Three Sheep Songs
Easter season is a good time to teach these three nursery rhymes: Baa Baa Black Sheep, Little Bo Peep, and Mary Had a Little Lamb. There are lots of videos of these songs on Youtube or Youkou (China) and the kids love to sing them. I used this worksheet as a summary review close activity. Good vocabulary building and verb tense practice.

I found that my Chinese students always "translated" the upper case word bank into lower case so I changed the puzzle to start with. Also, I used football instead of soccer; I put some two word...
