Al pavo pavito pavo
Al pavo pavito sÃ,
El pavito se ha marchado
¡Y el pavito ya está aquÃ! ¡Una!
Al pavo pavito pavo
Al pavo pavito sÃ,
El pavito se ha marchado
¡Y el pavito ya está aquÃ! ¡Dos!
Al pavo pavito pavo
Al pavo pavito sÃ,
El pavito se ha marchado
¡Y el pavito ya está aquÃ! ¡Tres!
¡Pavo! ¡Pavo! ¡Pavo!

What do you have the “out” students do?
Hi Amanda! Good question! You could have those kids sit to the side and sing and pat (or play drums on) the beat. Or you could have them work independently, such as begin a worksheet or work or read books.
