What’s that car? Het autootje!
Pass it here? Ja, alsjeblieft!
The little car goes round the rug,Het autootje rijdt rond over het kleed,
Het autootje, geef maar door!The little car, pass it on!
What’s the ball? De bal!
Can I play? Ja, kom maar!
You roll it gently to your friend,Je rolt hem zachtjes naar je vriendje,
We spelen samen, keer op keer!We play together, again and again!
Share the toys! Delen, delen!
Play together! Samen spelen!
The car, het autootje—here you go!
The ball, de bal—roll it slow!
Share the toys! Delen, delen!
Play together! Samen spelen!
What are these? Blocks, blokken!
Build a tower, hoog en groot!
One for you and one for me,Eén voor jou en één voor mij,
Samen bouwen, één, twee, drie!Building together, one, two, three!
May I have a block? Ja, natuurlijk!
Thank you! Dank je wel!
Let’s make a house, then make a bridge,Laten we een huis bouwen, en dan een brug,
We delen alles—wat een pret!We share everything—what fun!
Share the toys! Delen, delen!
Play together! Samen spelen!
The car, het autootje—here you go!
The ball, de bal—roll it slow!
Share the toys! Delen, delen!
Play together! Samen spelen!
Your turn! Mijn beurt!
My turn! Jouw beurt!
Here you are! Alsjeblieft!
Dank je wel! Let’s play again!
Share the toys! Delen, delen!
Play together! Samen spelen!
The car, het autootje—here you go!
The ball, de bal—roll it slow!
Blocks, blokken, build up high!
Delen, spelen—give it a try!

How to use this song with your child

  1. 1

    Count the “spelen”s

    “spelen” means “to play” and comes up on 7 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 2:00, play it once a day at the same moment for a week. Play it during the routine it describes, so the words meet the real moment.
