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.

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. 

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.

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.

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 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.
