| "Going Shopping" by Richard Graham How much is that flower? How much is that flower? How much is that car? How much is that car? How much is that toy? How much is that toy? How much is that doll's house? How much is that doll's house? It's 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, 12 Dollars. It's 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, 12 Dollars. How much is that robot? How much is that robot? How much is that football? How much is that football? How much is that ice cream? How much is that ice cream? How much is that cake? How much is that cake? Ad lib: I donft know! Letfs go and ask! (Repeat Chorus) |
There's a lot in this theme, but the repetition and melody in the song
make a lot easier to handle. Unlike the other themes, the video is more
of a "setting the scene" type of activity, it's in the song and
picture book that the kids learn the new language.
As with the other Genki English numbers themes, counting on your hands
is a good way to help remember the chorus part.
Game
I quite like this game! You need one or two dice to play. First of all
everyone chooses a toy or item they'd like to buy. Then everyone shakes
the dice in turn. This is the price they'll have to pay for the item. The
person who got the lowest price wins the item! It's lots of fun and getting
the kids to add up the dice ( for elementary school and above ) is great
maths practice.
On the CD we also explain the game rules in Japanese ( just in case!),
and run through several variations of the game.
Picture Book: "A Cool Present"
The kids are out looking for a present for Mum. After asking at several
shops, what do they decide on? An ice cream! I'm sure you can imagine the
punchline!
As with the other Kids English themes, once the kids have learnt the song
they can easily understand the picture book, even in one 45 minute lesson.
The ending is quite fun here, so it should get a nice laugh from the kids.
On the CD there are three recordings of the narration, chose the one according to the kids mood from "Parentese" ( really slow and clear), "Normal" or "Genki".
This theme is available in the Genki English "Kids English" set!
