Clapping Game For Babies
Clapping Game For Babies
(Czech)
(English)
Kovej, kovej, kováříčku
okovej mi mou nožičku,
okovej mi obě,
zaplatím já tobě :
na svatého Víta
dám ti pytel žita,
na svatého Vavřince
dám ti pytel pšenice,
na svatého Martina
dám ti pytel ječmena
a na svatou Barboru
dám ti pytel bramborů.
Smite, smite, smith,
Put a horseshoe on my foot.
Put horseshoes on both of my feet
And I'll pay you well:
On the Saint Vitus' day
I'll give you a sack of rye,
On the Saint Lawrence's day
I'll give you a sack of wheat,
On the Saint Martin's day
I'll give you a sack of barley,
And on the Saint Barbara's day
I'll give you a sack of potatoes.
Game Instructions
Actions: Sit the baby on your lap and with your fist gently 'hammer' at the bottom of the baby's foot, as if putting a horseshoe on a horse. Repeat the action on the other foot.
