What do you do?
by Richard Graham

What do you do? I'm a pilot. (x3)
What do you do? I'm a chef. (x3)
What do you do? I'm a farmer. (x3)
What do you do? I'm a teacher. (x3)

What do you do? And what is your job?
What do you do? And what is your job?

What do you do? I'm a doctor. (x3)
What do you do? I'm a student. (x3)
What do you do? I'm a fire fighter. (x3)
What do you do? I'm a police officer. (x3)

What do you do? I'm a carpenter. (x3)
What do you do? I'm a singer. (x3)
What do you do? I'm a dentist. (x3)

(Repeat Chorus x2)

In the classroom or at home ........

Whilst doing a gesture, the teacher says "I'm a pilot", one group repeats, then the other group repeats.  See who is the loudest!  

The last line is left blank so that kids can shout out what they want to be when they grow up!


Recommended Game 1:

Name card game


Recommend Game 2: Karuta!

Do the "What do you want to be?" theme first, teach the word "but" then try this game to mix the two together and make some very impressive English - all from just 2 lessons of work!

This kids love it - as do teachers!







Worksheet:

For 2 or 3 players. Each player has a different coloured pen and chooses which job they'd like to start on. They draw a mark on this space with their pen, and also put down a coin to show where they are. One player rolls the dice. They can then move that number of places either left or right. If they can say "I'm a ..." plus the name of the occupation marked in the new space, they mark this space with their pen and move their coin here. The next person has a go. The winner is the person who has marked all the spaces!


On the CD....

On the CD there is the music (if you put it into a normal CD player), and the software section (if you put it in a suitable PC or Mac). As with the other songs there is a fun pronunciation section for learning the words, a mini-lesson to learn the song "a cappella" and a groovy quiz.





This song can be found on CD vol. IV !
