Збірка англомовних пісень

“Have Fun with Singing”

з розробками практичних завдань

та методичними рекомендаціями

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Збірник англійських пісень «Have Fun with Singing»  (Наталія Подзерка, Олена Кашеварова, Юлія Тонконог) складається з двох розділів: пісні для використання на початковому(Songs for Primary School) та середньому(Songs for Senior School) етапах навчання англійської мови.

Мета збірника – практичне оволодіння англійською мовою за допомогою пісенного матеріалу. Пісні, запропоновані у збірнику, можна використовувати з метою кращого закріплення граматичного матеріалу, розширення лексичного запасу, активізації вмінь та навичок усного мовлення і читання, як фонетичну зарядку, фізкультхвилинку, або просто для ігри, задоволення чи релаксації.

Ми пропонуємо наступну методику роботи з піснею на уроці, яка включає такі етапи:

1. Підготовчий етап (Pre-Listening Activity) – створення іншомовної атмосфери, кратка розповідь про співака або історію виникнення пісні, первинне прослуховування пісні.

2. Робота з текстом пісні (While-Listening Activity) – викладач пропонує різноманітні завдання для опрацювання тексту пісні, виходячи з мети уроку. Пропонується багаторазове прослуховування, що сприяє як засвоєнню лексики, так і мелодії.

3. Етап формування та вдосконалення мовленнєвих вмінь і навичок (Post-Listening Activity) – після обговорення і виконання певних завдань, виконується серія комунікативних вправ, що базується на мовному матеріалі пісні.

Автори збірника переконані, що використання пісенного матеріалу в процесі навчання іноземної мови є ефективним методом розвитку сприйняття мовлення на слух,  удосконалення англійської вимови, активізації граматичних конструкцій, а також це чудовий засіб кращого засвоєння та поповнення лексичного запасу учнів. Пісня стимулює монологічне та діалогічне мовлення, сприяє розвитку як підготовленого, так і спонтанного мовлення. Крім того, пісні створюють сприятливий психологічний клімат, знижують психологічне навантаження, підтримують інтерес до вивчення іноземної мови, сприяють формуванню комунікативної та соціокультурної компетентності.

Даний збірник призначений для вчителів англійської мови та учнів загальноосвітніх шкіл.

Pre-Listening:

 

 Children usually love domestic animals and will enjoy doing the funny noises.

Pre-teach or revise names of various domestic animals using pictures:

 

1. Ask children to pronounce the  names of the animals after you:

Duck,   dog,   cat,   cow,  sheep.

 

2. Ask  children what animals make these sounds:

Quack,  woof,  meow,  moo,  baa.

 

3. Playing game: Here are some cards.  The cards have pictures of domestic animals. Other cards have the names of these animals in English .The last cards have the sounds of these animals. You have to try and match the words to the pictures and the sounds.

 

 

Dog	Moo
Cat	Woof
Sheep	Quack
Duck	Baa
Cow	meow

            

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While-Listening;

 

1.     You can make up new verses about animals you like with appropriate noises.
2.     After the two sung verses you can hear just the instrumental and children can sing their new verses along to this background music.

 

3.     Create large cards for all the children with the following word or letter written on them (it doesn’t matter if two, three or more children have the same  card– get them sitting together and helping each other).Children sit in a circle and listen to the song, when they hear the word from their card they either jump up with it or hold it up (this activity encourages them to listen carefully and pick out individual words – and it’s fun).

 

For example:

E	I	O	Old
MacDonald	Had	With	Farm
Dog	Cat	Here	There

 

Post-Listening:       Create a farm – children choose their favourite  animal and draw a picture of it in the farm. Put all the pictures together to create a farm. Older children can also write some information about their animal under the picture.

Old Macdonald Had a Zoo.

 

Old MacDonald had a zoo

E - I – E – I – O

And in his zoo he had a puma

E - I – E – I – O

With a grrr grrr here and a grrr grrr there

Here a grrr, there a grrr

Everywhere grrr, grrr,

Old MacDonald had a zoo

E - I – E – I – O

Old MacDonald had a zoo

E - I – E – I – O

And in his zoo he had a parrot

E - I – E – I – O

With a squawk, squawk here and a squawk, squawk there

Here a squawk, there a squawk

Everywhere squawk, squawk

Old MacDonald had a zoo

E - I – E – I – O

 

 

 

   Pre-Listening:

          This is a nice variation on Old MacDonald had a farm. Children usually love wild animals and will enjoy doing the funny noises.

