Instructional Ideas

• Bring in 10 potatoes to hold and count as the song plays 
• Before starting instruction, play the video to grab learners' attention 
• When pupils seem unfocused, watch the music video, dance, and sing along to refresh bodies and minds 

Classroom Considerations

• An ad appears when the link first opens 

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros
