We have designed some activities to practice listening skills.

PRE-LISTENING

We have chosen some pictures to work with before playing te song. This is going to be useful to learn and/or review the vocabulary that the song is going to include. The teacher is going to ask for the name of the actions that apear in the pictures. Pupils are going to review listening and pronunciation related to these words.

After having our vocabulary connected to the correct pictures, we are going to ask some questions to introduce our song such as: Does anybody knows what the song is going to be about? This is going to take students attention and foster motivation to listen to the song. 

WHILE LISTENING

The teacher will play the song three times. The first time the song is played, pupils should just listen to it. The second chance is to make students sing together. During the last time, pupils will have to sing the song making gestures to show what they are singing.

AFTER LISTENING

The teacher is going to ask students individually to make a gesture that represent some of the vocabulary that we have gone through. Classmates will have to guess the words and put hands up to answer.
