Repetition provides a great opportunity to focus on different aspects of a song to teach new vocabulary.
Change your flashcards, play new games or use different gestures.
Kids love mixing it up.
10 Little Elves
10 Little Elves is a perfect song for this.
It can be used to work on a variety of vocabulary themes.
Of course, it is great for practicing or reviewing counting and numbers.
How do elves make different toys?
What are they making?
What toys do you want?
Next you’ve got the option to focus on action verbs.
Action verbs are fun to teach because they are so…well, active.
Students love demonstrating or gesturing out the different words.
Then, give each student a small piece of paper on which one of the action words is written.
The elves make groups according to their actions and stand together.
(They can also ask the teacher for help.)
Sing 10 Little Elves one more time, this time with each group singing and performing its verse.
