This week we put together the hard work over the past 6 weeks on some of the most loved and best body action songs: Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, One Little Finger, The Pinocchio, Tofa Tafa, Hokey Pokey, and the Stretching Song. We hope you enjoy singing and dancing along to these in succession, and not hearing the PictureLyrics theme song after the end of every song 🙂 Let us know what you think, and enjoy learning English through music!

Weekly Release: Stretching Song by Have Fun Teaching
Line up your group of kids and have them wiggling and shouting in no time with this high-energy number from Have Fun Teaching. This song is a great way to get kids excited about English, and also learn lots of useful vocabulary – from actions (sit stand stretch reach) to directions (up left right in out) and more. We use this to warm the kids up every year at the annual Dream Kids Network Sports Day – bonus video of me leading an activity a couple years back, fun times. Download the slides for use in your home or classroom here, or play the video and dance and shout along.
Weekly Release: Tofa Tafa
Pick up the energy level and shake your body from your knees to your tongues with this kid favorite. We do this as a warmup every year at the Dream Kids Tokyo Undokai (Sports Day), and it works perfectly to get the kids and the crowd moving. What’s a Tofa Tafa you say? Guess you’ll have to play the video, dance and sing along to find out! And if you want to teach the words either in your home or classroom, download the slides here.
