动起来 – Get up and move song

This is our other exercise echo song that we do in class!  We can watch Groovi Pauli do this one on the smartboard and follow him! Groovi Pauli shares lots of videos that kids love in class, but he has lots more songs that you can buy from iTunes.

This song has body parts, left/right/ quick/slow, lots of healthy vocab, and of course that 把 construction!

Here are the lyrics

动动动起来    不要懒惰

动动身体      身体健康

把手举起来    把手动一动

把手放下来    把脚动一动

身体向右转    身体向左转

身体扭一扭

慢慢走   快快走

慢慢跳   快快跳

拍拍肩膀   拍拍头

拍拍肚子

不错啊, 谢谢 , 感觉很好对不对? 加油!

Dòng dòng dòng qǐlái,    bùyào lǎnduò
Dòng dòng shēntǐ,     shēntǐ jiànkāng
Bǎshǒu jǔ qǐlái,      bǎ shǒudòng yīdòng
Bǎshǒu fàng xiàlái,       bǎ jiǎo dòng yīdòng
Shēntǐ xiàng yòu zhuǎn,       shēntǐ xiàng zuǒ zhuǎn
Shēntǐ niǔ yī niǔ
Màn man zǒu,      kuài kuàizǒu
Màn man tiào,      kuài kuài tiào
Pāi pāi jiānbǎng,      pāi pāi tóu
Pāi pāi dùzi
Tíng
Bùcuò a, xièxiè, gǎnjué hěn hǎo duì bùduì? Jiāyóu!

Translation – Get up and move, don’t be lazy, move your body, your body will be healthy, put your hands in the air, move your hands about, put your hands down, move your feet about, turn your body to the right, turn your body to the left, wiggle your body, slowly walk, quickly walk, slowly jump, quickly jump, pat your shoulders, pat your head, pat your stomach, stop. not bad eh, feeling good right? Come on!

早操歌 -Morning Exercise Song

This is a great body movement song, and is an echo song, great for getting the kids to sing back the Chinese!  We sing this in class often.

I originally learned this song from some American dude on youtube, who had videoed his adult Mandarin students practicing it in class, but I can’t seem to find it now, so can’t reference it…if you know of the Dude’s name / link let me know so that I can link it.  But I did have a MP3 on my hard drive of it, so here it is for you to listen to…
