Parts of the Body
Don’t giggle! This traditional French folksong is a fun musical game that begins with two kids holding each other’s goatees and staring at each other. The first one to laugh loses. Laughter is infectious as the players hold different parts of each other’s faces while trying to coax their partner into a smile or giggle. The song is from Whistlefritz’s CD ALLONS DANSER!

Je te tiens, tu me tiens, par la barbichette.
Le premier qui rira aura une tapette.
Un, deux, trois, croisons les bras.
Aïe, aïe, aïe, ouille, ouille, ouille!
Je te tiens, tu me tiens par le p’tit bout du nez.
Le premier qui rira sera chatouillé.
Un, deux, trois, croisons les bras.
Guili, guili, guili!
Je te tiens, tu me tiens par les deux oreilles.
Le premier qui rira va tomber de sommeil.
Un, deux, trois, croisons les bras.
Bonne nuit!
Je te tiens, tu me tiens, on se tient les deux joues.
Le premier qui rira…n’aura rien du tout!
Un, deux, trois, croisons les bras.
Rien du tout! Ouf!
Je te tiens, tu me tiens, par la pointe des cheveux.
Le premier qui rira a perdu le jeu.
Un, deux, trois, croisons les bras.
J’ai gagné! J’ai perdu au jeu de la barbichette.
This fun, whimsical song by French composer, Didier Prossaird, features a festive dancing frog named Reinette. Children happily imitate the movements of Reinette, learning parts of the body and action words along the way. The song is from Whistlefritz’s CD ALLONS DANSER!

Les sept jours de la semaine sont sept jours
pour m’amuser.
Sept jours pour aller jouer avec mes amis.
Lundi, je mets les bras en l’air

On va chanter! (Let’s sing!) On va danser! (Let’s dance!) On va jouer! (Let’s play!) This interactive French immersion program is non-stop language-learning fun from Whistlefritz, the producers of the award-winning French for Kids and Spanish for Kids series.
With the help of Fritzi the mouse and a playful group of peers, Marie introduces vocabulary related to different parts of the body. And what better way to get those body parts moving than with delightful sing-along, dance-along songs, including “Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” and familiar French folksongs with exciting new twists. From le chapeau (the hat) to la chaussure (the shoe), kids will love trying on their new French vocabulary for clothes in playful, interactive skits. ON VA JOUER entertainingly combines colorful illustrated backgrounds, live- action, and 2-D and 3-D animation. Friendly characters and abundant humor make learning a new language as much fun as play time. Vous êtes prêts? (Are you ready?) On va jouer!
This video includes an easy-to-use translation guide for parents and teachers who are first time learners of French, as well as French and English subtitles. Designed for children ages 1-7, ON VA JOUER is fun for all ages!

“À tes souhaits” is how you say “bless you” in French. This funny scene from Whistlefritz’s video ON VA JOUER (Let’s Play) teaches kids the French expression for “bless you” as well as teaching different parts of the face through a hilarious skit involving a tissue. Kids will enjoy watching these scenes as much as our kids clearly enjoyed filming them!

In this fun and interactive traditional French children’s song, kids make different motions with their hands and arms. They clap their hands; they spin them like a windwill; they move them like a fish; they fly like a bird. The motions start out slowly, but get faster and faster until they are comically quick. The song is a great way to involve gross motor skills in the process of learning French. The song “TAPENT, TAPENT PETITES MAINS” is from Whistlefritz’s CD CHA, CHA, CHA — French Learning Songs.
