Here are the lyrics to I Can Walk: Walk, walk I can walk Walk, walk I can walk Walk, walk I can walk Like a dog. Jump, jump I can jump Jump, jump I can jump Jump, jump I can jump Like a frog. Mommy, Mommy watch me Daddy, Daddy watch me Swim, swim I can swim Swim, swim I can swim Swim, swim I can swim Like a fish Fly, fly I can fly Fly, fly I can fly Fly, fly I can fly Like a bird Mommy, Mommy watch me Daddy, Daddy watch me I recommend teaching the actions/verbs using the flashcards at www.mes-english.com Click here to go to the verbs page at MES English. This
song is really easy to teach, and a lot of fun for kids. I start
out by doing the actions, and then teaching the kids the English.
For example, I start jumping and ask the kids to start jumping.
The first step is to teach the kids the word “jump”.
Next, I teach the students the phrase “ I can ___”.
As always, be sure to check the meaning in the students native language.
Then we put the whole sentence together, “ I can jump”.
The Mommy, Mommy watch me part, is just for fun. I have the kids point to themselves and make a cute or funny face while they sing. It is like they are trying to get their parents attention! While we sing the song, we do the actions for: walk, jump, swim, and fly. Sometimes I ask the students to walk in a circle and do the actions, or just standing in place. If there are parents in the class, get them involved as well. Game:
Ask the kids, “What can you do?” They should answer,
“I can jump!” If you have flashcards for the actions,
have the kids take turns picking a random flashcard and doing the
action. Have the other students ask “What can you do?”
The student who picked the flashcard answers " I can jump!" and
does the action.
