Songs

Why should we use songs in the English classroom?

Sample songs

If you're happy and you know it
This is the way we wash our hands
Ten green bottles hanging on the wall
Miss Polly had a dolly
The wheels on the bus
London's burning
Are you sleeping? (Frère Jacques)
My grandfather's clock
Three blind mice
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Old Macdonald had a farm
The alphabet song
Mary had a little lamb
London bridge is falling down
10 little Indians
Que sera, sera (whatever will be, will be)
Did you ever see a lassie?
I know an old lady
