Listen to “I Am Somebody”, then print this page and sing along (or just look at the screen)!

You can even personalize the lyrics (“[child’s name] is somebody,” “my eyes are ___, your eyes are ___,” “[child’s name] is strong, she’s stronger”). You might begin to learn the song by heart after hearing and singing it a few times, so you can really notice and think about specific lines. You might ask children: 

  • Can you list some of the things the children said about themselves in the song? (I’m strong, I’m somebody, and so on) 
  • Ask, “What does ‘giant’ mean? What can you think of that is giant?” Explain that this song is called “Giant,” but unlike the big things children have probably named, it’s not about anything big that you can see. It’s about being “big” in your head and in your heart. 
  • What is your favorite part of the song? Why? 

Sing it together, anytime, anywhere!
