EDUCATIONAL SONGS
Autumn Song
Red leaves,
yellow leaves,
Orange and brown,
The leaves are on the trees,
The leaves are on the ground.
Brown leaves, orange leaves,
Yellow and gold,
The leaves are on the ground.
Now the leaves are very old.
Orange leaves, yellow leaves,
Gold and red.
The leaves are on the bonfire,
The bonfire’s gold and red.
Winter Song
It’s very cold
With snow and ice,
But we’re very happy,
Winter is nice.
Snowballs are fun
With snow on the ground.
We’ve got new ice skates
For the ice all around.
Look at the snowman
With
his funny round head
He’s got two black eyes
And his nose is red.
It’s very cold
With snow and ice,
But we’re very happy.
Winter is nice!
Spring Song
Sing a rainbow.
Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue.
I can sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow, too.
Listen with your eyes,
Listen with your eyes,
And sing everything you see.
You can sing a rainbow.
Sing a rainbow.
Sing along with me.
Summer Song
The sun is yellow,
The sky is blue.
Now it’s summer,
And the holidays too!
We play on the beach,
We swim in the sea.
There are boats and surfboards,
For my friends and me.
We sleep in a tent,
We have picnics in the sun.
We ride in the park.
And we have great fun.
The sun is yellow,
The sky is blue.
Now it’s summer,
And the holidays too!
Welcome to our school
Come and see where we live.
Come and see our street.
Come and see our nice, big school.
Come and see our swimming pool.
The bus goes to the seaside.
We go there for a treat.
Come and see where we live.
Come and see our street.
MEMORY ROUND (Frequency adverbs)
Materials: 3”x5” cards with a frequency adverb written on each
Dynamic: Whole class
Time: 20
minutes
Procedure: 1. Prepare one card for each student. The words should be large and in dark ink so that all the students will be able read them. Depending on the size of the class, you may have to duplicate cards or play in two rounds. (For example, divide the class in half and have the first group come to the front of the class. When they are finished, have the second group come up.)
FREQUENCY ADVERBS: always, almost always, usually, often, sometimes, frequently, generally, occasionally, seldom, rarely, never, almost never, hardly ever
2.
The students form a circle, either sitting or standing. Ask who has the best memory. Start with the person next to the volunteer so that the person who said he/she has the best memory will be last. (If you know who your weaker/quieter student is, start with him/her.)
3. Each student makes a sentence using his/her frequency adverb, but no writing is allowed at any time.
Examples: Never: I never eat fast food. Always: I always brush my teeth. Seldom: I seldom study for tests.
4. Holding the card with the frequency adverb toward the circle, the first student says his/her sentence. The second student says his/her sentence and repeats the first student’s sentence. The third student says his/her sentence and repeats the first two sentences, and so on around the circle until the last student, who says his/her sentence and repeats the sentences from everyone in the group. Don’t allow any writing, but do allow gestures and even one or two helpful words from the other students.

Example: Student 1: I never eat fast food. Student 2:
I always brush my teeth, and Jae never eats fast food. Student 3: I seldom study for tests, Akiko always brushes her teeth, and Jae never eats fast food. Student 4: I usually go to bed at 11, Maria seldom studies for tests, Akiko always brushes her teeth, and Jae never eats fast food.
SUGGESTION: You may want to choose a topic before playing so everyone’s sentences will relate to that topic.
11. BALL TOSS (Frequency adverbs)
Materials: Any soft ball or beanbag
Dynamic: Whole class
Time: 10 minutes
Procedure: 1. Arrange students in a circle, either standing or at their desks.
2. Ask a question using a frequency adverb, and toss the ball to a student.
Examples: Do you always eat breakfast before coming to class? How often do you wear jeans to class?
3. The student who catches the ball must answer, using a frequency adverb in a complete sentence. The same student then asks a question with a frequency adverb and tosses the ball to a classmate.
12. HOW OFTEN? (Frequency adverbs)
Materials: Worksheet 6
Dynamic: Pairs
Time: 20 minutes
Procedure: 1. Divide the class into pairs. Give each student a copy of the worksheet, and have students interview each other, writing the answers on their worksheet. Have the pairs work together to do Part 2.
2. Share answers from Part 1 with the entire class. Check the answers for Part 2 and discuss any incorrect ones with the group.
13. PICTURE SEARCH (Be/Have)
Materials: Magazines or catalogs
Dynamic:
Small groups
Time: 15 minutes

Examples: The man has a hat. The man is tall.
3. Have the groups read their sentences aloud while showing the class the pictures the sentences describe.
