ABC...


This is a post not only for the kiddies, but also for everybody at home. Spelling is quite important in the English language, so knowing the Alphabet is essential. There are many strategies and techniques to learn anything by core, and music is one of them.
Here you are a video of Sesame Street where Elmo gets some company to sing the ABCs. I wish you like it as much as I do! Turn up your speakers and sing along with Elmo. Just click on the image and ... A B C, A B C ...

Body parts

Hi there! How are you today? Have you finished your homework? Have you helped your parents with the housework? If so, you deserve to have a rest for a while ... or not! Come on, click on the image below and have fun with the Body Parts Games you can find on this website.



I strongly recommend you to play the Body Parts Word-O-Rama game. The show presenter, a penguin with a brown wig is so funny. You will need speakers to listen to this game. Pay attention to what this penguin says and follow its instructions. You can also read what you have to do on the top left part of the window. When you answer correctly, click on the "Next" button on the top right.
There are also other games, such as wordsearch, memory or matching games. Just have fun with the body parts vocabulary and keep learning English!

Papa Please Get The Moon For Me



Today I would like to share with all of you a video based on the book by Eric Carle, Papa Please Get Me The Moon For Me. It is very emotive an easy to understand for everybody, regardless your level of English. Turn up the volume of your computer, listen carefully to the narrator, and let the music flow through your senses. Papas, please, get the moon for you children. Children, don't forget to say thank you.
