We are dwelling in an era where “good enough” is not good enough. We need to be more competitive in order to stay ahead. Our children face a massive challenge to make themselves stand out among the highly scholarly crowd. If you are in America, it is crucial that you at least understand Spanish. In this post, we will highlight how you can help your child’s bilingualism (and yours) while getting the regular dose of physical activity in a commercial playground.

Counting in Spanish

This exercise is simple. Perform a simple warm up with your kids, but instead of counting in English
Uno (oo-no), Dos (dose), Tres (trace) (move to the left)
Cuatro (kwat-ro), Cinco (sink-o), Seis (saze) (move to the right)

Action Songs for Kids of All Age Groups

The hardest job for today’s parent is to keep kids fit despite of all the enticing distractions that make it impossible for children to leave the couch. So to help your kids get into action, I have dug up a few action songs that are perfect to get kids of any age into action for an intense physical workout. So put on your work out pants and get your kids out of bed and prepare for a bombastic work out.

Get Up! By Pam Minor

With this song, do a warm up routine. Jumping jacks are great for warm up, but you can use any routine to get the muscles to prepare for the exercise.

Wake up and stretch
Rub sleep from your eyes
Get out of bed
I’ve got a surprise
We’ve got to move
Our work’s cut out
No matter the weather
We’re gonna shout Hey
It’s time to make a bright new day

Hurry get dressed
Brush your hair too
Breakfast is ready
And so are you
We’ve got to move
Our work’s cut out
No matter the weather
We’re gonna shout Hey
It’s time to make a bright new day

Go brush your teeth
Grab books and lunch box
School bus is coming
This day really rocks
We’ve got to move
Our work’s cut out
No matter the weather
We’re gonna shout Hey
It’s time to make a bright new day
Hey it’s time to make a bright new day

Hi De Ho by Andrew Queen

This is a great song for aerobic exercise. If your kids are into water aerobics, then this is the best song out there. Simply encourage your kids to follow their usual exercise routine, but ask them to sing along and a clap at the end of every chorus to make things interesting. This will prove much better than the outdoor playground equipment activities.

Hi de, Hi de, Hi de ho
Wig-wig-wig-wig-waggedy wo
Bop she-bop she-bop she-bo
Reach up high and reach down low
Hi de, Hi de, Hi de hee
Wig-wig-wig-wig-waggedy wee
Bop she-bop she-bop she-bee
Flap your wings and shake your knees

Hi de, Hi de, Hi de hi
Wig-wig-wig-wig-waggedy why
Bop she-bop she-bop she-by
Wave your hands up to the sky

Instrumental – guitar solo

Hi de, Hi de, Hi de hay
Wig-wig-wig-wig-waggedy way
Bop she-bop she-bop she-bay
Twist your body in every way

Hi de, Hi de, Hi de how
Wig-wig-wig-wig-waggedy wow
Bop she-bop she-bop she-bow
That’s all folks now take a bow

Now Jump! by Wendy Rollin

With this song, simply encourage kids to act out the lyrics.
Put your hands together, make a happy sound
Open arms wide, then clap
Now Jump
Twisty jump, arms stretched wide, jump as you twist side to side

Wave your arms way up high
Lift arms high over head and swing side to side
Now Jump
Twisty jump, arms stretched wide, jump as you twist side to side

Can you swim in rhythm
With your arms, do a forward swimming motion, in rhythm with the music
Can you do it backward
With your arms, do a backward swimming motion, in rhythm with the music
Don’t stop
Don’t stop

Now stop
Stop, with your hands held out, palms out, like a policeman stopping traffic

Put your hands together, make a happy sound
Open arms wide, then clap
Now Jump
Twisty jump, arms stretched wide, jump as you twist side to sides
