Korean Kids Song Sunday: Closed Fist 주먹쥐고

Recently, I asked my mom to sing me a kids Korean song, and she started singing this song.   She was so cute making up the handmotions as she went along. The song is simple with simple motions: fist, open, clap, on your head!



Here's the Yahoo! Kids Korea version:

야후! 꾸러기 동요
	주먹쥐고 주먹쥐고 손을 펴서 손뼉 치고 주먹쥐고또 다시 펴서 손뼉치..

Cute video of mom singing the song to her son who's dancing away. I love at the end when dad says "jahl-hehs-uh-yo!" (good job!) little man motions, "raise the roof!" So cute!



This video shows Korean transformer type robots doing the handmotions:





And for an overload of CUTE, here's a whole pre-school class of kids doing the handmotions very poorly, but so cutely:
