TitleSpanish Jazz Chant: Breakfast
Body
Chant the words while snapping your fingers to keep a beat. I have marked in CAPS when to snap…

POR la manAna AL desayUno,
YO tengo HAMbre. YO tengo SED.
QUIEro comER. QUIEro bebER.
COmo cereAL. CereAL con LEche. CereAL con FRUtas.
QUÉ RIco!

Here are the words (with the accompanying gestures I use):

Por la manana, al desayuno,
Yo tengo hambre (hold stomach). Yo tengo sed (hold throat).
Quiero comer (show hand feeding mouth). Quiero beber (show hand pouring something into mouth).
Como cereal (one hand holding bowl, the other spooning a bite to mouth).
Cereal con leche (one hand pouring milk into bowl).
Cereal con frutas (both hands dropping fruit into bowl).
Qué rico (pat stomach)!
Me gustan los huevos. Huevos fritos (show one hand with palm down and then flip it over).
Huevos revueltos (show one hand wisking or stirring).
Qué rico (pat stomach)!
Me gustan las tostadas (show one hand holding a piece of bread).
Tostada con mantequilla (show one hand spreading butter on bread).
Mantequilla y mermelada (continue spreading motion).
Qué rico (pat stomach)!
