69. Onder moeders paraplu O The words of this song
were written in 1910 by Anna Sutorius and the music
is by Johannes Petrus Wierts
and now has been translated into English by Dany Rosevear. It is an easy song to
mime walking around the classroom with a partner. |
Onder moeders paraplu, Liepen eens twee kindjes. Hanneke en Janneke, Dat waren dikke vrindjes. En hun klompjes gingen klik, klak, klik, En de regen deed van tik, tak, tik, Op moeders paraplu, Op moeders paraplu. Under
mother’s umbrella, Walked two
little children. Hanneka and Janneka, They were
the best of friends then. And their
wooden shoes went a-clip, clip, clop, And the
rain was tapping with drip, drip, drop, On
mother’s umbrella, On mothers
umbrella. Die joeg eerst heel zoetjes. Toen al hard en harder maar, De regen in hun snoetjes. En Jan de Wind, die rukte
en trok, En op en neder ging de stok, Van moeders paraplu, Van moeders paraplu. Then came John the Wind so chill, First he
blew soft breezes, As he chased them harder still, The rain got in their noses. And then John the Wind he tugged and pulled, And then up and down went the stick I’m told, Of mother’s umbrella, Of mother’s
umbrella. |
Maar Hanneke en Janneke, Dat waren flinke klantjes! Ze hielden stijf de paraplu, In allebei hun handjes. En ze lachten blij van hi, ha, hi! En ze
riepen: Jan, jij krijgt hem nie! 't Is moeders paraplu, 't Is moeders paraplu! But Hanneka and Janneka, Were two
sturdy children! They
tightly held that umbrella, That both
their hands were gripping. And they
laughed and chuckled with a ha, ha, ho! And cried:
Jan you’ll never get it, oh no, no! It’s
mother’s umbrella, It’s
mother’s umbrella! |
70. Het regent, het regent O Put on your wellies and
waterproofs, go outside and enjoy playing this game in the rain. Or just sing
it stamping through puddles. It’s easy to slip in wet weather so use this as
an excuse to learn how to fall safely. All sorts of people come
a cropper in the rain; children, nurses, teachers - children are sure to be
able to think of more. Listen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5zVKRKCWxc |
Het regent, het regent, De pannetjes worden nat. Daar kwamen twee boerinnetjes
aan, Die vielen op gat. It's
raining, it's raining, The
rooftops are wet as well. There came
two farmers walking along, WHOOPS! - on their bottoms fell! Another Dutch song with the same tune: Marijke, Marijke wat kost er je groene
thee, Ik heb er van zes, van acht, van tien, van twaalf kan ik je ook laten zien, Marijke, Marijke wat kost er je groene
thee. Marika, Marika,
how much is your green tea? I have six, eight, ten, twelve, I can also show you what costs there, Marijke, Marijke
your green tea. |
Hold hands and walk round. Drop hands and fall down. |
71. Parapluutje,
parasolletje O Find out the difference between an umbrella and a
parasol. Listen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71dVPS-_xF4 Half the group stand in spaces around the room;
the other half holds an umbrella. A hoop (puddle) may be used to define where each
child stands before swapping places by children jumping in or out of the hoop
depending on their position on the word ‘Pardon!’ |
Parapluutje, parasolletje, Eentje voor de regen, De ander voor de zon, Pardon! An
umbrella, or a parasol, One is for
the rain, And the
other for the sun. Pardon!
|
The children with an umbrella run in and out of
the others. On ‘Pardon!’ they stop in front of a child and hand over the
umbrella. The game continues with these new children now
hopping round the room. Each time a different movement is suggested by
the leader e.g. skipping, jumping, tip toeing etc. |
72. Het regent op de brug O ‘On the bridge it’s raining’ but if you’re there
to enjoy yourself you won’t notice the rain. Watch at:http ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIk6ncuYaWQ&feature=relatedListen

Children
stand in a circle with hands held up to make a bridge. |
Through
the puddles; splish, splash, splosh, Socks
and trousers soaked, oh gosh! |
This
is the Dutch version of ‘Incy Wincy
spider’. |
