What you need
Your listening ears.
Benefits
Interacting with your child through music supports language acquisition and helps with speech development. The children further develop their listening and attention skills while interacting with others and learning.
The experience
Find a cosy area at home and get ready to show your Elephant moves with this wonderful interactive song sung by Maria and Elvira in Spanish.
Para dormir a un elefante
Se necesita un chupete gigante
Un sonajero de coco
Y saber cantar un poco
Para dormir, para dormir
Para dormir a un elefante
Para dormir, para dormir
Para dormir a un elefante
Para dormir a un elefante
Se necesita un chupete gigante
Un sonajero de coco
Y saber cantar un poco
Para dormir, para dormir
Para dormir a un elefante
Para dormir, para dormir
Para dormir a un elefante
To extend the learning:
Place your baby on your lap so that they can enjoy feeling close to you. With children over the age of 2, make sure that you have their attention and eye contact. Say/sing the rhyme or emphasise some of the movements or words such as elefante, para dormir. Repeat the rhyme, but do so slowly and note the parts that the child seems to recognise.
Have fun!
