How to teach your kids mahjong through songs.

With the emphasis on English literacy, I say it's time for a mahjong revolution and we should start at nursery level! Here are songs we should teach them:

Missus Tai Tai has a Pong.
P o n g Pong.
And then she has one more same tile.
K a n g Kang.
With a Pong Pong here
and a Pong Kang there,
Pong Pong Pong Kang and don't forget your eye,
Missus Tai Tai now has won
And so she shouts a Hu!

Rosie Phua now has a Pong
Has a Pong
Has a Pong
Rosie Phua now has an eye
So she Pong Pong Hu!

Yi wan, Jiu wan, Dong Nan Xi Bei
Yi suo, Jiu suo, Hong Zhong, Fa Cai
Yi tong Jiu tong and one Bai Ban
and one more to Shi San Yao.
