Russian songs for children

English and Russian version of this song for kids, I am considering putting some of these songs to an audio format. Crocodiles are large and concrete. Songs and music are a great way to learn a language. Even I listen to BabyTV songs in other languages.

Kids like Crocodiles like dinosaurs because they are real. Kids do not understand abstract things, that is the world of adults. I teach languages and I know that kids like nouns and real things, and adults like to talk politics and philosophy. They would rather look at a Green over-sized reptile any day than talk about abstract things like economics.

Kids like alligators and crocodiles because they are a very vivid green.  My daughter does not like these in between shades of I do not know what color it is. alligators are green its clear. Green is green.

The Crocodile song for children

This song is short, it is not suppose to be a long verse, just simply repeated.

Шел крокодил
The crocodile was crawling along,
He was smoking a long pipe,

As he was crawling a long and along with his long pipe.
The long pipe fell on the ground
and ….:

крокодил
Трубку курил
Трубка упала
И написала:

Шел крокодил,
Трубку курил,
Трубкаупала
и написала…

And he went on and on

crawling along

without his long pipe

.
It is a good song when you want to make your child tired, maybe because it is a little boring.

Try to add some more meat to the song by making up more adventures with the Crocodile.

My child is listening to children’s songs all the time as I think there is a connection between music and learning and the brain.
