Arabic ‘Head, Shoulders, Tummy & Feet’ Nursery Rhyme {Resource}

I love to use the nursery rhyme Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes when I do Arabic story time at the public library.

However in Arabic it is sung in a slightly different manner and instead of ‘knees and toes’, it is ‘tummy and feet’. The song also includes hands between the first and second verse..

To help with the sing song rhythm, the song makes the body parts possessive, so it’s “my head, my shoulders”, etc.

Here is how it is sung in Arabic.

 Rasy
 Katafy
 Batny
 Qadumy
 Wa
 Yaday
 Wa
 Adhny
 Fumy
 Anfy
 Eaynay 

My head 
 My shoulders
 My tummy
 My foot
 And
 My hands 
 And 
 My ear
 My mouth
 My nose
 My eyes 

The song can be sung several times, trying to go faster each time. You can download the song here.
