Hi Bahadir   There are quite a few good karaoke websites which should be able to help you.

http://beta.luckyvoice.com/ This site is still under development, but has some marvelous features and a really good collection of songs and play lists. I've written a complete review of the site at: http://quickshout.blogspot.com/2008/08/great-new-karaoke-site.html

But the best one so far forr me is http://www.karaokeparty.com/en mainly because many of the songs also include videos of the original singer with the lyrics. Students who register can also get a score on their singing ability, which may also help to motivate them to repeat the song aand do better.  You can see a complete review with screen shots at:http://quickshout.blogspot.com/2008/08/another-great-new-karaoke-site.html

 

I've also written an activity here based around a Karaoke website:

Not really knowing what age group you mean with 'young', it is not easy to make good recommendations - but I have had much success with songs like 'I wish, I knew how (it would feel...) by the Lighthouse Family for Conditional 2, 'Lemon Tree' by Fool's Garden for Present Progressive (much better and livlier than the old chestnut 'Iam sailing..."). Both are singable and the vocabulary is not complicated. Much depends on the topic at hand and the level of grammar proficiency, but nearly every song text can be used (to some degree...!) I think it is not a question of 'which song teaches which grammar point?' Rather it is a question of this song is great, understandable, the music is motivating - which grammar point can I teach/revise with it?'

 Hi

I want to thank to all my helpers, especially you, Nik. Your links are so benefitable.

By the way, I had once used the 'lemon tree'. It is quite an appropriate song for elementary or low intermediate learners.

Thank you all for your assistance..

best wishes....

Bahadir,

The song "these are a few of my favourite things" from the movie "Sound of Music" has a lot of nouns - countable & uncountable. Its a great way to teach kids nouns. And they love the song too! Try it.
