Al pavo pavito pavo
Al pavo pavito sí,
El pavito se ha marchado
¡Y el pavito ya está aquí! ¡Una!
Al pavo pavito pavo
Al pavo pavito sí,
El pavito se ha marchado
¡Y el pavito ya está aquí! ¡Dos!
Al pavo pavito pavo
Al pavo pavito sí,
El pavito se ha marchado
¡Y el pavito ya está aquí! ¡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.
