My 1 1/2 year old son loves action songs and always tries to get me to sing them with him.
As I am the German half in the family though I prefer to sing him all the german songs I remember to reinforce the language. Unfortunatly none of the songs I know have actions with them :(

Does anyone of you know any fun german action songs?

Thanks!

Maybe you can find the actions for these on YouTube?

Thank you all!
I actually know most of these songs, but didn't realise there were actions for these Blush.

Heading to youtube now to get myself educated!

Kopf, Schultern, Knie, Zehen
Knie, Zehen .....

you can make them up as you go along as well and just invent some German lyrics for some catchy English ones.

Bruderchen komm tanz mit mir
beide Hande reich ich dir
einmal hin
einmal her
rundherum, es ist nicht schwer

Maybe there is a book/DVD with German action songs on amazon.de?

Zehn kleine Zappelmänner zappeln hin und her... finden's gar nicht schwer (Finger natürlich, zur 10 kleine Negerlein Melodie)
auf und nieder...tun das immer wieder, ringsherum... finden's gar nicht dumm, spielen gern Versteck... sind dann plötzlich weg, rufen laut hurrah... sind dann wieder da.
Meine Tochter schaut sich das gern an, aber zappelt noch nicht mit (18 Monate)

Zehn kleine Zappelmänner is great. Ikea sell sets of finger puppets which make it even more fun.

We know a nice song from our Krabbelgruppe:

Das ist gerade (arms held out straight to the side)
Und das ist schief (one arm up, other down)
Das ist hoch (hands up)
Und das ist tief (hands down)
Das ist dunkel (hands cover eyes)
Und das ist hell (take hands away)
Das ist langsam (walk slowly on the spot)
Und das ist schnell (run on spot)

You'll have to make up the melody unless you find it on Youtube.
