Week 2: Lots of singing (10 septiembre)

In addition to the songs from week one, this week we added a few new words and songs.

We added a new action to "Simon says":

baile (BAIY-leh): dance

We also added a song about Juanito dancing. First he dances with his pointer finger (el dedito (deh-DEE-toh)), then he dances with his foot (pie (pee-YEH)), etc. The children act out the movement as we sing about each part of the body. José Luis Orozco has a version of this song on his Diez Deditos CD. You can find that song here.

Juanito cuando baila
Juanito, cuando baila,
baila, baila, baila.
Juanito, cuando baila,
baila con el dedito.
Con el dedito, ito, ito.
Así baila Juanito.

Juanito, cuando baila,
baila, baila, baila.
Juanito, cuando baila,
baila con el pie.
Con el pie, pie, pie.
Con el dedito, ito, ito.
Así baila Juanito.

We will sing this song often, adding body parts such as the knee (la rodilla (row-DEE-yah)), head (la cabeza (kah-BEH-zah) that correspond to the theme for the week. You can find a similar version here.
