If you are happy | Puzzle | Super Simple Songs

Question: Why don't you sing "If you are happy and you know it, clap your hands," Answer: The original version of this song can be a bit difficult for the youngest students. If you pay a visit to a nursery, preschool, or kids ESL/EFL classroom, you will often hear some children sing something like: If you're happy (mumble, mumble, mumble) clap your hands! If you're happy (mumble, mumble, mumble) clap your hands! If you're happy (mumble, mumble, mumble), (mumbles, mumbles, mumbles) If you're happy (mumble, mumble, mumble) clap your hands! The pace is often too fast and phrases like "and you know it" and "then your face will surely show it" are not easy for young children to sing or understand through gestures and expressions. Since we like to use this song to teach emotions, we've slowed it down a bit and simplified the lyrics to just the emotions and body language that expresses those emotions. This version allows even very young children to sing all the letters and represent them with gestures. #ducklinglu
