Animal sound verbs

I used this to introduce the verbs we use to describe the sounds that animals make, we then went on to talk about the verbs we use to describe the way in which humans speak.



Some of them asked me what does the fox say so we used this video






First verse gapped other verses mixed  Note some dodgy pronunciation in places!

What does the fox say - Ylvis


Dog goes "..............."
Cat goes ".................."
Bird goes "............."
And mouse goes "............"
Cow goes ".............."
Frog goes "..........."
And the elephant goes ".........."
Ducks say "................."
And fish go "...................."
And the seal goes "ow ow ow"

But there's one sound
That no one knows
What does the fox say?

"Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!(x2)
What the fox say?

"Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow! (x3)
What the fox say?
"Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho! (x3)
What the fox say?

"Joff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff! (x3)
What the fox say?

Big blue eyes
Suddenly you're standing still
And digging holes
Up the hill
Tiny paws
Chasing mice
Pointy nose

Your fur is red
Like an angel in disguise
Will you communicate by
But if you meet
A friendly horse
So beautiful

Mo-o-o-o-orse?
Mo-o-o-o-orse?
Mo-o-o-o-orse?
How will you speak to that
Ho-o-o-o-orse?
Ho-o-o-o-orse?
Ho-o-o-o-orse?
What does the fox say?

"Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow! (x3)
What the fox say?

"Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow! (x3)
What the fox say?

"A-hee-ahee ha-hee! (x3)
What the fox say?

"A-oo-oo-oo-ooo!
Woo-oo-oo-ooo!"
What does the fox say?

The secret of the fox
I know you're hiding
Ancient mystery
Will always be a mystery
What is your sound?
What do you say?
Will we ever know?
Somewhere deep in the woods


You're my guardian angel
Hiding in the woods
What is your sound?
(Wa-wa-way-do, wub-wid-bid-dum-way-do, wa-wa-way-do)
Will we ever know? (Bay-budabud-dum-bam)
I want to (Mama-dum-day-do) I want to, I want to know!
(Abay-ba-da bum-bum bay-do)
