I have written this song for my ESL lessons to teach basic actions to children. The song is very simple so I use it to teach English to preschoolers and elementary school kids. Your children not only can learn the English modal verb “can” with this song but also some everyday actions such as “run”, “walk”, “sleep” etc. This song can be used to introduce English animals such as giraffe, bird, snake, whale etc.
It will be more fun if a teacher can invent activities in the classroom to repeat the actions in the song lyrics. Children can run, walk and crawl while singing the song. In such a way they are more likely to remember the song vocabulary and get effectively trained to use the verb “can”. So I hope educators and parents as well as their kids will have fun using my song for teaching English as a second language.
You can find the “I Can“ song lyrics along with flash cards and worksheets based on this video on my ESL blog at
Lyrics:
Yes, I can, I can.
Yes, I can.
Yes, I can, I can.
Yes, I can.
I can jump, jump, jump like a kangaroo.
I can swim, swim, swim like a whale, too.
I can walk, walk, walk like a tall giraffe,
And like an ostrich I can run.
Yes, I can, I can.
Yes, I can.
Yes, I can, I can.
Yes, I can.
I can crawl, crawl, crawl like a jungle snake,
I can sleep, sleep, sleep like a sloth all day,
I can fly, fly, fly like a bird in the sky,
And like a monkey I can climb.
Yes, I can, I can.
Yes, I can.
Yes, I can, I can.
Yes, I can.
