How Old Are You
How old are you? x2
I’m 5 years old, I’m 6 years old
5 years forward, 6 years forward
5 years backward, 6 years backward
I’m 5 years old, I’m 6 years old
A doo doo doo, a daa daa daa
5 years old, 6 years old x4
How Old Are You? x2
I’m 5 years old
I’m 6 years old
…oh man it’s total gridlock…

Notes: In the tradition of “1 little, 2 little...” this song can be used with any word you wish to teach. The trick is singing to the beats - listen to the triangle! The song gets harder and harder to sing as the repetitions increase. Hilarious fun!
