Learn to sing English nursery rhymes on the road, I once stepped on the pit
How to learn English nursery rhymes?
Is it directly grinding the ears for children to listen? Will children sing after listening to it for a long time? I used to think so
When the child was 1-2 years old, I listened to hundreds of English nursery rhymes for him, and also bought rainbow rabbit "Sing Along Nursery Rhymes", Mother Goose and other picture books
I have to say that the rhythm of classic children's songs is really attractive, and the rhythm is strong, children like to listen to these songs, often take a little reading pen by themselves, point out the music, and dance with them
However, after a year, I found that the child would not speak the words in the song, and even he did not know the meaning of some of the lyrics, but would just hum a small piece of music along with the melody
That is to say, the child is familiar with the song, but very unfamiliar with the lyrics
Is the purpose of our children's songs to listen to is to learn a song for our children?
No, since you are learning "English nursery rhymes", children's songs must be learned, English must also be learned, how to learn?
After learning and groping for some methods on my own, I found that children now not only understand the meaning of the lyrics, but also adapt the lyrics themselves in life scenes, which is one of my enlightenment logs
Yonghong Enlightenment Log
Learning to sing nursery rhymes, I summarized the three steps
Step 1: By watching the children's song video, let the child know what the song is singing
For example, the children's song "Brush Your Teeth", you can first show the child a video animation, so that the child can roughly understand what the song is singing
By watching the animation, the child knows that the song is related to brushing teeth, and from beginning to end, the three little monsters are brushing their teeth in various ways
Step 2: Parents use TPR to let their children know what the words and phrases in it mean
After watching the electronic version of the animation in the first step, what is staged at this time is the parent live-action version of the animation, which is better and easier to be absorbed by the child
Brush your teeth up and down,
Brush your teeth round and round,
Brush your teeth from left to right,
Brush your teeth in the morning and night.
When parents sing this song to their children, they use the TPR way to do the corresponding actions, and add Chinese explanations when necessary, so that the children understand that up and down is up and down brushing, round and round is back and forth brushing, left to right is brushing from left to right, in the morning and night is to brush teeth in the morning and evening
After this explanation is finished, the whole is sung again, so that the child can make the whole song coherent
Step three: In the corresponding life scenes, sing and use the children's songs
This is the most important and crucial step, the essence of language is communication, although children's songs belong to a form of music, but in fact, many English children's songs are very lifelike, the sentences in it can be used in life scenes
Yesterday, Hao Hao and I were playing at home, and there were a lot of blocks and cards scattered on the ground
I said to Hao hao, "Let's sort out the toys together ~ Mom sorts out the cards, you sort out the blocks, okay?" You put the bricks in the vat~"
Then, I remembered a nursery rhyme I had just learned this week, "Clean up", which was about children sorting out their own toys, and in the children's song video, a teacher sang this song while the children sorted out their toys
This nursery rhyme fits the scene very well, so I sang it
Clean up, clean up
Everybody, let's clean up
clean up, clean up
Put your things away
Since he had watched the video before, he knew what this song was singing, and as soon as I sang in this situation, he immediately took action, and while I sang, Hao Hao sorted out the blocks, and it was done perfectly, 80 blocks, and he put them all into the barrels without landing
Three practical nursery rhymes are recommended
Here, I recommend a few children's songs to everyone, I use it myself, and I think it is particularly practical
The first song: Oxford potato "in the morning", this song is suitable for children to sing when they get up in the morning, the content is some things that children do when they get up in the morning, by singing this children's song, children can learn some common phrases and sentences
lyrics:
In the morning, I wake up 睡醒了
In the morning, I get out of bed 起床
In the morning, I wash my face 洗脸
In the morning, I eat breakfast 吃早餐
In the morning, I brush my teeth 刷牙
In the morning, I comb my hair 梳头
In the morning, I get dressed 穿衣服
In the morning, I go to school 去学校
The second song: "Brush Your Teeth", sung every morning and evening when brushing your teeth, this song also has a full version, if you are beginner, you can learn this short first
Brush your teeth up and down 上下刷
Brush your teeth round and round 来回刷
Brush your teeth from left to right 从左往右刷
Brush your teeth in the morning and night Brush in both morning and evening
The third song: "Put on your shoes", sung to children when they go out every day, this song can let children learn the names of some clothes, as well as some commonly used phrases, such as hurry up, let's go outside
Put on your shoes, your shoes, your shoes, your, shoes /jacket/hat/scarf Put on your shoes/coat/hat/scarf
Put on your shoes,
Let's go outside let's hang out
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry hurry up
