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.

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...

The drum story

We have chosen the option 3 where we are going to create a musical instrument   and relate it to a story , song or rhyme to work with. In our case, we are going to relate it with a story. The best way to learn a language is to do it in the same way that we learned our mother tongue, that is, by receiving a constant INPUT (Krashen language acquisition hypothesis). Stories respects the natural language form and is a huge source of input in classrooms.   Finally, this resource will help us to work on values and will be a tranversal axis in the education of students, being able to work with it, such as: environmental education, educación for peace or for equality. Stories can link not only between the world of the classroom and beyond. Stories provide a common thread that can help unite cultures and provide a bridge across the cultural gap.   We would like to create a positive attitude on our students related to the stories. Some stories for children of the third co...
