In song, Jack Johnson teaches children the three R's rule
How about teaching the three R's rule to your kids with a song?
If you have children, there is nothing better than teaching them from an early age on the need to avoid the environmental damage that consumption causes. This can be done with games, movies, teaching material, in practice and also with music. That was the idea of Hawaiian singer Jack Johnson when releasing the song The 3 R's (the three R's, in free translation), adapted from the song three is a magic number.
The song, which appears on the film's soundtrack Curious George, from 2005, gives tips on how to reuse, reduce and recycle; teaches a good part of the multiplication table for three; and, for Brazilian children, you can also help out in English classes.
Are you curious? So listen to the song and see the lyrics translated below:
the three R's
three is a magic numberYes it is, it's a magic number
Because twice three is six
three times six is eighteen
And the eighteenth letter of the alphabet is "R"
we have three R's
we are going to talk about them today
we will learn to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
If you go to the market to buy juice
You must bring your own bags.
And you will learn how to reduce your waste
we need to learn to reduce
What if your brothers or sisters
buy nice clothes
you must try them
Before you buy the same
reuse
We need to learn to reuse
What if the first two R's don't work
And you need to get rid of some garbage
don't do it
recycle
we need to learn to recycle

it's a magic number
