LISTEN, REPEAT, MOVE: the DAILY ROUTINE SONG - repeating collocations, prepositions, phrasal verbs combined with movements in a song

Many language students tend to dedicate a long time studying rules and doing written exercises yet not many manage to apply them in spontaneous conversation.  Despite exposure to texts and listening activities, unless they practise speaking intensively few are talented enough to be able to express themselves orally without sounding unnatural.  For this reason I am trying to create useful songs and chants which incorporate repeating collocations, prepositions, phrasal verbs combined with movements to allow students to embed and practise their oral expression in a fun way and lasting manner without feeling bored or embarassed.  I believe in 'learning by doing' and practising speaking can never be enough!

The following song is about a pupil's DAILY ROUTINE:

Download the VIDEO below to see the movements connected to the EXPRESSIONS in the simple song! 
(Unfortunately I could not upload the Video with subtitles due to 34MB size - I will gladly email it to you on request.) 

Try it out and have fun!
