“PROMENONS NOUS DANS LES BOIS”

Here comes the wolf! In this traditional French song and game, kids are going for a walk in the woods, but they have to be careful. If The Wolf is in the woods, he’ll eat them. So, kids cautiously take turns asking The Wolf what he’s doing to make sure they’ll be safe.   As long as the The Wolf is putting on a piece of clothing, they’re safe. But when The Wolf is done, it’s time to run! Children thrill with anticipation after each question as they wonder if they can stay or have to scamper away.   This fun, participatory song teaches children the French words for different items of clothing. The song is from Whistlefritz’s CD CHA, CHA, CHA — French Learning Songs.

Promenons-nous dans les bois
Pendant que le loup n’y est pas
Si le loup y était
Il nous mangerait
Mais comme il n’y est pas
Il (ne) nous mangera pas
Loup y es-tu ? M’entends-tu ? Que fais-tu ?

Je mets mes chaussettes.

Refrain

Je mets mon platalon.

Refrain

Je mets ma chemise.

Refrain

Je mets mes chaussures.

Refrain

Je mets mon chapeau.

Refrain

Me voilà, me voilà !
