Catherine's Open House

從第一次聽到，就很喜歡這首歌。
Raffi的創作曲，總是很純粹地，從孩子們的角度出發，聽得見溫暖與驚奇。


最近有一個班級，教學主題是Countries，孩子們在課本裡學習Japan, Spain, Mexico, the UK, Taiwan......等等國家。
我又找出這首Like Me and You，在這首歌裡，打算教孩子們更多國家名稱，還可以學到不同國家的孩子們的名字喔！

Lyrics:

Janet lives in England, Pierre lives in France,

Bonnie lives in Canada.

Ahmed lives in Egypt, Moshe lives in Israel,

Bruce lives in Australia.

Ching lives in China, Olga lives in Russia,

Ingrid lives in Germany.

Gita lives in India, Pablo lives in Spain,

Jose lives in Colombia.

(Chorus)

And each one is much like another,

a child of a mother and a father.

A very special son or daughter,

A lot like me and you.

Koji lives in Japan, Nina lives in Chile,

Farida lives in Pakistan.

Zosia lives in Poland, Manuel lives in Brazil,

Maria lives in Italy.

Kofi lives in Ghana, Rahim lives in Iran,

Rosa lives in Paraguay.

Meja lives in Kenya, Demetri lives in Greece,

Sue lives in America.
