Ms. CAiro's Third Grade
This is a hand game we learned at our Waldorf Training in Kentucky this summer. It was definitely a staff favorite! I can't believe it took us until today to play with our children. I will list the words under the video in case it is hard to hear. BEWARE! THIS SONG WILL BE STUCK IN YOUR HEAD FOREVER! (The youtube video is unlisted on Youtube.com) I thought I heard an old man say, John Kanaka Naka too la ay.
Today, today is a sailing day, John Kanaka Naka too la ay. Too la ay oh too la ay, John Kanaka Naka too la ay. We're outward bound from 'Frisco Bay, John Kanaka Naka too la ay. We're outward bound at break of day, John Kanaka Naka too la ay Too la ay oh too la ah, John Kanaka Naka too la ay It's weevily meat and moldy bread, John Kanaka Naka too la ay It's two months out, you'd wish you're dead, John Kanaka Naka too la ay Too la ay oh too la ah, John Kanaka Naka too la ay

Haha! I was giggling while they were playing! I'm so glad they enjoyed the game. I knew they'd be sharing it at home (it's such a catchy tune) so I wanted to share the words. So glad he enjoyed it!!

I love this-- I see so many math and literacy concepts embedded--what a joyful way to learn.
