This song is paired with hand motions based on the Macarena dance. Pairing 12 hand movements with the 12 months of the year is a whole brain learning technique that helps to reinforce the concept being learned and memorized. This song helps students to memorize the names and the order of the months. This can be paired with a visual list or other representation of the months posted somewhere visible in the classroom so students could read along with the song to reinforce spelling and month order.
