Let's move Around. I pick this one as I consider that moving while learning is directly related to proper language learning.

In addition, talking about songs such as "Swim I can swim", we should take into account that we are encouraging our students to be engaged in a pronunciation activity in an indirectly way.

Above all, playing Simon Says, it's a perfect tool to develop english skills while having the time of their lives.

MUSIC&ENGLISH TOGETHER:
I have chosen this activity because I think that is very important to relate English with other subjects because this way, kids can see that English is not only a subject, but it is much more.

The fact to relate this to music is very interesting, because it is a subject which encourage and motivate children. The combination of these two disciplines gives the teachers a huge opportunity to promote English to the little ones.

We can’t forget that the objective of both, music and English language, is to communicate something, so if we combine them, we can create a big platform for the communication. Moreover, it is a very complete activity, because it gives students multiples expression ways.

To sum up, it is a very funny, dynamic and complete activity which gives you the opportunity to teach English to the kids in a way that they don’t realize that and we also get that they comunicate with their classmates in English.

PD: I don't know why Padlet don't let me edit my last post, so I have had to copy it again for edit it.

I chose “Are you scared of monsters? because I think this activity is very complete.

They first present a song that shows monsters and numbers so they can also learn it. Then, they put a video of "Monsters Inc." a monster movie for kids that it could be funny for the children. After that, they propose a singing and dancing activity to make the task more dynamic for them. Finally they put a video of manual activities that the students have done in their class and the link where all the people can find how make paper samples and costumes.

I think it can be motivating for kids because it’s much better than sitting in a chair reading a book. Children could find it quite funny and they can enjoy the class and have a good time while they are learning English.

I have chosen this activity because it seemed very complete. From an idea: the monsters; many concepts, skills and competencies are working on.
All starts with a short introduction to the concept. The monsters are introduced so that the children become familiar with them. From there, different resources are offered to work on the idea: a piece of film, a song and a story.
The three resources are very dynamic. This is so that students don't believe learning as boring, but as something natural.
Finally, some last activities to do at home with families are presented. They are very fun games that help turn all the information into meaningful learning.
I really liked the final idea of creating your own monster, as this enhances creativity. Also, for the more daring children, they are encouraged to give a little explanation about the monster they have created.
It's appreciated how teachers take into account that not all children have the same level or the same abilities and offer many different alternatives.

I have chosen this activity because I reckon the only actionable way to learn English is not only listening to it but practising and speaking.

With “The poem song” children are going to sing the song all together and, as it is really simple and easy, they will remember the lyrics in a short period of time.

As children love music, listening to a song and sing will make them enjoy a lot learning English, in this way it will become a pretty meaningful learning and will encourage and motivate them a lot.

Moreover, songs and poems give a lot of vocabulary and new words, so that those activities are really communicative. Also, in terms of speaking, they help a lot because of the phonological awareness.

To sum up, this activity is fun and complete and gives the opportunity to learn English in a dynamic way.

I have chosen this activity called “Music & English Together” because I strongly believe that children learn better while they are having fun, as it is while singing, dancing or creating music.

It starts with a karaoke session where children will be invited to sing a few famous songs. This activity also gives them the opportunity to be creative and to create their music. They will be able to make their own instruments, such a flute. Moreover, for those who prefer technologies, this activity provides a digital tool called “Song maker” where they can combine different notes to make their songs and melodies.

The aim goal of this project is that young learners use english in an spontaneous and natural environment. Moreover, I think that children should do this at home with their family, so they can help each other and have a good time together.

There are different ways to use English and to be communicative, and in my opinion, singing is a perfect way to do both things.

I have chosen this activity because it looks so funny for the children and it seems they can work lots of things with it.
The activity is about monsters and provides some different songs and a clip from a movie that is so funny so children can enjoy it.
With the songs children can work not only English but Maths (there is a song that counts to 10 and then from 10 to 0), also they can move with another song that explian that there is a monster jumping and doing different things. Children could imitate whta the monster does and they will enjoy a lot the song.
Also the teacher propose some activities that look dynamic so children won't be bored while doing them.

I have chosen this activity because I believe that children should move while learning.

In all the videos the children learn new vocabulary through movement and play. Also, it may be easier for them to remember what they learn because actions that need to be done are repeated many times. In addition, they can repeat what is being said in the video and thus practice their pronunciation.

The Simon Says game seems to me to be a good way to learn through movement and play because students have to be attentive to whether or not they have to do what they have said.

I have chosen this activity because you can work on vocabulary and listening with just one activity. Also because I like to play bingo , it's quite exciting so I think kids will have a good time too. Besides, I have found very interesting the second part of the activity, which  is to do your own book with pictures of yourself, so kids will have a product, their own product, at the end of the activity and maybe it's more motivating for them.

I have chosen this activity about the book "brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?". The story is about a narrator who asks different animals what they see; the animals respond that another animal is looking at them. The animals are described in terms of color: a brown bear, a red bird, a yellow duck, and a blue horse.
Therefore, through the story vocabulary about animals and colors are introduced jointly to the children in a simple but imaginative way,
Also, there is a song about the story that allows the teacher to work on repeating all this therms together rhythmically  in a very fun context. So, I think it's a very interesting activity that can help students learn while having fun!

I've chosen this activity because is related with emocions (tired, angry, happy, etc.) and in this way children know how they feel. It's important that they know how to express themselves and verbalize the emocions.

