Making English Songs for Children Work in your Classroom 1. To start, use games and flashcards to teach the key vocabulary included in the song you plan to use. Expand from there into simple syntax and grammar examples, letting the children use the words in sentences or phrases. 2. Preview the song by playing it during your vocabulary teaching sessions and gradually implement listening games, where children can point to or hold up a card when they hear a specific word. 3. Play the song only two or three times per session to keep it fresh and interesting. You can focus on learning only a line or two at first, then reviewing and adding another line or two during each subsequent class. You can turn the music off and practice the line slowly, then turn the music back on and practice each line in rhythm. 4. Add actions to the song if possible. Let your students help you brainstorm for actions to describe vocabulary words, and implement them in the song for a performance all can participate in. 5. After the song is learned to perfection, have your class perform for another class or a teacher and parent group. Then move on to a new song. You can still revisit the old song by using the lyrics learned to formulate reading, writing and spelling lessons. http://www.eslteachersboard.com/cgi-bin/articles/index.pl?page=2;read=4069
