How to use this song with your child

1. 1

   Make “mani” the word of the day

   This song repeats “mani” (hands) on 13 lines. Use it once or twice during the day outside the song, and let your child correct you if you get it wrong.

2. 2

   Split the parts

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

   Make it a routine

   At 1:55, play it once a day at the same moment for a week. Pull a face for each feeling as it's sung, and let your child guess which one.
