We are going to suggest some videos of a website which have a lot
of resources and materials that teachers can use to teach English!

In my opinion, this listening activity is very useful to learn ‘The
transport’ topic; such as train, car, boat,etc. Furthermore, it’s a catchy
song because the verses are very repetitive, so this song can be sung by
young children. This song is suitable for lower Primary Education because the
grammar structures and the vocabulary are easy.
This activity is suitable for the third cycle of Primary Education because
the contents and the vocabulary are more difficult. Despite this, I would
recommend this activity to learn ‘our solar system’ through a song
instead of using the textbook. Also, personally, the children would prefer
listening to a song and learning the characteristics of the planets in a
playful.

I chose this activity because I think it is important that our students learn about other cultures and customs, so I think it's a good idea to do an activity that tells the story of an Islamic party, as in this case.
I chose this second activity because I found very interesting because I didn’t know the existence of infantile news. Besides it shows them simple and familiar situations to children such as game or picnic.
As halloween is coming soon, I have chosen these listening
activities to celebrate the eve of this day. At the beginning of both
activities the children have to do a puzzle. the first activity is a song
called ”the scary skeleton”, in which children will revise some parts of the
body and some action verbs. The second activity is a horror story called “the
haunted house” and with it children can revise some vocabulary like different
parts of a house and animals.
I recommend asking students to wear halloween costumes and decorate the
class with halloween staff the day you are going to do these activities in
class, it will be a very funny and scary morning!

I suggest using these listening tasks, because I think they can be very
useful and dynamic in an English class. They are related with the topic of food,
so I have chosen the “kids talk” video to introduce the topic to the students.
I think it can be a good point, that learners listen to others English
children, thus, they probably awaken interest to know the new language to meet
new English friends and, also, they will be aware of the importance of know
other languages in order to understand other people.
Also, I’ve chosen a song, because I think it can be a fantastic way to
learn different meals, in an enjoyable way. We can change some verses of
the song and sing other meals which children like it.

I think that it is a good
resource for the children. With it they will developed the skill of listening.
In it the children can see and send videos of the children’s news and they can
play games and watch clips. The page is very visual and it makes children their
attention.
Moreover I choose that resource because the children have to develop
writing and reading skills. In it the children will have to construct
sentences, learn vocabulary or read texts.

I’ve chosen this activity because in my opinion the topic is very attractive
for children and at least it is a bit different. In this one they listen a
story and also can read it. In addition, there are more activities.
With this activity they can play and practice pronunciation in a funny way.
we can use the tongue-twisters to improve and encourage the use of the
language making a play and comparing with spanish ones.
