Today I’m going to tell
you about something that help me a lot to catch the attention of the kids, the
emotions =). The few time that I have taught, I can see in my students that
the way they feel is the way they work.
So, at the beginning of
the class I sing and ask them about the way they feel, I ask them “How are you?”
and sometimes with a big smile on their face they answer me “sad”, “angry” or “tired” and
it’s pretty funny, the first time that I saw that I thought they haven’t any idea
of what they were saying but when I asked them to act it out they did it right.
Often, we sang a song
called "If you’re happy" and it goes like this:
If you’re happy, happy,
happy 😀
Clap your hands
(X3)
If you’re angry, angry,
angry 😠
Stop your feed
(X3)
If you’re sad, sad, sad
Cry boo boo
(X3)
If you’re surprise,
surprise, surprise
Raise your hands (Here you can scream and they really love it)
(X3)
If you’re tired, tired,
tired
Go to sleep
(X3)
