How to use this song with your child

  1. 1

    Count the “thuis”s

    “thuis” means “home” and comes up on 10 lines. Keep count on your fingers together; older kids can try to predict when it's coming next.

  2. 2

    Split the parts

    Once the song is familiar, you sing the English lines and your child sings the Dutch ones, then swap. It turns listening into speaking.

  3. 3

    Make it a routine

    At 2:40, play it once a day at the same moment for a week. Make little paper labels with the song's Dutch words and stick them around the house.
