Our children all learn French, Mandarin and Dutch.  A few weeks ago, while the family were were sitting around our kitchen table having lunch, one of them started randomly humming a little tune while we were eating. It was the tune to the Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.

Miss 5 proceeded to sing the song in French

La tête, les épaules et les genoux, les doigts de pieds
La tête, les épaules et les genoux, les doigts de pieds
Les yeux, le nez, la bouche et les oreilles
La tête, les épaules  et les genoux, les doigts de pied

Watch a French for Kids club in action singing Head, shoulders, knees and toes

Miss 7 joined in and there was a chorus as little Mr 3 started with the actions and a few of the words that he could remember.

“No,no,no!” Miss 7 suddenly says. Let’s do it in Chinese and the three of them launched into the song in Mandarin!
