Twinkle, twinkle little star

This is a bedtime song published by the British Council that can be sung when putting children to sleep or simply when spending time with them. Little babies love lullabies and nursery rhymes like this one.

As you know print here the lyrics.

I hope you enjoy it.

If you are happy and you know it

This is another song: If you are happy and you know it to practise actions and daily routines with the children.

Do the actions and sing along with your children.As you know you can print the lyrics here
Adapt the song by changing the lyrics depending on what your child is doing or how they’re feeling. For example, ‘If you’re hungry and you know it, eat a pear’, ‘If you’re dirty and you know it, have a bath’, ‘If you’re tired and you know it, go to bed’ etc. By incorporating the song into their daily routines around the house you will personalise it and make it more memorable. As you introduce new adjectives, act them out so the meaning is clear.
