Additional Teaching Ideas:
1. For a fun activity, have students think of actions they can do to represent each family member (example: mother could be an action or rocking a baby. Grandfather could be an action of walking with a cane). When the students sing the song, they can act out each action. This gets especially fun at the end of the song when it goes very fast.
2. Pause the video in the middle and point to a family member. Have the students shout out who the family member is.
3. Pause the video in the middle and have a student go to the front of the class. Say a family member and have them point to the correct family member.
4. Have the students practice writing down the names of each family member five times.
