Good afternoon teacher. Were fine.
II. Motivation
We will do a short activity today. But first please
listen to me.
(Teacher singing Zum Gali Gali
Zum gali gali gali, zum gali gali zum (2x)
Hechalutz le maan avodah, avodah le maan
hechalutz (2x)
Zum gali gali gali, zum gali gali zum (2x)
(Repeat 2 more times for the students to be able to
know the song)
Okay, now, please repeat after me.
(Teacher teaches the song by rote)
Zum gali gali gali, zum gali gali zum (2x)
Hechalutz le maan avodah, avodah le maan
hechalutz (2x)
Zum gali gali gali, zum gali gali zum (2x)
Okay, now that you all know. Let us all stand and
let us first sing the song only without the rhythmic
ostinatos. And after we finish the song, we will
repeat it again and we will add the rhythmic
ostinatos one group everytime. Just look at me so
that I can tell you when to enter for the ostinatos.
(Teacher sings together with students)
(After one round, add the rhythmic ostinatos)
(Teacher signals each group when to enter)
Thank you students for participating. You may
now take your seats.
English Translation
As long as deep in my heart
The soul of a Jew yearns,
And forward to the East
To Zion, an eye looks
Our hope will not be lost,
The hope of two thousand years,
To be a free nation in our land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.
(Everybody dances)
Goodbye teacher!
