SONGS, GAMES AND STORIES

I am a Kindergarten teacher in a School in Súria ( Catalunya, Spain).

This blog is only a small collection of some of the resources that we can found in internet and we really hope that you, your students or your children enjoy and learn with all the books-videos, games and songs.

We hope that the children will learn English so that they can communicate with other people.

As you can see in our English-Show blog we use songs and we think in their psychological and linguistic benefits. Songs are an example of expression and performance. They are a medium through which children can develop confidence, develop micro-skills and learn language. The value of the song comes through repetition. The song becomes friendly, familiar and enjoyable experience. When singing a song, each child is part of a group. Singing together is an act of social binding -a group of individuals becomes a single voice. Children find psychological comfort in being part of a group. Songs are stress-free. If a child is singing as part of a group, any errors in her/his individual performance are covered by the other singers. Every child is able to participate and every child is able to contribute. A song is also a very good pronunciation exercise. In learning a foreign language, children need to learn new psycho-motor skills to produce sounds which are different from their mother tongue. A song or an action-song is an opportunity to develop and practise these skills in a low-stress context.

We hope you enjoy it!
