El patio de mi casa es muy particular,The patio at my house is very special,cuando llueve se moja igual que los demás.when it rains, it gets wet just like all the others.
Agáchate, y vuélvete a agachar,Crouch down, and crouch down again,que las agachaditas no saben bailar.because the ones crouching down don’t know how to dance.
Hache, i, jota, ka, ele, elle, eme, a,H, I, J, K, L, LL, M, A,que si tú no me quieres otro amante me querrá.if you don’t love me, another sweetheart will.

How to play
- Make a circle holding hands and walk around as you sing.
- On «agáchate, y vuélvete a agachar» (“crouch down, and crouch down again”), everyone crouches down and stands back up.
- On «las agachaditas no saben bailar» (“the ones crouching down don’t know how to dance”), stay down for a moment, then get up dancing.
- On the letters «hache, i, jota, ka…» (H, I, J, K…), stop walking and clap once for each letter.
- Singing together:
- Let your child be the one who shouts «¡agáchate!» (“crouch down!”) while everyone follows.
- Good for practicing:
- Crouching and standing up, letters and playing in a group.
