      About songs

      I like your viewpoints about teaching songs and about the use of action verbs.However,I'd like to add that a choice of songs should be taken into account. For instance "Head,shoulders,knees and toes" song is a wonderful support to introduce new vocabulary about the body. Besides it's motivating !

      Using Songs in the classroom

      Great idea. I have used it for teaching when I used to teach in Fiji but here New Zealand, it's not much of a buzz about songs. It does teach a lot of things and also the fluency and confidence to say words. Also makes children creative and keen listeners when asked to insert their own actions. They try to give exact meaning to actions in relation.

      Love it. Songs in the classroom. Believe it not. I sometimees ask my students to make a rap about digestive system or read an article with music.

      Educational Song help
      Submitted on 9 March, 2012 - 02:06

      Would you like to use nursrey rhymes for younger kids

      e.g. To achieve learning to count back wards with visual..use five little ducks went out one day, over the hills and far away

      or ten green bottles sitting on the wall

      or ten little sausages sizzling in the pan....one goes fat and pop! 9 little ...My 5 year olds love this becasue they can sizzle like sausages and throw thier arms and legs up when they pop...

       

      Teaching pairs...one two buckle my shoe

      Story telling....Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick sick sick

       

      check you tube for these things and if you can download

       

      hope this helps
