Testa, Spalle, Ginocchi, Pedi! Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes!


We have been inspired by our quadblogging buddies in New Zealand. They sent us a video of their Maori body parts song (see below).

At St. Luke's we learn Italian, so today our Italian teacher, Signora Senzo, helped Prep S and Prep K sing 'Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes' in italian!

Here are the words:

Testa, spalle, ginocchi piedi, ginocchi piedi.
Testa, spalle, ginocchi piedi, ginocchi piedi.

Ho due occhi, un naso, la bocca, e due orecchi.
Testa, spalle, ginocchi piedi, ginocchi piedi.

Testa, spalle, ginocchi piedi, ginocchi piedi.
Testa, spalle, ginocchi piedi, ginocchi piedi.
Ho due occhi, un naso, la bocca, e due orecchi.
Testa, spalle, ginocchi piedi, ginocchi piedi.


Can you work out what the words mean by following the actions of the song?

  1. Well done Blackburn South Preps.

    Hai cantato "Testa, spalle, ginocchia, piedi, ginocchia, piedi" molto bene.

    I was impressed with how well you sang. Learning another language is a great experience. Learning how to sing in another language adds to the fun.
