Hokie Pokie

Hello students!

Taylor came to our class a few weeks ago. She was talking about herself and America. And she taught us a new song HOKIE POKIE. If you want to learn the whole lyrics, you can click here

Head, shoulders, knees and toes

This is another song to practise parts of the body. It has a lot of action and children love it. Children never forget the lyrics.



The lyrics are very easy:

Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
knees and toes (x2)(Chorus)
and eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
(Chorus)

VERY EASY!!!

Old MacDonald had a farm

This song is about animals in a farm and all the noises animals make. Children can learn the different animals but you can do plenty of activities with it, for example: colouring
Listen to it with the lyrics.

I would like to think about the different activities this song has and choose one that would apply for your children.

This is another version in You tube, choose the one you like best.

Twinkle, twinkle little star

This is a bedtime song published by the British Council that can be sung when putting children to sleep or simply when spending time with them. Little babies love lullabies and nursery rhymes like this one.

As you know print here the lyrics.

I hope you enjoy it.

TOYS

Hello, students!

I know you are studying the toys, have a look at the flashcards with the names and pictures of toys in English. Using flascards in the classroom is a good way to learn new vocabulary for children.
You can listen to the pronounciation in this easy video.

Here you have the suitable games&toys for the different stages and ages.

If you are happy and you know it

This is another song: If you are happy and you know it to practise actions and daily routines with the children.

Do the actions and sing along with your children.As you know you can print the lyrics here
Adapt the song by changing the lyrics depending on what your child is doing or how they’re feeling. For example, ‘If you’re hungry and you know it, eat a pear’, ‘If you’re dirty and you know it, have a bath’, ‘If you’re tired and you know it, go to bed’ etc. By incorporating the song into their daily routines around the house you will personalise it and make it more memorable. As you introduce new adjectives, act them out so the meaning is clear.
