Tips for Singing at Home
- Use hand motions. Make baby, mommy, daddy, grandpa, grandma, uncle, and auntie shark motions with your hands as you sing.
- Practice family words. Pause on each family member and have your child repeat: mẹ, cha, ông, bà, chú, and cô.
- Make it active. Pretend to swim around the room during Cả nhà bơi to connect movement with meaning.
- Start with one verse. If the full song feels long, begin with Cá mập con and add more family members over time.
- Sing with different voices. Use a tiny voice for cá mập con, a big voice for cá mập cha, and a gentle voice for cá mập bà to keep it playful.
