What is it?

Songs are a very important resource to use in the EFL teaching. With them, children can learn and have fun at the same time.

This blog will help you finding didactic songs for your lessons.

Genkienglish

The website Genkienglish.net/songs.htm is a great source for teachers.


It has lots of TPR songs. Each song comes with a link were you can hear it, a flash movie with attractive picture for children, instructions for the basic movements (like in every TPR song), games to work the vocabulary, flashcards,  a lesson plans and printable colouring pages.


It gives you the opportunity to download some of the songs and to buy the whole CD.




The website recommends to work with a "three step plan":
1) Teach the new words.

2) Teach the song "a capella" (no music)

3) Introduce the Genki music on the CD

But it's not just singing. Each song has gestures or actions to make them even better. Click the song titles to the left to see the lesson plans.
