How old are you?

I'm 5 years old,
I'm 6 years old,
I'm 7 years old,
I'm 8 years old,
I'm 9 years old,
I'm 10 years old,
I'm 11 years old,
I'm 12.

I am 5! I am 6!
I am 7! I am 8!
I am 9! I am 10!
I am 11! I'm 12!

In the classroom or at home ........

The "How old are you?" song is the first song on the Genki English CD vol. II. It's also the most popular song amongst little kids, they seem to pick it up and sing along straight away!

With all the Genki English songs, it is better if the kids are moving!

On the first set of "I'm five years old" etc, the kids count on their fingers (see the mini lesson)

Then on the "I am 5!" part do a big "pose" or jump on the 5! The kids seem to like this!!!

Recommended Games:

How old are you? bingo!

( not your usual bingo!)

Mingle,
(super easy and very popular)




Picture Book


How old are you?



Worksheet:

Kids can design their own Genki Alien in the middle circle! Use the computer software, play the quiz and then colour in and write down the ages of each Genki Alien! Or you could get the kids to colour the aliens in different colours (or ages) and play a Bingo Game.


OK, I'm sure your kids will love the song!

be genki
