Speaking with a Song

This activity is appropriate for any cycle of primary education because is very simple to adapt, but in this case, we work with children in 3^rd grade of primary education (8 years old). It consist in practice the expressions and vocabulary learned in the unit in a funny way.

The teacher put in the touch board or black board, these expressions they are going to use, for example, "greetings": "Hello!, How are you?, What is your name?, How old are you?..." and the answer; "Hi!, Fine! And you?, Not bad, My name is... I´m 10 years old..." 

After this, the teacher turns on the music and all the children have to walk around the class. When the music is stopped, they stop also and they ask the questions on the blackboard to the partner. Then, when the music continues, they continue walking in the class. 

This game has different rounds, for example, the fist time the teacher stops the music, children have to say: "hi, hello!, how are you?"; the next time, they ask about the names and the age; one more time, when the music is turned off they can ask about hobbies or favorite food... 

It is an activity that allows many possibilities for practice the vocabulary. And also they are using the speaking and interacting between each others.
