It's really a coincident that I already palnned for chinese teaching material last week for today, counting numbers of "the ants" and also counting ant's legs. I pick one of the songs from the CD : "There's an Ant" Track 7. But firstly translate into chinese, here's the translation :
一只蚂蚁 靠近我身边
yi zhi mayi, kao jin wo shen bian
one little ant, come near on me 一只蚂蚁 靠近我身边
yi zhi mayi, kao jin wo shen bian
one little ant, come near on me我怕 我 eeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh................
wo pa, wo eeeeeehhhhh.............
I'm scared I'm eeeeeeeehhhhh............ 它来我身边
ta lai wo shen bian
It still come near on me一只蚂蚁 靠近我身边
yi zhi mayi, kaojin wo shen bian
one little ant, come near on meI changed the translation for finding the suitable words in chinese language.
We had so much fun from the song. When we were singing the song, we also did the motions :
1. We do the "ant's face" by putting our both index finger on our forehead, pointing to front.
2. We do the "crawling things" by playing our finger just liked an ant crawling and towards to us.
3. we do the "eeeeeehhhhh......." the yikes part by jumping on the spot and shaking our body and both hands.
In this session, I also introduced all about the ants to the children.
How's the ants' crawling ? or
What do the ants like to eat ? or
Why do the ants crawl in the line ? or
Where do the ants crawl ? or
What's it called the pair of pointing stuff on ant's forehead ? the answer is the antennas.
Alot of children didn't know what it's called, they just called it,"ant's horns" or "ant's hair" or "ant's moustache" or "ant's ears" ....................hahaha LOL :D
After the class, I still can hear they are singing the song together at the playground :)
Ma yi = ant
