LEARNING A LANGUAGE BY USING IT is really the only way to become confident and fluent – so ACTION-SONGS represent a fun, repetitive and meaningful way to learn natural expressions easily. Even adults enjoy them if they can overcome the feeling that they are too old for this kind of activity.
As a follow-up to the latest new ACTION songs I created a couple of weeks ago, I decided to involve my students in creating flashcards for the expressions so as to consolidate them in their minds. They subsequently played SNAP with the cards with the added fun of a bell when they could think of a complete sentence using this expression. The results were amazing because they not only created sentences about themselves but also about their family members, resulting in the use of the 3rd person and consequently having to remember the addition of the ‘s’. The games were a complete success in the amount of fun they had not only playing but managing to create a lot of correct sentences with the pronouns I, he & she. I recommend trying it out for yourselves! See my ACTION-SONGS on my YouTube Channel. For example: MORNING ROUTINE song for kids AFTERNOON / EVENING ROUTINE song for kids SPORTS Routine Song for kids CLOTHES Routine Song for kids PREPOSITION Chant DAILY ROUTINE Song DIRECTIONS Chant I hope you find this useful.
