One of the essential formulas for children to become familiar with a new language is the songs. What you learn by singing is rarely forgotten. As much as the children do not pronounce each word perfectly, the music helps them to assimilate the phonetics.
Looking for the lyrics of Humpty Dumpty (the little egg that falls from the wall) at the request of my oldest daughter I found some videos of children's songs in English for children that I want to share with you so that you put them and sing with your children.
I leave you below with a selection of 6 classic songs in English for children. I have posted the video and the lyrics of the song to refresh their memory. Enjoy them!
