「兩週一聚: 小朋友」之【兒童歌曲(一)】/ 「Bi-weekly Series: Children」 - 【Songs for Infants, Toddlers, Preschoolers (1)】

「小朋友」是成人对兒童親切的稱呼,有點与這边的 "my little buddy"意思相似。由襁褓中的嬰兒,至牙牙學語的幼童,晃晃蕩蕩走路的小孩子, 或六歲以下的兒童,他/她們都会很喜欢看和聽音樂,而最好的方法就是由父母丶親人丶或媬姆面对面地做手勢和用表情來唱,一方面是有加强与兒童聯繫的紐帶(bonding),另一方面是倍養兒童对音樂的愛好,從而發揮他/她們內在的創做力和感情。

在此我提議,在小朋友六歲之前,我們是应該儘量少用电視机作為兒童由朝至晚的「电子麻醉藥」electronic tranquilizer 。適当的电視節目丶电子遊戲丶音樂磁碟等是很有用处的敎育器材,但可不能讓它們成為真人(父母丶親人丶同伴等)的代替物。

我以下選的兒童歌曲,都是很適合天真無邪的小朋友,歌詞和調子都很容易上手學。当然,唱的時候,兒童和成人都要一齊做手勢和作表情,否則就会減失那bonding 的作用和机会。

好了,我想介紹的是「Wheels on the Bus巴士歌」,您可看YouTube錄影片學習手勢和作表情:

Lyrics歌詞如下:

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round. The wheels on the bus go round and round, all through the town.

The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish; swish, swish, swish; swish, swish, swish. The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish, all through the town.

The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep; beep, beep, beep; beep, beep, beep. The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep, all through the town.

The money on the bus goes, clink, clink, clink; clink, clink, clink; clink, clink, clink. The money on the bus goes, clink, clink, clink, all through the town.

The driver on the bus says "Move on back, move on back, move on back;" The driver on the bus says "Move on back", all through the town.

The baby on the bus says "Wah, wah, wah; wah, wah, wah; wah, wah, wah". The baby on the bus says "Wah, wah, wah", all through the town.

The mommy on the bus says "Shush, shush, shush; shush, shush, shush; shush, shush, shush." The mommy on the bus says "Shush, shush, shush" all through the town.

If the kids are still in a mood, continue with:
The doors on the bus go open and shut ...
The bell on the bus goes ding-ding-ding ...
The lady on the bus says, "Get off my feet"...
The people on the bus say, "We had a nice ride"...
"Kid's name here" on the bus says, "Let Me Off!" ...

(Next下續: Lavender Blue薰衣草藍)

當然識唱啦. 這是一首清林好喜歡的歌仔喔!

清林都有看電視,每日看一隻 DVD, 例如是 Richard Scarry 或 Barney,其他就只看 news channel或 discovery channel. 一定唔睇 soap opera,太複雜了,佢問起我都唔知點解釋。

Chilli Mom: Oh, I love Richard Scarry, not quite as much with Barney. Discovery channel is good, as long as the kids don't get upset with the cute little monkey being gobbled up by predators (in reference to one of the Jon & Kate plus 8 shows). The same with news broadcast in which there are often scenes of carnage and violence. As to Soap Operas, I thought the storyline is always like this: The man cheats on the woman and the female character finds she is betrayed by her best friend, and then somebody else is betrayed, and when the contract for an actor/actress runs out, that character dies. No??

BTW, I assume you do know that the soap opera "The Young and the Restless" was made specifically for "The Aged and the Sleepless" (aka: parents with young kids). Haha !!!
