This week's song is a new version of a video I did a long time ago. It is a translation of the English song "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes". While I could have chosen to sing it with the German word "Zehe", I have found that a lot of other people sing it this way and I find that the word for foot is more helpful to learn than toe. If you haven't seen the song, you can see it below.
Obviously there are other body part words to be learned, but I have covered them in the post from a few weeks ago when I redid the Mr. Potato Head with the German Body Parts video and wrote a blog about it. You can see that here.
I thought it would be better if we talked about some verbs in this blog. Below I have a few example sentences that use German body part vocabulary with some verbs that you might need with each of the body parts.
