[HANASHIR:14409] Re: A slightly different question

[Freedabet <Freedabet...>]

I would pick a number of  'Hebrew' songs that incorporate the English 
translation in the song.  Zalmen Mlotek has very cleverly done this with 
Yiddish in 
his "Kids 'n Yiddish" Show/CD and it's terrific.  

Also, pick Hebrew songs that don't have lots of words.  Kids will try to sing 
them, but will invariably get the words wrong or just 'mush' through them 
unless you teach them correctly or pass out a lyric sheet.
