  1. Xabier, thank you for this post. I ove this song, it´s really funny and "makes me feel happy", indeed.
    But I have some problems to understand some words and fill in all the gaps. Please, could you provide us the solution?
    Thank you!

  2. Hi there,
    I know it’s difficult to understand the lyrics, especially for the children. I see this task more like a reward than a task to assess. Anyway, here you have the solutions:

    I’m about to say
    room without a roof
    happiness is the truth
    happiness is to you
    you want to do
    waste your time

    Thanks for your comment,
    Xabi.

  3. Dear Xabier,

    I really love your blog! It is very appeal for children with the colours and the posts. I like the activities that you have created, because they attract the children’s attention. The ones that I like most are those about musical instruments, geography and adverbs of frequency. The activity about the song is really good. With my students I have tried another version of this activity: in the same stanza I mix the verses in a random order and then they have to put the numbers at the beginning indicating the right order.

    Xabier, congratulations, keep doing like this!

    Anna.
