Exercises Level 3: Songs with games


  A la zapatilla - Songs with games






The children sit in a circle and sing the song. Beforehand a child will be chose to run around the circle, when singing "mirar por arriba" they look up, when singing "mirar por abajo" they look down. When singing "a dormir, a dormir que vienen los Reyes Magos" they put the head on the feet and close the eyes, pretending to sleep. During the last verses the child running around the circle has put a shoe behind one of the children. Now the children check with closed eyes whether the shoe is behind them. The one, who finds the shoe tries to catch the one who has put it. The one who has put the shoe tries to take the seat of the one chasing him. The one, who first reaches his goal can sit down, the other one stays up with the shoe and the games starts all over.
