Mis amigos Pooh y Tigger
I've been having a little look at Youtube resources again, and, inspired by the session last week on teaching Infants languages, I've found some sweet little videos featuring Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too! Now, Winnie is always a winner in my books - I just love that bear of very little brain! - but talking Spanish is even better.
A couple of ideas.
This clip is called Estrellita abrillar and is a version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (I know other words). The story seems to be that Lampi, the Heffalump can't sleep and they sing to him. However, his Mummy sings different words so he sings them to the friends then goes to sleep. A cute little story in a song in just over a minute.
Estrellita ¿cómo estás?
me preguntas ¿qué serás?
en el cielo brillas tu
como un diamante es tu luz.
Estrellita ¿cómo estas?
me preguntas ¿qué serás?
Lindo lampi ¿cómo estás?
No te quejes; duerme ya
La noche es para soñar
Pon su trompa, descansar.
Qué se acabe mal humor
y no ronques por favor.
Lindo lampi ¿cómo estás?
Es mejor que duermas ya
Then there's this clip called Es la hora de pensar and is a little song to signal thinking time. I think it would be a lovely cue to send children to their desks to work on whatever they are doing, or as a signal to change activity. And not just in language lessons but as one of those 'embedded' ways of making language an everyday, incidental thing.
Any other ideas people have found?
Try this one for the days of the week.

I even use this with my adult beginners and they can't get the tune out of their minds. The little mouse is very cute too!
