بابا جاي امتى (When Will Father Come?)

Babies love being face to face. Sit them on your knee and bounce them gently up and down. This is a great way for them to feel the beat.

Share this song by incorporating simple actions to match the lyric, e.g. pointing to your wrist to indicate the time, marching or pretending to hold handle bars of a bike and waving or saluting at the end.

This song offers itself to a circle game where we change the character of dad to incorporate the children’s names. Encourage the children to sit in a circle and ask one child to move around the circle as you sing the song before stopping in front of a friend and waving or saluting. That child will now take a turn in the circle and the other child will join the others in the circle.
