Penguin song

 


Penguin song,

 by The Learning Station

Lyrics 

Have you ever seen a penguin come to tea?

If you look at me a penguin you will see.

Penguin attention (stiff your body),  

penguin begin (salute).

Right flipper ( flap your right hand like a penguin).

Then you start over the lyrics then add left flipper, right foot, left foot, bob your head, stick out your tongue and turn in a circle.

You can watch it on YouTube. 

Last year this song was a hit singing by me.  This year I needed help from the video to convince them that it was fun .  We watched one time then they were convinced.  I use my phone or my tablet sometimes but the less the better.  

I wrote the song and hang it on the wall in the circle area so I can read it whenever I want to sing it. By now I know it by heart.

I'm not a singer but I think a real but bad singer is better for your kids than a perfect one on a screen.  

If I can sing it you can you.

I try to not turn my back on the children.  If I ever do, for example to open the shed in the playground,  I count them first and acknowledge that they are safe and behaved, if not I take care of that first.  Then I am quick at opening the shed or whatever else and then I count them again and see ...
