Boomwhackers tubes

 In this project, we will create percussion tubes, that is, boomwhackers tubes (they are sound tubes that when struck emit a certain tone) and then we will use them to reproduce a song with English lyrics.

We will start by creating the percussion tubes. To do so, we will need PVC tubes of different sizes so that each one sounds in a different way. We will make seven different sizes to simulate the 7 musical notes, and each one will be painted in a different color, to better differentiate the sounds. We will create at least two tubes for each student.
Then we will start practicing the song that in this case I have chosen "In the Jungle, the mighty jungle ...". We will have the lyrics printed so that we can work on their vocabulary and learn it together with the melody.
Later we will try to recreate the song with the boomwhackers tubes, while the melody of the song plays in the background and we sing the lyrics all together. Next I leave the link of this project that we are carrying out in my school in Burgos, where we need to implement the part of singing it in English together with the instruments, since here we are carrying out the project together with the music subject.

Twelve Days of Christmas

  Singing Christmas songs is a great part of the Christmas celebration! As we are soon on holidays, carols are perfect to put you in the right Christmas mood. So I will make a tambourine using this link. It is taken from the web Hamish gave us https://www.seispinguinos.com/reciclinstrumentos.html I will song Twelve Days of Christmas, which is a very fun song to sing with kids but also with some teens! I will use it with my group of PMAR students. It is a cumulative song, which means that each verse is built on top of the previous verses. So this song has got 12 verses -12 days. The first verse is short, but the following verses are getting longer and longer. It seems simple but it isn't. The song is perfect to help my students count, revise numbers as well as learning vocabulary. On the other hand, it hasn't got any religious content so this song is perfect for diversity and my students always have fun! I will use make the tambourine with them and I will use it while sin...

The Colour Monster song

I have always used songs in classes at any level. They allow you to work on so many issues, such as vocabulary, structures, grammar, not to mention the Listening skill, if it's a gap filling, or the fact that students tend to unwind when listening to a song. This last idea made me think it would be a great idea to use The Colour Monster song as a relaxing activity in my classes. I have to mention I used it for second graders of ESO in a highschool last year and they loved it. We worked on feelings and wordbuilding and from that moment on I received a different answer than "I'm good" to my question "How are you feeling today?" They started to use: upset, worried, thrilled, calm or sleepy. I even recommended the same song to one of my tutoring students, whose teacher at school (1st of BACH) asked them to look for a song that uses colours in it. We linked colours to feelings and came up with a list of feelings, using both nouns and adjectives (anger/angry). N...
