Such talent! Who knew😊
After all that the client decided titles and rhymes should be left in English... not sure I agree. The poor kids will be quite confused. Will be learning Ponglish instead...

Bippity Boppity Bumble Bee
Objective: To practice listening to syllables

You can start with clapping out names, first. As students get used to the game, you can start using words with more syllables.

Sit in a circle with your students. Use a little stuffed bee or a printed bumble bee. The teacher begins the chant and walks around to a child.

Teacher: “Bippity Boppity Bumble Bee, Will You Say Your Name For Me?”

The child responds, “Jennifer.”

Teacher: “Let’s all say it.” And the class says her name out loud, while clapping once for each syllable.

Teacher: “Let’s all whisper it.” And the class whispers her name, while quiet-clapping the syllables again, once per syllable.

Teacher: “Silent” and the class mouths her name, while quiet-clapping the syllables again, once per syllable.

Teacher and class: “Bippity Boppity Bumble Bee, Thank You For Saying Your Name For Me!”

Repeat with another student and his/her name. As students become familiar with the game, you can allow students to take on the “teacher” role.

Mariusz, nie. chodzi o to, by wyklaskiwać sylaby w imieniu.

Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Feb 14, 2019:

Clapping is for rhythm in syllabizing the child's name: (clap) Jo (clap) an (clap) na, so the alliteration is irrelevant. It might as well be "koci, koci, łapci," but then we need a rhyme at the end. Put your poet's cap on.
