Activities:

1) Rehearse and perform a dance to go with the song.  Can you learn the words and tune off by heart?

2) Use house hold objects as instruments and create a rhythm pattern to play along with the song.

3) Have a look at an atlas.  Can you find all the countries that are named in the song
