Young learners of English (ESL, EFL) love to interact by saying, “No!” For example, if I hold up a flashcard of a dog and say “banana” the students will either say “no” or “dog”. This always comes with a lot of laughter. The Walking, Walking Song is based on this idea. More below the video:
Give the idea a try. Don’t over do it, but when you are counting numbers for example, when you get to 10 say banana instead of ten! See how your students react.
Lyrics:
I’m walking, walking in the park
And I see a dog (No!)
I see a dog (No!)
I see a dog (yay!)
I’m walking, walking in the park
And I see a cat (No!)
I see a cat (No!)
I see a cat (yay!)
I’m walking, walking in the park
And I see a bird (No!)
I see a bird (No!)
I see a bird (yay!)
I’m walking, walking in the park
And I see a bear (No!)
I see a bear (No!)
I see a bear
A bear?
Run! run, run,
run run, run,
run run, run,
run stop, safe!
Great job!
