Participants will learn my method for teaching with songs, and we will sing some Dream English songs together. Space is limited to 10 teachers.

Food is a very important topic in Children’s English Classes (ESL, EFL). The new Favorite Food Song teaches 10 food names. More below the video:
How to Teach
Pre-teach the vocabulary in the lyrics using flashcards, or pictures. Then, watch the video and sing the song with your students.
Lyrics
What’s your favorite food? (repeat)
I like hamburgers
I like hot dogs
I like pizza
I like eggs
What’s your favorite food? (repeat)
I like rice
I like salad
I like sandwiches
I like spaghetti
I like soup
I like cake
What’s your favorite food? (repeat)
After the song, you can practice the vocabulary by asking the students, “What is your favorite food?”
Flashcard Game
Put the food flashcards on the floor or table. The students ask the teacher, “What is your favorite food?” The teachers answers, “I like pizza” for example. The students who touches the pizza flashcard first wins the round. Ask each students their favorite food so that they all can have a turn answering.
I hope this is helpful! Be creative, and make a great class using your own ideas and I hope this song can be a part of what you do. Happy Singing!
