So as you just heard, we're going to sing some songs ad learn some rhymes from allr East Asia.
But I'd like to kick it off first with a song that I we in English that's called Brilliant New Idea.
And I like to kick off wite song because the song is al about how songs and storien take us on a journey all ad the world.
So if for any reason we're stuck somewhere and we're d that we're stuck, you can always turn to a song or sy to journey to a new place d that's the song is about ad you can sing along to the g also by just knowing the wd oh.
Can you say that, Senya?
Oh yes.
Perfect.
And it sounds like this ine song goes Macungie.
Can you share that with me?
Sure.
All right.
Luzerne Oh.
You all right?
I hope you're doing that at home.
And one other thing to know about the song.
The chorus.
I mean, teach the chorus in some hand motion so the chs just says I've got this brilliant new idea.
So you're pointing to youra in your head and it could e us to a world so carefree.
Let us wander far and neard sing these songs and storis and then you can reach outd grab the hand of somebody t you're with and just dance around while Sonia plays te kazoo.
All right.
All right.
So we got that all right.
And we got the news.

So yeah, that was Sol Nal Santurce on the kazoo.
All right.
I've never played this much kazoo in my life.
This is a lot of very exci.
If you have a good home, fl free to take out.
Yeah.
Everyone get your kazoos ot because we're going to feae them more kazoo on this net song.
So we're going to go now on this journey.
And first we're going to go Taiwan and we're going to g a song in Taiwanese.
And it is one of my favorie kinds of songs.
It is a train song and what I've learned from playing c from all over the world ist everybody likes to sing abt trains.
What's not to love about trains.
And what I also love aboute song is that it's a very, y easy song.
So we are going to learn a rhyme basically.
And the rhyme is very simp.
I'm going to teach it to yu first before we sing it together.
So in English this is all e song is saying here it is a train is chug chugging inta tunnel where the water dris down makes a sound like a , sound like a coin when it s up and drops to the floor.
So that is the entire songt we're going to sing here.
And it's just about this tn that's going into a tunneld water drips down and the sd the water makes is do you ?
So I have a really good idf how to sing along the song, which is to try to catch ts disease and you can also ue your arms and throw them un the air when you hear do yu like this makes a sound lia dude.
You Perkasie act and I'm gg to just say it for you oncd Taiwanese because it sounds very, very cool.
So this is the same song, e rhyme goes like this.
Wait Chun yaama amah ito dI boom Kyung Lehigh boom Kono ito do do you think I migho I itogi Lola.
I just love that rhyme so s you can hear you'll hear te details again.
So goes boom Kong etecsa io dd you all right get it.
All right it's train go fat enough the train is going o start off kind of on slow t it'll go a lot faster so se your energy and see if youn catch it is OK and let's jt do this rhyme a couple of s and if you don't know whato do, I think you could just dance like a train.
You do your favorite kind f train dance and try to cath the ideas ready for the thd year.

We're just going to go rigt along to another place in e world and we're going to sg another one of my favorite kinds of songs, which is ap roping song.
So you'd like to jump rope?
I love to jump rope.
Me too.
Do you have a jump rope wih you?
I have my imaginary jump r, yes.
Oh, can we use the room.
I think we can use our imagination.
OK, but you might be at hoe and you might have a real p rope so why don't you run forget your real jump rope while I switch instrumentsl fast.
All right.
I'm going to switch instrus to and you see that Sony is going to play an instrument that looks kind of like the instrument I was playing, t it's bigger.
And Sony, what does that cd this one is called Hatano.
It's a Mexican traditional guitar from the state of Veracruz in Mexico.
And if you saw this show yesterday, you heard it anu saw it.
Yes, I learned about the ja from playing music with Soa from Mexico.
And I fell in love with ito much that I just played on Taiwanese train songs too.
Why not?
Why not?
So this is the song in the Tibetan language which is e really beautiful and fun language to learn how to s, which Sonia has learned hoo sing a whole song in Tibetn with me and it's called Sii Sima, which means gentle, e the breeze and like other unproper songs.
There are things that tellu what to do while you're jup roping in the song.
So if you hear me say the words, if you hear me say Coaldale Coyula yeah.
Now you could seek a tragic that all means you turn ina circle to the right while u are jumping.
Yeah, there you go.
And then the next line is Kornienko you.
Yeah.
Now you could see tragic.
What do you think that mea.
Left turn right you turn ie circle to the left while ye jumping and after that coma really fun Tibetan rhyme wh sounds like this.
It goes Summer Jam Sikhism Antigo, the gold nugget ea, the cool language to try tt with me.
Sure.
Summer Jam is multikulti gu legal.
Yeah.
Look like that amazing.
So that's really fun and ay easy way to dance to the sg is to jump rope.
I mean any kind of jump rog you want to do a double Duh by yourself and at one poin the song I'm just going tok you maybe to stop jumping d clap this because it's reay fun to clap along to this .
So play my violin.
This is my violin for this song.
So this is called this is called Sisi Sima.
So we do that.
Oh, but we can hear the sos and see we got to hear the sound of the jump rope hitg ground there it is.

We're going to go now to J, the island of Japan, and sa fun song in Japanese and is another one of my favorite kinds of songs which I cala nonsense song.

And it's called Zui Zui Zukkorobashi.
Can you see that with me, Thania?
Sure.
Zulay Zui Zui Zukkorobashis pretty fun to say.
Yeah.
So somewhere in the song ae bowl is broken and a mothes calling out and a father's calling out and nobody knos who broke the rice bowl and that at some point a mouses through the room and it gos choo choo choo choo.
So, you know, draw your own conclusions about the rice bowl.
But the other fun thing abt the song is that it accomps a fun hand game that kids n play while singing this rh.
And we made up another gamr it.
That's a handclapping game.
So why don't you find a par right now that you can do a handclapping game with whiI switch my instrument back?

So I'm going to teach you s rhyme first and I'm going o show you how the handclappg game works.
So you're going to face yor partner Mark Knouse facing Sonia and you're going to p once like this and then yoe going to slap the hand of r partner.
The opposite side.
