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...

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...
