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.

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.

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.

This is a good song to teach students the shapes connecting them with colors and numbers

Another listening activity with a song. It's similar as the previuos one. Watch it and make ur own judgements. But be sure your kids will like by all means!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These exercises are good for developing students' listening, reading, and writing skills. In addition to these skills, it also develops students' vocabulary. While listening and watching the songs or a video poem, the students will have opportunity to write down the missing words in a given space and later on check the answers. I used this type of exercises with my students and to tell the truth they liked them very much. This type of exercises can be used at the end of the lesson or in the middle of it, when teacher notice some boredom during the lesson. They play as a good refresh. After listening the song, the teacher may discuss it with students (as I did) or even translate. There are also some words at the end of each song and students may learn them as well.

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.

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

Try the New "Make a Face" Song Along with the increase in International Understanding Education in Japan, there is also a strong desire to preserve traditional Japanese activities. It's for this reason that in the New Year you'll probably find Japanese schools teaching lots of traditional games.

If you want to have fun and learn face parts in English, this game could be helpful. This game is better for kids, and beginner levels.

Kids can listen to and read a story in funny settings (and also through listening to songs). The story is about how Boowa helps his new friend Kwala find her family.This trick can be used for teaching kids travelling by developing their reading and listening skills. The story consists of 13 chapters, so it's better to teach them during a couple of classes.

This is a great activity designed for children to listen to a story about firefighters and then do an interactive activity by learning new vocabulary connected with clothes. I have tried this activity with children who really enjoyed it and learnt new words connected wit clothes. Besides, they have learnt a song about firefighters.

I used this video/audio file to teach my 9 years old niece and her 8 years old friend English prepositions of places. The interesting thing was that I didn't tell them that they were going to learn prepositions . I just played the video clip and went away letting them watch and enjoy it. After watching the video clip several times, I noticed that they were learning prepositions by discussing the video clip and translating prepositions into Armenian language. Hence, I found this video clip to be very useful for teaching prepositions to children in an entertaining way.

I used this video/audio file for teaching 15 children from AUA EEC classes to describe weather (i.e. it is rainy, it is cloudy, it is snowy, it is sunny and etc). This video/audio file helped me to teach children in an enjoyable way. This activity worked well and all the students learned the target material properly.

The music option of this site is really interesting for my 5 years old daughter although she can't understand many dialogs. Suitable interaction between software and kids make them motivated and enable the kids to keep learning in an imaginary fun world. It's one of the most user friendly software I have ever used for kids. Listen to a story is another option which can be used for elementary level students to enhance their listening skill.
