MES English has some great Rooms of the House\u00a0flashcards that contain all of the vocabulary in this song. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mes-english.com\/flashcards\/house.php\" target=\"_blank\">Get them here at MES-English.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You could also have some fun with your students and draw the rooms on a white board. Ask the students to draw objects that they might see in the room.<\/p>\n<p>Next, pre-teach the actions: cooking, reading, playing guitar, eating, brushing teeth. Your students might already be familiar with a lot of this vocabulary. Then, watch the video, and have the students try to do the actions and sing-along. Here are the lyrics just in case you want to pre-teach those as well:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rooms of the House Song Lyrics:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>I&#8217;m cooking some food in the kitchen.\u00a0<\/em><br \/>\n<em>I&#8217;m reading a book in the living room.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>I&#8217;m playing my guitar in the bedroom.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Please be quiet! I&#8217;m trying to sleep.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Ok! After my guitar solo!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I&#8217;m eating dinner in the dining room.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>I&#8217;m brushing my teeth in the bathroom.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>I&#8217;m playing my guitar in the bedroom.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Please be quiet! I&#8217;m trying to sleep.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Ok! After my guitar solo!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Game idea:<\/strong> Ask your students to take turns acting out the gestures of cooking, or reading, and have the students take turns guessing. For an extra challenge, ask your students to choose a room flashcard where they are doing the action, and have the students answer like this, &#8221; You are reading a book in the living room.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I hope this helps you with some ideas to get started with your own awesome Rooms of the House lesson! Happy Teaching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students can\u00a0learn the rooms of the house pretty easily.
