Linda Hibbs - Tuttle Indonesian for Kids Flash Cards: [Includes Downloadable Audio]

Acknowledgments The author would like to thank the following: Asita Majdi in Yogyakarta for her enthusiasm to sing and record the childrens songs; Michael Ewing (University of Melbourne) for his valuable comments and suggestions on the text; Eli Riharti (Point Cook) for her careful checking of language; Cindy Hussein for her recording assistance and voice talent; and Sandra Korinchak for her wonderful support as editor. Indonesian Games and Activities to Try Habis Bingo Game 1. Ask your child/students to write down five numbers between 1 and 10 (or higher numbers if your child/students have learned more). 2. Write down your own five numbers and call them out in Indonesian. 3. 3.

The first child/student to have all five numbers calls out Habis! Ask them to read out their numbers to check them (and to practice the language!).

Warna Apa? What Color? 1. Place color squares (8" x 8") or any other colored paper cut into squares (as many squares as students) in a circle on the floor. Ask students to stand in a circle around these. 2. Play some music.

Students dance or march around in a circle. Stop the music. Students sit down next to a color square. 3. Choose a color and ask, to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Siapa duduk di samping BIRU? Siapa nama anak itu? (Who is sitting next to BLUE? What is the name of the child?).
The child who is sitting next to the blue square stands up and says, Nama saya ___. (My name is ___.) 4.

Repeat until everyone has had a turn. This helps students learn their colors and also gives them confidence in saying their name.

Ali Berkata Ali Says 1. Explain that this game uses the same rules as the game Simon Says, and ask students to stand. 2. Use different parts of the body in each command.

For example: Ali berkata TANGAN di atas KEPALA. (Ali says HANDS on HEADS.)
or
TANGAN di atas KEPALA. (HANDS on HEADS.) 3. Any child/student who puts their hands on their heads if Ali has not said so, is out and must sit down. The winner is the student who is the last one left.

Semut, Orang, Gajah Ant, Person, Elephant This Indonesian game is popular throughout the world in various versions, and is often known as the paper, scissors, stone game.

This game is often played by young children in Indonesia to see who goes first in play, or just for fun to see who wins. 1. To play, two people each quickly and simultaneously put a hand forward, showing one of these signs:
semut (ant): Little finger points towards partner.
orang (person): Pointer (index) finger points towards partner. gajah (elephant): Thumb points towards partner. 2. The semut (ant) wins over the gajah (elephant) because the ant can crawl in the elephants ear and tickle him and drive him crazy.

The orang (person) wins over the ant because the person can stomp on the ant and squash it. The gajah (elephant) wins over the person because the person can get trampled by the elephant.
