mert könnyen mutogatható, könnyen megjegyezhető. A magyar zenebölcsiben is sokszor énekeltük a Fejem, a vállam, a térdem, a bokám című dalt, amely hasonló az angolhoz. Először szóban végigmutogattuk a testrészeket, aztán éneklés közben is mindig az adott testrészre mutatunk:
"This is my head. These are my shoulders. These are my knees and these are my toes. These are my eyes and these are my ears. This is my mouth and this is my nose. Now, let's sing!"
"Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes.
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes.
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose.
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes."
Miután kétszer elénekeltük a fenti dalt, a Hokey-Pokey című dallal folytatjuk a testrészekkel való ismerkedést. Ezt különösen hamar megtanulják a gyerekek, mert rázhatják benne a kezüket, lábukat, fejüket, feneküket és egész testüket, tapsolnak, felállnak, leülnek, szóval jól átmozgatja a kis sajtkukacokat.
"Let's try the Hokey Pokey!
Show me one hand. (Hold up one hand.)
You put one hand in. (Put one hand in the circle.)
One hand out. (Put that hand out of the circle.)

And you shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. (Shake your hand.)

And you shake, shake, shake, shake, shake.
You do the Hokey Pokey and take a bow.
Everybody take a bow.
That's right. Take a bow. Take a BIG bow."
Ezzel a dallal már közeledünk a foglalkozás végéhez, előtte azonban még ugrándozunk egy kicsit. Zalán nagyon szeret rohangálni, és kedveli ezt a dalt, amelyben sétálunk, ugrálunk, futunk, egyre gyorsabban:) A lábujjhegyen járást, úszást és alvást az első alkalommal még kihagytam, ez majd a következő találkozáskor lesz, de azért ide is beírom a szövegét.
"Boys and girls, Let's walk and run together!"
Walking, walking. Walking, walking.
Hop, hop, hop. Hop, hop, hop.
Running, running, running. Running, running, running.
Now let’s stop. Now let's stop. (Place both hands out in front of you, palms facing forward.)
Walking, walking. Walking, walking.
Hop, hop, hop. Hop, hop, hop.
Running, running, running. Running, running, running.
Now let’s stop. Now let's stop. (Place both hands out in front of you, palms facing forward.)
Tiptoe tiptoe. Tiptoe tiptoe. (Walk on your toes.)
Jump jump jump. Jump jump jump.
Swimming swimming swimming. (Make a swimming motion.)
Now let’s sleep. Now let’s sleep. (Rest your head against your hands or lie down on the ground and pretend to sleep.)
Wake up! (Eyes open! Look alert!)
It’s time to go! (Look at your watch.)
Are you ready to go fast? (Run in place quickly.)
[quickly]
Walking, walking. Walking, walking.
Hop, hop, hop. Hop, hop, hop.
Running, running, running. Running, running, running.
Now let’s stop. Now let's stop.
Walking, walking. Walking, walking.
Hop, hop, hop. Hop, hop, hop.
Running, running, running. Running, running, running.
Now let’s stop. Now let's stop.
Whew! (Wipe your brow with your forearm.)"
Kipróbálod gyerkőcöddel, hogy tetszik neki a fenti ugrándozás? A következő rész már a búcsúról fog szólni...
