"Elmer's special day" story

 I would choose the story: "Elmer's special day."

It's almost Elmer's Day again and the elephants have begun their preparations. But in all the excitement they are making an awful lot of noise and upsetting the other animals.

The activity that he would carry out would be the elaboration of a party blower decorated as the students want. Materials: Paper sheet Straw Scissor Scotch tape Elastic band Steps: 1) Cut about four centimeters from the paper. 2) Fold one side of the paper to the center. 3) We do the same with the opposite side. 4) We stick the paper with the adhesive tape so that the folds made do not come apart. 5) Now we fold the corners of one of the ends inwards. 6) Achieving that it ends in a semi-triangular point. 7) We fold the tip and stick with adhesive tape. 8) We roll up the piece of paper that you have formed with the help of the straw. We use the elastic band to hold the roll. 9) Put the straw into the paper roll, fold the excess material from the sides. 10) Paste and secure with the adhesive tape. The party blower is ready for fun!

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...
