This song is about a **mouse** which is hiding under Martin's button on his shirt! It is a traditional song and whilst doesn't teach any particular vocabulary, it is good for emphasising Spanish **phonemes** and **rhyming words**.

El Corro Chirimbolo(track 3 and 4)
This song is about a choir that helps children learn **parts of the body**. Children find it quite amusing as it mentions 'culo' (bum) which is considered a little taboo! It mentions the words: un pie (foot) Una mano (hand) Un codo (elbow) la nariz (nose) el gorro (cap) una oreja (an ear) el culo (bum)

Tengo dos ojos (track 5 and 6)


This song is about **facial features**. It uses onamatapoeia to describe the sound of speaking. The following vocabulary is useful: tengo - I have ojos - eyes orejas - ears boca - mouth dientes - teeth masticar - chew lengua - tongue hablar - to speak

===**Mi Barba tiene tres pelos (Track 7 and 8) **=== (My beard has three hairs). This is a fun song where the children substitute the words for actions or sounds.

Los elefantes
This song is about some elephants that sucessfully balance on a spider's web. It highlights the use of **numbers**.
