For young children just hearing the words being repeated, sung and danced is great learning. 'Kakat-kity withen-kuk.' Is a very rhythmical phrase that can be accompanied with 'malka-pula' (click sticks), clapping, flying and/gliding and long beak digging movements. (Having a colouring in exercise sheet with both 'kakat' and 'withen' to colour in and cut out and hold while singing would be useful.)
Could have two other examples like 'wile-kity marrəm-kuk' (possum's fur) or 'kuka-kity tulu-ngani-kuk' (grandma's yam stick) to allow for building and repeating the 'kity' and 'kuk' sounds.
The public learning list
'Animals - Birds - first letter 'k'. Would be a good 'saying out loud' list to practice first of all without the 'kity' and 'kuk' and then with the 'kity' and 'kuk' for each of the five.
Older - use the Learning List functions, eg the close exercise, to learn first of all the five list and then a
longer bird list.
- Make a list of five animals. Create five phrases with the 'owner ending' and the 'possessive ending'. Turn those five phrases into sentences about the feature that is owned, for example, 'Kakat-kity withen-kuk tyemulin.' (A white Ibis's feather was found.)
