"Un éléphant" was introduced to French Dual-Language Kindergarten students in the beginning on the year. Not only is fun to sing, it helps us remember our numbers in French as well! To listen to an mp3 recording of this song (the lyrics are a bit different, but hopefully the melody will help) click here.
Un éléphant se balançait
Sur une toile, toile, toile
Toile d’araignée
Il a trouvé ce jeu
Tellement amusant
Que bientôt
Que bientôt
Deux éléphants se balançaient
Sur une toile, toile, toile,
Toile d’araignée
Ils ont trouvé ce jeu
Tellement amusant
Que bientôt
Que bientôt
(and continue counting!)
(et continuez de compter!)
Hi--This song is adorable. Why don't you post an audio (or video) clip of YOUR kids singing it? I'd love to hear some American kids singing in French...
