La vaca Lola
Lola, the cow with a head and a tail, goes for a walk in the meadow: a farm song to dance to, moving your head, your little tail and your feet.

Sing it with actions
- In the chorus, touch your head on «tiene cabeza» (“she has a head”), wiggle your little tail on «tiene cola» (“she has a tail”) and, on «y hace muuu» (“and she goes moo”), everybody moos like Lola!
- In the dance, do each move together: move your head («una, dos y tres», “one, two and three”), your little tail («otra vez, otra vez», “again, again”), a step forward and a step back, and clap.
- Then stomp hard counting from one to six: «Uno, dos» (“one, two”), «Tres, cuatro» (“three, four”), «Cinco, seis» (“five, six”).
- On «¿Quién está en la granja?» (“Who’s on the farm?”), answer «¡Lola!» together and moo, softly first and then louder and louder.
- Singing together:
- Pause before each «muuu» (“moo”) so your child can say it, a little louder each time.
- Good for practicing:
- Body parts (head and tail), animal sounds, counting from 1 to 6 and following directions.
