Songs that Support Speaking

I created fun songs for you to use in your classroom.

Subscribe to my channel: Quantum Teaching Kids EFL

Each song has two characters talking so students can take roles! The role of the boy and the role of the girl. 

You can sing, do karaoke, play The Voice, group competitions or
"boys" against "girls" etc.

The next step would be to start speaking the dialogue in the song. Teachers can initiate pair work, puppet shows and presentations.

The next step would be to change the words in the song. This is the step that will get your students from memorizing words to thinking 

 about the vocabulary and the syntax. 

Another option is to do a Eurovision contest with the new words. That way, the judges can also "judge" according to the lyrics of the 

song.
