 Vi piacerebbe far ascoltare ai vostri figli canzoni inglesi (o meglio, imparare la lingua cantando) ma non sapete da dove cominciare? A chi non è capitato di andare su youtube con esiti alla fin fine per lo meno dubbi? Troppi canali, troppe canzoni in generali spesso accompagnate da una scarsa qualità. I prodotti free spesso ci fanno disperare. E prima di trovare quelli giusti ci arrendiamo inserendo il solito “il coccodrillo come fa”. Che sia ben chiaro. Noi non che siamo contrari ai coccodrilli, ma è chiaro che avvicinare i propri figli alla cultura anglofona a volte risulta difficile. Ecco perché abbiamo pensato di condividere con voi le 5 canzoni che un inglese (ora insegnante) continua a canticchiare anche da grande. Se ve la cavate bene con l’inglese, leggete cosa ci racconta Jess. Altrimenti cliccate sui link per ascoltare le rhythms selezionate, molte delle quali sono così dette action songs, ovvero canzoni da accompagnare con azioni. Provate ad applicare queste piccole ricette molto efficaci, ovvero giocare cantando, con i vostri figli. E fateci sapere se vi piacciono! The top 5 nursery rhymes I can't stop singing. I am an English native speaker and teacher living in Italy and I grew up in a little town in Southern England. Nursery rhymes are a big part of our English culture and my mother and her mother etc have always been strong believers in the power of traditional song and rhyme. My mother herself has worked as a teacher with small children from before I was even born. Hence why I myself have grown with a love of these time-honored English tales and songs, and since becoming a teacher myself have used them continuously. Here are just a few of the most catchy and fun inducing nursery rhymes that always come to mind: 1. Ring - a Ring O’Roses Written around the 15th century with a memorable melody and fun actions to engage in together creating a group circle. It is always very popular with the children and has been passed down many generations for this very reason. 2. Baa, Baa, Black Sheep It’s perfect for a baby because nearly everything in it is easy to pronounce. And what little guy can resist the idea of snuggling up to a big, fluffy lamb? 3. This Little Piggy One of the most interactive nursery rhymes, “This Little Piggy” is the one that’s all about using their little toes! Wiggle one toe for each “little piggy” and the baby will be reduced to giggles. Every. Time. 4. London’s Burning This one may sound strange and plays into the historical tradition of preserving history in nursery rhymes, it talks about the biggest London fire in 1666. It is very short but has the perfect melody to be sung in rounds (when one person starts to sing and then the next a bar later etc and it harmonises) so it is a fantastic way to get kids and parents singing together in harmony as a little choir. 5. The Grand Old Duke Of York Superb for slightly older toddlers to participate in, this rhyme has a lot of actions within it to create a game using “up, down” making it very bilateral. The game goes that the children sit up or down when each word is sung and it really gets them interacting with the words and actions together with the song.
