Camp Songs!

So, I mentioned the class before I was going to teach them a camp song next class, and that was me with a lot of grumblings...once they all understood me.

"Whatttt? Noooooo!"

I insisted it would be fun. So I didn't back down from my promise. Once the days lesson was completed I say stand up....and thats mixed with puzzlement. Why did I want all 6 of them to stand up?

I explained I was going to teach them a camp song. That made them want to stand up less. I insisted it would be fun and had one girl half way standing and then sitting when she realized no one else was. I finally gave up and was like ok, you can sing and do the actions sitting down...someone spoke Korean and they all slowly stood. It was cute.

So I start with the actions I kind of know...The princess Pat...and am repeated. They kind of laugh that I'm going full out on these actions and they are probably aware that at times I forgot the proper actions.

"Yay thats the princess pat"
"Yay thats the princess pat"

"The songs over now"
"The Songs over now"

"You can sit down"
"You can sit down"

"You can stop repeating me now"
"You can stop repeating me now (giggles)"

"No really, the songs over"
"No really the songs over"

"What did you think of it"
"what did you think of it"

"Did you like it"
"did you like it"

"was it fun"
"was it fun"

"Yes?"
"Yes?"

"no?"
"no"

"Supercalafragalisticexpealidotious...haha!"
"(look of puzzlement).....haha!"

And it went on like that for a good while before I decided I might as well sing another song. So I sang the other day I met a bear song...until I didn't know anymore lyrics. Then I tried to get them to stop repeating me again until the bell rang.

So as you can see I have a class full of comedians. All 6 of them were repeating me...it wasn't just one or two smart asses. Very cute too. I'm sure I could have got them to stop if I used my "Teacher" voice, but I didn't know what to do the rest of class anyways...and they were speaking English even if it was repeating everything I said.

Once the bell rang and they all said bye I asked a couple as they left if the song was fun and they both said yes....so the next class I had with them we sang Tarzan...and I think I'll teach them the great big moose song next.
