This is the last song we've learned this school year. It also involves a lot of acting, snapping fingers and things like that. It's great for revising clothes and practising WAS/WERE.
I first focused my pupils on the pictures illustrating the song. I told them the song was in the past and then asked them a few questions about the pictures (What can you see? Was it a nice day? What was the weather like? Were grandpa and grandson happy?) Since there were a few pictures in the song instead of words, I asked my pupils to match them with the given words. Then, they listened and checked their answers and finally I asked them to stand up, show and repeat the song.
Here are the lyrics:
Chorus:
Hat, coat, sweater and scarf,
It was cold and windy in the park, cold and windy...
It was grey and cloudy,
There wasn't any sun,
There weren't many children,
It wasn't much fun.
Chorus
There wasn't a rainbow,
There wasn't any snow,
Grandpa and I were ready to go.
Chorus
Back at home,
It was much better,
With a hot drink,
And my big red sweater.
Chorus
III5
