Songs for elementary adults
|
|
I work with adults but it �s elementary level and I think it isn �t easy to find simple songs to teach basic vocabulary. I �ve done some research and chose these songs (feel free to share some more):
Songs for adults:
- hello, goodbye (The Beatles)
- Hello little girl (The Beatles)
� Our house, (madness)
� Wonderful world
� Colours Donovan
� April come she will
� It�s Friday I�m in Love
� I can see clearly now
� I�m singing in the rain
� moonshadow Cat Stevens
� Peter Gabriel I have the touch
� Penny Lane (body, colours)
� She�s not just a pretty face
� A day in the life (The Beatles)
� A well respected man (the kinks)

So nice of you to share this list. Perhaps there are members who can share their lists with you, too. I can �t say I �ve made such precise lists as you, but I can always add Frank Sinatra, because his singing diction is perfect, so I often use his songs as dictations. My favourites have been Fly Me to the Moon, Love and Marriage and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. |

readingaol,
I have posted a list of song suggestions divided by topic and level of proficiency. Unfortunately I didn �t have time to update the list during the past year. I �d love to have more suggestions, so feel free to use the same idea I had and make a worksheet with your song suggestions. I �ll be the first one to download it!
:-)

And what about ?... "All together now" ... to learn the alphabet, simple commands, colors, numbers, and to say I love you, too!....:)

Thanks for sharing!
Present Simple & Present Continuous (Jonas Brothers: Burning up)
Past Simple & Past Continuous (Jonas Brothers: Out of this world)
Nowadays students love Jonas Brothers and I�m sure they will love these songs!
