Here's a classic French song, Frere Jacques

Frère Jacques,
Frère Jacques,
Dormez-vous?
Dormez-vous?
Sonnez les matines,
Sonnez les matines,
Ding, dang, dong!
Ding, dang, dong!

And for something a bit Christmassy (if it's allowed), how about Feliz Navidad?
Jose Feliciano did a version some years ago.

Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Prospero año y Felicidad

I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart

Ooooh I loved doing my Resource File! :D

Here is a site, they are from WA but have some awesome resources on there.. Eccru (http://www.multicultural.online.wa.gov.au/eccru/)

I'm not sure what they've got there at the moment, but usually they've got some good stuff on there! :)

The beehive one is great for counting...

Here is the beehive but where are all the bees? (hold two fists together)

Hiding away where nobody sees (cover eyes)

Watch them come creeping out of their hive (wiggle fingers)

One two, three four five... bzzzzzzzzzzz


But do the counting in different languages!

We also do ciao bongiorno every morning with my babies, they love it!
