This song is used to teach children how to say the time in English. As you can probably tell it’s used to lead into the “What time is it, Mr Wolf?” game.
Usually we use this after a few lessons, but many classes, including most of the ones here, can manage it even from the first lesson. Provided they can tell the time in their own language of course!
In the Japanese talky bit at the end I go through why it is important to use loud voices in class. i.e. if everyone speaks at normal volumes then the shy kids will probably say nothing at all, but if everyone is singing at full volume even the shy kids will try a little bit. I think you can probably tell this from the video!
The song is taken from Genki English volume 2: http://genkienglish.net/cd2.htm
