Rain on me

 

This activity about the Rhyme: Rain on me .

It is aimed at students in the second grade of Primary Education.

The objectives that I want to work are: - To produce short and simple familiar rhyme. To understand oral and written rhyme. To learn different vocabulary. To be able to use written foreign language.

ACTIVITY: I give to my student a paper with the rhyme:

Rain on the grass and rain on the tree.

Rain on the top house but no on me.


First, I recite the words students make some music with the rainstick.

Second, I recite the Rhyme and my students repeat after me and play with the rainstick. Third,some students recite the rhyme and other play the rainstick.

Finally,they learn it they have to change some words from the rhyme using the model the teacher writes on the digital board using the rainstick, for example: Rain on the grass they say: Rain on the plants . Rain on the tree they say: rain on the fields . As a conclusion ,I would like to say learning a rhyme using music became a game. The groups of class perform with the teacher.All repetitions will be appropriate to the rhyme should be practised. If possible the rhyme can be turned into a song with different groups and individuals in the different parts.

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

"We are going on a bear hunt" with instruments

  *After attending this course I thought that one of the stories I normally tell my infant students every year in autumn would be perfect to add some sounds to it. The story chosen is " We are going on a bear hunt ". Normaly I just make the sound effects myself using my mouth or I find the sounds effects online. I've already done it this year but for the next I think it would be great to prepare some materials, not sure if you could call them musical instruments, for the sound effects. The first time I would make the noises but for the next retelling sessions, kids could make the sounds themselves: -Grass "swishy swashy": ran a broom or dusting brush along the floor. -River "splash splosh": throw something in a bucket with water -Mud "squelch squerch": shake a bottle with soil and water. -Forest "stumble trip": hit stisks together (like brunshes in the forest) -Snowstorm "hoooo woooo!": blow air into a cup -Cave "ti

Humpty Dumpty STEAM

  Humpty Dumpty is a nursery rhyme that I usually use for a STEAM lesson plan because it is a great way to incorporate science, technology, engineering, art, and math, but also, literacy and music. On the one hand, you can do different experiments to reinforce the concepts of sinking and floating. For example, I fill a clear jar with water and place Humpty in, as you know, he should go right to the bottom. Then, I ask the students what they think will happen if you add some salt to Humpty’s water and stir each time to dissolve the salt. As we know, the salt makes the water denser than the contents of the egg, so Humpty will float to the top of the jar. Another experiment that could be used to introduce the concept of solids, liquids and gases is to place Humpty into some vinegar in a see-through container and leave him for a few days and do some regular observations. There would be bubbles forming around the egg within an hour, so we can ask our students what they think the bubbles
