Have you got an old guitar lying around at home that is covered in dust? Have you ever wanted to lead a campfire singalong? Rai has the tutorial for you!
Just as with the Ukelele, learning the guitar is simply a matter of learning how to pin down the strings to the frets with one hand while strumming with the other. Rai shows us a few regularly used chords and takes us through some folk tunes to practice.
Grab a ukelele and strum along with Rai as he teaches us the three simple chords C, F, & G.
These chords pop up in so many songs that after learning them you will be nearly ready to put on your own concert!
Rai also shows us a strumming pattern that adds a nice rhythm to many songs. You can experiment with your own strumming pattern as you play songs you know – maybe you’ll find one you like even more!

It’s time to play Tombola (Italian Bingo) with Anna and Ciro! Before watching this video, print your Tombola cards and collect some small stones, buttons, or seeds. Then you’ll be ready to play along at home.
Every time Anna or Ciro draws an animal card from the bag, check to see if that animal is on your Tombola card. If you can see the same animal on your Tombola card, put one of your small stones or buttons on that square. When your card is full, you can yell out TOMBOLA! You have won!
While we’re playing, we’ll also learn the Italian names for lots of different animals – la balena, il cavallo, la rana…
Meet Ciro! He wants to play – but he only speaks Italian. We can learn some Italian while playing with him!
In this first episode, Anna and Ciro introduce themselves and teach us a song in Italian. And next time we’ll be playing the Italian game Tombola.
Bacini from Ciro!
