Here is a little rhyme we will sing in class, watch it at home and do the actions while you sing together 🙂 Lyrics to one verse are below.  Just repeat the same verse each time and replace the bold with any face or body part, or anything for that matter!

小手拍拍,小手拍拍,
手指伸出来,手指伸出来,
眼睛在哪里,眼睛在这里,
用手指出来,用手指出来.

xiǎo shǒu pāi pāi , xiǎo shǒu pāi pāi ,
shǒu zhǐ shēn chū lái , shǒu zhǐ shēn chū lái ,
yǎn jing zài nǎ lǐ , yǎn jing zài zhè lǐ ,
yòng shǒu zhǐ chū lái , yòng shǒu zhǐ chū lái。

Clap your hands, clap your hands
Extend your finger, extend your finger
Where are your eyes? Your eyes are here.
Point with your finger, point with your finger.

 

Here is the Groovi Pauli Christmas song we sing in class. Don’t forget you can buy Groovi Pauli’s albums on iTunes, he has a whole album of celebration festival songs and are great to listen to in the car!

Below the video are the pinyin lyrics and literal translation, but you can find the Chinese characters on the attached santa claus coming to town images for song that I created.  We will learn some actions with the cards so that it is easier for you to remember!

Xiǎopéngyǒu, nǐ bùyào kū
wǒmen lái yīqǐ, hāhā dà xiào
shèngdàn lǎorén jìn chéng lái liao

tā zhīdào nǐ shuìjiàole, tā zhīdào nǐ méi shuì
tā zhīdào nǐ guāi bù guāi, suǒyǐ nǐ yào guāi

literal translation:

little children, no need to cry

lets get together and be happy

santa Claus is coming to town

he knows if you are asleep, he knows if you’re not asleep

he knows if you are good or not good, so you need to be good
