¡JUEGOS! GAMES!

Tuesdays don't come quick enough for me-I am loving these cute kids and hearing them clap out a rhythm in two rows, chant a counting out rhyme together & pick up these new games so quickly!

Counting out rhymes (to decide who is IT or not IT) like eeny meeny miney mo

We start off class with these to determine the order of our clapping game.

El cielo es azul.                       The sky is blue 
¿Cuánto años tienes tú?           How old are you?

Manzana, manzana,                      Apple, apple
manzana podrida                           Rotten apple
uno, dos, tres, salida                      one, two, three, out!

Cinco ratoncitos                              Five little mice
de colita gris                                    with grey tails
muevan las orejas                            move their ears
muevan la nariz                               move their nose
