How to use this song with your child

  1. 1

    Count the “spielen”s

    “spielen” means “to play” and comes up on 12 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 German ones, then swap. It turns listening into speaking.

  3. 3

    Make it a routine

    At 1:46, play it once a day at the same moment for a week. Collect a few treasures on a walk and name them with the German words.
