Sing it with actions
- On «pío, pío, pío», open and close your fingers like a little beak.
- On «hambre» (“hungry”), pat your tummy; on «frío» (“cold”), hug yourself and shiver.
- The hen «busca el maíz y el trigo» (“looks for corn and wheat”): peck the floor with your hand. On «les presta abrigo» (“keeps them warm”), open your arms like wings.
- At the end, «duermen calentitos» (“they sleep snug and warm”): put your hands together under your cheek and close your eyes.
- Singing together:
- Sing «los pollitos dicen…» and wait: let your child say «pío, pío, pío».
- Good for practicing:
- First sounds and words, farm animals and gestures.
