I use this resource to get all the children to say 'soy un pollito' etc., as I divide them into 3 teams for points earning purposes. It links nicely with a story on the growstorygrow website (subscription necessary for that), but also works as a nice session that stands on its own.

An everyday good morning song.\nA circle song, with 2 ladybirds in the middle. At the end of each verse each ladybird goes to the circle to choose a friend ladybird until we get to 8 and it stops there each time. (The singing is just for demonstration and never sounds like I would like it to!)
