New Kids Songs

https://www.coolenglish.net/all-subcategories/music-kids

Hey everybody, John from Cool English with another fun activity to share. I am starting to add children's songs to the music section of the site. Currently, I have “You’re Welcome” from Moana and “Let It Go” from Frozen. I will be adding more shortly and would love some requests. As always, there are multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank options with links to the lyric, official, and karaoke videos. Finally, I have a downloadable PDF if you want to print it out for your students.

I love using songs in my classes as they always liven up the lesson, and I feel they are so easily adaptable to many levels of students. I also like to go over little common expressions or pronunciations in the songs. Depending on how much time you have, do the whole song or just a few pages, and assign the rest as homework. You can easily send a link to their email or WhatsApp.

First, I use either the multiple-choice or fill-in-the-blank activity depending on the level. I either have the students write the answers or tell me verbally by taking turns.

Second, I use the lyric video. I play a line or two and pause it when the lyrics disappear. Then I have the students repeat the line. I find this a fun way to work with memory forming and pronouncing phrases.

Third, I use the original video. I play a line or two and pause it. I ask the students to repeat the phrase alternating between students each line or halfway through them.

Finally, I use the karaoke video. I ask the students to sing along either as a group or taking turns, one or two lines each.

Of course, you can use this any way you want, and please let me know if you have other ideas.

John
