Hands up, hands down. Stand up, and bow. Sit down, sit down. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle your nose. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle your toes. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle your cheeks. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle your ears. And clap! (Repeat Chorus) Shake, shake, shake your head. Shake, shake, shake your hands. Shake, shake, shake your arms. Shake, shake, shake your legs. And cheer! Come on, louder! (Repeat Chorus) And cheer! |
How to teach ...
Simply stand up, sit down etc. after the music. "Sit down" is repeated twice on purpose, on the second one you raise your hands, just to make sure the kids are listening and not just copying your movements! As usual do the song without the music at first, then bring in the CD to bring the class to life.
In the "clap" and "cheer" section raise your hand and the kids raise their volume. Do this a few times and you'll be able to quieted the kids down at will by simply lowering your arms. I use this in lessons of even 100s of kids and it works a treat.
There's also an Extended Remix version with extra lyrics, simply shake or wiggle the appropriate body parts. "Wiggle your ears" is always a good one!
You can either do the strict TPR ( Total Physical Response) way of doing this, which is to just have the kids do the actions without speaking. But if you only have one lesson a week or less, I'd really recommend getting the kids to say the actions out loud as they do them, it gets them used to speaking out loud, lets you check their pronunciation and raises the atmosphere of the class no end.
See for yourself ...
To see how well this works with your children, try teaching yourself some Japanese with the same song!
Be warned it will stick in your head!

How to Teach English Conversation Class
How to Teach English: Tips for Teaching Private or Group Conversational EFL/ESL Classes
Be Prepared: even for a purely conversational class, at minimum bring a pen and paper (to write down mistakes) and some conversation topics. While sometimes a conversation will flow organically from 'What's new?' into something interesting, it's good to have a list of about four or five interesting questions for when there is a lull in the conversation. Having a dictionary can also be helpful.
Don't Talk Too Much: although some students are happy listening to their teacher's wonderful English, they can do this at home with a DVD. In class, keep your talk time down and aim to have the student(s) do 70% of the speaking. Ask open-ended questions instead of Yes/No questions. Use a "Tell me more" approach. In group settings, have students talk together, while you play the role of a moderator. Guide the conversation without becoming the focus of it.
Balance Your Correction: use a combination of correcting students as they speak and writing down their errors on paper. Too much correction when the student is speaking can be discouraging and disrupt the flow of conversation. If the student is making many errors, note the major mistakes on paper while listening. Review the mistakes at the end of the conversation.
Don't Be Afraid to Say You Don't Know: if you can't answer a tough grammar question, tell the students you'll look into it and get back to them. Students will appreciate your effort and honesty. You will also benefit as a teacher by learning about what you can't already explain confidently.
Review: the problem with no-textbook conversation classes is the lack of structure. Topics change each week and students quickly forget what was previously covered. To alleviate this problem, review the most important mistakes/vocab/pronunciation issues from the previous lesson at the beginning of the next class. If you're already noting down the student's mistakes in class, have him/her keep these notes and bring them next class so you can review them. After a certain number of classes, make a quiz on all past key language items. (You can also ask the student to make sentences with the new vocabulary items in the notes as homework.)

Care: students enjoy class more if they feel you are interested in what they say. English class can have therapeutic value because it gives students the opportunity to speak with someone who actually listens. While being attentive as a teacher, be supportive and understanding as a human being.
