There are many different types of laughterIf I sing them to you now you might remember them after
You bite into some food that is really bitter
Your friend sees your face and he starts to titter
You notice that your teacher is a big nose picker
You know you shouldn't laugh but you start to snicker
A laugh that sounds like a bird is called a cackle
If it's loud enough, it will raise your hackles
The funniest thing that you ever saw
Is likely to cause you to guffaw
When you laugh real loud, that's called a chortle
We need to learn to laugh because we're mortal
There are many different types of laughter
If I sing them to you now you might remember them after

What ages do the junior and senior levels vocab minute lyrics aim to reach? On your blog you use "elementary" but it's not listed that way on the podcast. Love it all by the way!!!! thanks! :) Janene
Hi Mosier Community School, and hi Janene!
Junior level covers grades 3 through 7. Senior level covers grades 8 through 12. I'm not sure why TPR only divides them into two groups--might have something to do with the way the host site was originally organized. My job is to write them to elementary, middle-school, or high-school level, so that's what I do, and I label them accordingly.
Best,
Tom