I chose this activity because from the video of the monster story you can take the opportunity to do many activities, and one of them it’s in the link below. Children can learn vocabulary and talk to each other about the parts of their face  and finding it out together. In addition, innovative activities can be created, such as drawing their own monster and describing it with basic features, so that you can learn on this specific vocabulary visually and communicatively.

I have chosen this activity because it seems to me a very good way to start a class. With this song children can interact with each other and learn some vocabulary.
Two years ago I went for a week to a school as a "teacher", and I was in p3 course. Children sang and danced this song in their English classes.
They can learn to identify their emotions and how they feel. They could also learn to know how others feel.
In my opinion, this is a good song to prepare some new activities related with emotions.

I have chosen this activity because I believe that the best way to teach is using dynamic activities that involve movement.

Children have a lot of energy and we must to take advantage of that for achieve better learning. I consider that it is impossible for a child to learn a language based on worksheets and repetition. The students should have fun, they should associate their movements with concepts in English. In this activity there are several videos that teach daily concepts of the child in English while they dance. This is very important because they will be able to use those words at home.

The last video of the activity consists of “Simon Says” game. I think it’s a good option to improve concentration and better listening skills.

I have chosen this activity because I think that it's very important to children learn to describe and it's a funny way to do it.

They also start to get more vocabulary and, they could use their creativity and imagination.

I choose this activity because I think that songs are a very good way of learning. For example, with this song they can learn basic expressions in English like "Hello or "How are you" and how to say how they feel.
Also, they can enjoy singing and being with their friends in class.

I have chosen this activity of task 4 ‘Let’s move around’ because I think that in those primary ages, moving while learning,  is a key to achieve good child development in all aspects.

Furthermore, focus on a meaningful way to learn English must be our objective as teachers, and this task takes this way, putting aside a mechanic learning of English and introducing vocabulary to kids trough a funny and entertaining way of learning.

To conclude, I put the link of the video of  “Simon says “ which I find very interesting for kids because they can enjoy the class while they are learning words indirectly. I’m sure that most of the students would remind these words in a better way because of the song than if they had to study these words in a mechanic way.

Hi again! Today we're discussing one of the quarantine activites that la Vitxeta designed for their 1st year kids.
My favorite on by far was Let's move around, since it involves lot's of movement in addition to the content itself. It has many activities such as a video which works with animal vocabulary, a Simon says gameplay proposal...But my favourite activity is the one where you play a song where the kid can make movements according to the words or actions that are sung(jumping when it says jump!)
In my opinion these kind of activities are nice because it also involves kinesthetic learners!
This is the link to the activity: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JiqNhMpJjfLkLr5Q-uc31sX7SpluEP2Y/view

TASK 6 -> STORY: THE BALLOON

Personally, I think this activity is my favorite because, although the activity is made to be done at home, students can be in touch with the teacher through a video. In the video the teacher insist some vocabulary words that can be difficult for students to understand and she repeats them.
The teacher get the students attention in an easy way through the interpretation of the different characters in the story.
Thanks to this, students can understand the facts that are happening in the story

TASK 3 - HEAD, SHOULDERS, KNEES AND TOES. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkL8j0wIRf8)

I choose this task because I think that if you teach body parts or anything, from a song the children will remember it (I still remember this song from when I was a child!). Moreover, it’s a very dynamic and fun way to learn.

You can learn the song with the teachers at school and when you get home you sing it to your parents pointing to each body part. So, they also see that this is what you are learning. On the other hand, if they showed you everything with tokens, you wouldn't tell them.

I've decided for this activity called "My clown" that consist on creating an online book in which kids describe the clown they have created. By adding pictures of their drawing process they are asked to describe how their clown are.
It may seem a very simple activity but the combination of having to imagine how your clown is and drawing it, using TIC sources and using physical vocabulary makes from a simple activity a complex one that involves many different ranges, improving them and also working in different areas assure kids motivation for at least on them.
This activity is suggested for grade four even if it seems a bit easy I think it's great since each kid is able to add as much things as he/she wants so there are no limits for those ones who get more involved with the activity.

# data[].attributes.body
I have choosen “Let’s move around “ because I think it’s a good way to learn English in a dynamic and fun way.
First, using the game of the animals it’s such a good idea because you can introduce the vocabulary in an oral form and in the same way in a visual form. Also, learning while you are playing facilitates  meaningful learning.
Then, with the songs the kids are more motivated. Lots of times they are sitting in class but with this activity they move their bodies, they sing and they learn at once. Moreover, learning by imitating is an easy way to improve.
To sum up, “Simon says “ is an action game so as children play, they will learn the names of body parts and more words.

# data[].attributes.body
First of all, I liked that she makes a video, because for children it is much more visual. When she explain the story she has used many gestures. She has used a good intonation.In this way if a studient doesn’t understand what she is saying, it can be easier for him.It is a good idea to put down the story with drawings and little writing.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I think the activity of the ballon story i'ts the best.

The first reason is that the children have two resources to listen to the story, through a video or through a written story, also illustrated.

The second reason is that in the video, the teacher makes many expressive gestures in order that the kids can follow and understand the story.

Finally, while they are listening to a story, they are also learning a lot of vocabulary that the teacher repeats throughout the story.

For all this reasons I have chosen this activity.

# data[].attributes.body
All the activities are so interesting, but I have chosen this one because I think that working with the emotions is essential. Moreover, this is an activity that is usually done at the beginning of the class, so it's a good way to start.
Finally, I want to say that when I was doing the Practicum, children started English lessons with this song and they loved it.
