Popular Korean Baby Body Motions/Songs

Recently I was on another board and they were talking about the things Koreans teach their babies...such as "DoriDori", "JamJam", and "Jjakjjakung". How many of you here have taught these motions/songs to your kids?

Here's a youtube of it if you don't know it already.




Here's the actual Dori Dori Song:


Also, my son recently sang the Korean version of Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in his school program...which was hilarious since his school is not even Korean! The pronunciation was a little off but cute nonetheless.

Here's a youtube of Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in Korean.

Thank you so much for sharing these! Our little girl was entranced by all the videos.

thank you! when we brought rubin home, he was constantly making the motions for "gonjee gonjee gonjee" (pointing his right index finger to the palm of his left hand.) thankfully, there was another adoptive mama in our support group who knew exactly what he was up to and taught us all of the other "finger plays." i LOVE it.

i didn't, but while we were at my parent's house when our son was 7 months, my mom taught him doridori, jamjam and jjakjjakgoong, among others, and he picked it up real fast!! altho i told her no more doridori cuz he won't stop shaking his head! hahaha...
