[HANASHIR:10597] Re: Teaching Hebrew through songs

[Jennifer Stevens <srtalina...>]

There's always the standard Debbie Friedman Alef Bet Song where the children 
can repeat the letters back to you.  I don't have the music, but I know it's 
easy to come by -- see Tara Publications or any local Judaica store.  Kids 
seem to like the participatory nature of the song and the melody is really 
pretty simple.

As for Hebrew vocabulary, I seem to have an inkling of a song involving body 
parts (a la Head Shoulders Toes, etc.) using Hebrew words.  Anyone remember 
that?
