I have just finished making my first ever TikTok video and was so surprised how easy it was. Admittedly my first creation is very basic, and already I am keen to explore tips I can use to make the next clips more appealing. If you have any tips, please, please comment below!

The clip is of a song that I may use with my year 4’s this term for the term 2 ‘transportasi’ (transportation) topic. As a text for this topic, I am now torn between 3 possibilities.
Here they are:

1. Pak Budi naik apa ke Sekolah

Sepeda motor Pak Budi rusak.

“Saya naik apa ke sekolah?” dia berkata.

Pada hari Senin dia naik becak ke sekolah.

Pada hari Selasa dia naik bus ke sekolah.

Pada hari Rabu dia naik delman ke sekolah.

Pada hari Kamis dia naik mobil temannya ke sekolah.

Pada hari Jumat dia naik sepeda ke sekolah.

Pada hari Sabtu dia berjalan kaki ke sekolah

Pada hari Minggu dia memperbaiki sepeda motornya.

Pada hari Senin Pak Budi bisa naik sepeda motornya lagi ke sekolah.

Pak Budi senang sekali.

2. Jangan Naik Skooter di Sekolah (written by Ibu Anne)
Here is the parallel story for her story:

3. Naik, naik ke puncak Gunung (traditional childrens song)

I love this traditional song because of the memories I have of listening to my children learning and singing it with our guides as we climbed Mount Batur when they were only 6 and 8 years old!

Issues I have with many of the YouTube clips for traditional Indonesian childrens songs include:
– animated characters have anglo appearances eg eye shape etc,
– the audio &/or visual can be poor quality,
-the background is often animated and again sadly, does not truly represent beautiful and incredible Indonesia. See the above clip and consider the mountain they are climbing (in a car!!) to your memories from Indonesia. How cool would it be if they were actually climbing a volcano!! IKR

Which all explains why I decided to google how to make a TikTok video and found this:
