Che Che Kule

What: Active Song, Concept Song

Why: The lyrics and corresponding actions of this song teach body awareness and identification.

The "call and response" or "echo" structure encourages listening and responding, and, on a more sophisticated level, ear training through pitch matching.

This West African version of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" exposes children to the language of another culture and mastering the lyrics will help a child's memorization and oral motor skill development.

Try starting the song slowly and speeding up gradually over several repetitions. This will challenge a child's oral motor skills, quick-thinking skills and balance!

How:



Che Che Kule (Hands on your head)
Che Che Kofisa (Hands on your shoulders)
Kofisa Langa (Hands on your waist)
Langa tilanga (Hands on your knees)
Kum Aden Nde (Hands on your ankles)
Hey!
