On previous occasions we talked about the importance of play during early childhood education. The game favors the development of the social skills, mental and physical, besides being a natural and spontaneous way of knowing the world for small.

As we saw in the previous post in this topic trying, There are many types of games that we can use for teaching-learning kids, one of these types are the corporal games, that are included in the songs, topic that will be discussed at today's post.

For everyone knows that the songs are one of the most used language teaching in early childhood education methods. The songs are very attractive for small because they are usually easy to remember and, further, are usually associated to a dance, something that kids love.

Many times parents do not know what songs to put your kids, or simply do not have the time to find and download. Obviously you have other options like buying the "typical" compilation of children's songs, but, as the goal is to expend as little as possible while optimizing the learning of young, the propongo 68 organized by theme songs that are sure to delight your children.

The topics I choose are usually usually work in the classroom Children, obviously you have many more types and thousands of songs that you can use but I have to limit the number one way or another.

I will not put too much on analyzing the content of each song, basically what I intend with this post is that you have a compilation of songs to practice English with the kids. Just have to click on the song title and will go direct to the same. If you also want to expand, I recommend that you seek Super Simple Songs, songs are almost all subjects and are phenomenal. You also have Pancake Manor, They are super marchosas and I personally love me.
