<p>The students have to listen to the idiom song and then recognize them. This presentation is made in format of a crane game. It contains 25 colorful slides and it’s useful for intermediate level students. You can also download this song in mp3 file, its instrumental version and lyrics as well.</p>
I am having to teach Summer School in a British International School in Spain. So, I am trying to reinforce English through song. I put together a group of some of my favorite silly songs when I was growing up. Although, I did find one or two new one's that tickled my fancy! I have a mixed group of year 3, year 6 and year 8, so I am trying to do something that spans the year groups. I have been teaching the kids these songs this week and I though it would be fun to reinforce the songs through a game of Splat! There are three rounds. 1. Rhymes 2. Questions about the songs 3. Homophones. All you need is some colourful fly swatters or hands, and hey- presto!
Starter activity to practise dictionary skills
Students look up the words in the dictionary and figure out the name of the song in English. The singer/band's initials are at the side of each. The answers to each slide are in the notes at the bottom of each one.
Haven&'t used this myself yet. Please let me know if it&';s useful or not.

The song counts down the number of spots on your dog as you wash him. The game will be familiar to most people, and I have put Spanish sentences on the cards to be read.
<p>I have made some little flip books to have in the class, with a range of attention and listening activities. They are two flip books in one document.</p>
<p>A great starter activity for Christmas time. Students to identify what sacred or secular Christmas song the lyrics are from.</p>
<p>Students can work alone, in pairs or small groups. A great game for all ages.</p>
<p>The 5 pieces included here are:<br />
1. Snow White - Heigh Ho<br />
2. Lion King - In The Jungle<br />
3. Bare Necessities - Jungle Book<br />
4. Do You Want To Build A Snowman? - Frozen<br />
5. Under The Sea - The Little Mermaid</p>
<p>I use these alongside games, singing the songs, using solfege (do-re-mi) as well as teach pupils to read notation so that by the time they get to ‘Under The Sea’ they can work out the colours needed.</p>
<p>Also included is a Powerpoint file which has the pieces broken down in to chunks (chords and melody).</p>
<p>NOTE: Make sure to install the fonts included to ensure the ppt. file looks as created.</p>
This game involves matching equivalent fractions in number form or pictorial form. The fractions involve denominators of 3, 6 and 12.<br />
<br />
Students shuffle the cards and place them out in memory format. They then turn over cards to<br />
match equivalent fractions. They take the pair when they have matched them.<br />

<br />
The next (extra) section involves unjumbling a group of words to find the correct greetings. Again, make this more difficult by telling the students to cover up the French words listed above.<br />

Battleships Game<br />
Instructions<br />
<br />
I use this battleships game (which can also be used as a lotto grid) to help students to practise their pronunciation and to reinforce new vocabulary and grammatical structures. <br />
<br />
Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions.<br />
<br />
<br />
I then check the translations and drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game. The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a phrase from the horizontal line and complete the sentence with a phrase from the vertical line. Where the 2 phrases meet up is the square you have chosen.<br />
<br />
I use the English language sheet to further challenge the students: they should place this on top of the French version and then try to play the game saying the French phrases as far as possible from memory. I allow the really weak students to have the French version next to the English version so they have lots of support, stronger students are allowed a few “sneaky peaks” at the French version and the really strong students aim to refer back to the French version as little as possible. <br />
<br />
During the game I circulate the classroom checking pronunciation. This is followed by whole class drilling of pronunciation mistakes. <br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

A jolly Pirate song in a Calypso Style with plenty of opportunity for movement, fun and games. During the chorus a real coconut could be passed round with the person left holding the coconut when the music stops having to do a forfeit. Or half a coconut could be banged on the floor as it's passed round to create a rhythmic accompaniment. The possibilities are endless.
