Un modo davvero divertente per aiutare i bambini ad apprendere l’inglese è insegnare loro delle canzoni così che, seguendo il ritmo, riescano a memorizzare nuove parole e ad arricchire il loro vocabolario. Ce ne sono di molto carine che parlano della primavera, per esaltare la rinascita della natura con tutti i suoi fiori e colori. Ecco il testo di uno spiritoso brano in inglese che s’intitola “Spring is here“:
“Spring is here. Spring is here. How do you think I know?
I just saw a bluebird, that is how I know.
Spring is here. Spring is here. How do you think we know?
We just saw a bluebird, that is how we know.
Do the bird walk and strut your thing.
Do the bird walk, flap your wings.
Do the bird walk, do anything.
And look around for another sign of spring.
Spring is here. Spring is here. How do you think I know?
I just saw a bee, that is how I know.
Spring is here. Spring is here. How do you think we know?
We just saw a bee, that is how we know.
Do the bee walk and strut your thing.
Do the bee walk, flap your wings.
Do the bee walk, do anything.
And look around for another sign of spring.
Spring is here. Spring is here. How do you think I know?
I just saw a ladybug, that is how I know.
Spring is here. Spring is here. How do you think we know?
We just saw a ladybug, that is how we know.
Do the ladybug walk and strut your thing.
Do the ladybug walk, flap your wings.
Do the ladybug walk, do anything.
And look around for another sign of spring.
Spring is here. Spring is here. How do you think I know?
I just saw a butterfly, that is how I know.
Spring is here. Spring is here. How do you think we know?
We just saw a butterfly, that is how we know.
Do the butterfly walk and strut your thing.
Do the butterfly walk, flap your wings.
Do the butterfly walk, do anything.
And look around for another sign of spring.
Spring is here. Spring is here. How do you think I know?
I just saw a frog, that is how I know.
Spring is here. Spring is here. How do you think we know?
We just saw a frog, that is how we know.
Do the frog jump and strut your thing.
Do the frog jump, badda bing.
Do the frog jump, do anything.
And look around for another sign of spring.
Wait! There’s some mosquitos!
Alright frogs, tongues out,
here we go. There’s another one.
Tongues out. ”
