Kwanzaa
From the CD, Seasonal Songs in Motion
by The Learning Station
℗©Monopoli/The Learning Station
Lyrics:
“To celebrate Kwanzaa, we are going to learn together some words in Swahili and we’re going
to teach you the movements that go along with them, so follow the beat, clap along and follow our directions.”
Everybody say, Kwanzaa, Umoja, Nee-a, Emonee. Say, Kwanzaa, Umoja, Nee-a, Emonee.
“Alright, now clap along. We’re going to tell you a little bit about Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa is celebrated from December 26th through January 1st and it celebrates the end of a harvest season and the beginning of a brand new planting season.
Here we go. “Everybody say, Kwanzaa, Umoja, Nee-a, Emonee. Say, Kwanzaa, Umoja, Nee-a, Emonee.
” Alright, now we’re going to tell you what those words mean in Swahili. Kwanzaa means first, that’s why we’re holding up one finger on each hand when we do the movement. Umoja means unity, all of us being here together, sharing and caring for the holidays. Nee-a means purpose and Emonee means faith that we’ll have another wonderful harvest and planting season.
Here we go.” Everybody say, Kwanzaa, Umoja, Nee-a, Emonee. Say, Kwanzaa, Umoja, Nee-a, Emonee.
Everybody say, Kwanzaa! Movements for Kwanzaa are holding up your pointer finger on each hand and pushing forward.
For Umoja you can use each arm like wings or make a hugging motion and end up crossing them on your chest. For Nee-a just dip your knees up and down slightly and for Emonee hold your arms and palms out and make a circular motion while you balance on your heels.
