Karaoke: easy listening story for elementary level students; the story or the 'song' with the words of the same story is played after which students sing the 'song' repeating the reader, in the end they try to sing alone with words provided like karaoke. I piloted the activity with my 9 year-old neighbour. The kid was really engaged in that the kid was simply listening to the song and enjoying it. I suggest playing the same song over sevearal days so that learner would automatically sing with the song.

I used this audio/video file during my practicum to teach 5 to 7 years old 10 little kids from AUA EEC courses and it succeeded. It was an entertaining way of teaching. The kids were motivated because they could hear and watch a colorful video clip. As in this audio/video file kids were singing and dancing by pointing out their parts of the body. Watching this motivated the kids and they started to imitate them. After playing the audio and video file several times they learned it by heart.

Today I tried this activity on my 5th grade students and my little sister. This acitivity is not just a song. It is a game where your child can enhance his/her speaking and listening abiltiies and pronouciation while listening to it. Actually it is about people living in the world and it is an animated video. It was funny and I even promised them to write down the words (which is not difficult, as the animated man is singing and below the page u can see the sentences of the song) and give them at the next lesson so that they can learn it and sing the song together.

This is a listening exercise which aims to assist learners' intonation and stress. For this song, upper intermediate students should listen and fill in the blanks with no help or discussion. They should then check what they have written with classmates. Once the lyrics are completed, students should be encoureged to sing along with the song, in order to practise the stress and intonation. I practised it with my student when having tutoring and it helped greatly.

Songs are always excellent activities for kids. They become more cheerful, enthusiastic about the lesson. But the most important factor is that songs create stress-free environment. In m practice I have tried to sing songs with my students and it was a success. I advise you to try these activities in your classroom as well.

a fun game that your beginer kids will enjoy both singing and learning. This song also teaches the grammar patterns "What color is....?"
