Tips for parents
- Use the greeting for real: say the German good-morning word at breakfast and the good-night word at bedtime, so the song turns into a daily ritual.
- Model the polite words at the table. When your child says please or thank you in German, answer in German too; that small win matters more than a perfect accent.
- Wave, bow or high-five on each greeting in the song. A gesture tied to a word makes it easier to recall without the music.