Pre-teach or revise names of various wild animals using pictures:

1. Ask the children to pronounce the names of the animals after you.

2. Ask  the children about the sounds these animals make.

3. Check that children understand the word ‘zoo’.

4.  Playing game: Here are some cards.  The cards have pictures of wild animals. Other cards have the names of these animals in English .The last cards have the sounds of these animals. You have to try and match the words, the pictures and the sounds.

 

 

While-Listening:

1.You can make up new verses about animals they like with appropriate noises – after the two sung verses you can hear just the instrumental and children can sing their new verses along to this background music.

2. Create large cards for all the children with the following word or letter written on them (it doesn’t matter if two, three or more children have the same card– get them sitting together and helping each other).Children sit in a circle and listen to the song, when they hear the word on their card they either jump up with it or hold it up (this activity encourages them to listen carefully and pick out individual words – and it’s fun).

For example:

E	I	O	Old
MacDonald	Had	With	Zoo
Puma	Parrot	Here	There

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special.

I.

Once bitten and twice shy

I  keep my distance but you still catch my eye

Tell me baby, do you recognize me?

Well it's been a year it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas!)

I  wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying, "I love you" I meant it

Now I know what a fool I've been

But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again.

Refrain - twice

II.

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice

My God I thought you were someone to rely on

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on.

A face of a lover with a fire in his heart

A man undercover but you tore me apart

Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again.

Refrain - twice

A face of a lover with a fire in his heart

I'll give it to someone special.

Now it looks as though they’re here to stay

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

 

Suddenly, I’m not half the man I used to be,

There’s a shadow hanging over me.

Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

 

Why she had to go I don’t know she wouldn’t say.

Now I need a place to hide away.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mama (sung by Kelly family)

 

 

Why did you have to die?

When I was only at the age of five

So suddenly you've gone

And I was left with answers hard to find.

 

Now I think of your 'cause I'm in hunger for your warmth

That no one can replace

And I know that there I go

You are always by my side

I just want to let you know.

 

Chorus.

Mama oh I miss you sometimes

Mama can you hear me when I cry

Mama oh I miss you sometimes

Mama can you hear me when I cry for you

 

Your spirit never dies

And all your words I treasure in my heart

You left me with a smile.

But my cheeks aren't always dry from all the tears

Now I think of you 'cause I'm in hunger for your warmth

That no one can replace

And I know that where I go

You're always by my side

                      I just want to let you know.

The history of the Kelly Family must be one of the most unusual band

biographies there is. In 1966, dancer Barbara Ann and her husband Daniel Jerome Kelly leave the USA with the four children Danny, Caroline, Paul and Kathy and settle southern Spain. The children begin singing and dancing to folk music with their parents there. Because they enjoy making music, they start appearing at birthday parties, weddings. The father gives up the business and starts singing with children.

  Mother Barbara gives the children ballet lessons at home, and they take music lessons. Under the name of “Kelly Kids”, the family make their Spanish television debut in 1975 and go on tour through Spain.

Once when they were sightseeing in Italy the Kellys' minibus was robbed, leaving only their instruments and passports. Seriously short of money now, the family starts singing on the street. Passers-by stop in amazement and the collecting-basket keeps filling up with money. At the end of the first day, Dan tells his children: "Kids, our life has changed!" They go on from Italy to Austria, Ireland, Germany and the Netherlands. Not long after that, they sign their first record contract. They get their first Number 1 hit in Holland and Belgium in 1980.

The Kelly children's mother falls ill with breast cancer in 1981. The family returns to Pamplona, Spain. A year later she dies Kellys take her last wish, "Keep on singing", as a promise.

In 1998 they buy their first house in Amsterdam. In 1990: Father Dan is paralyzed down his right side The Kelly children go on tour alone for the first time. Thanks to his iron discipline, their father gets back on his feet, and for the first time since his illness, he appears with his kids in 1994 in front of 16,000 people on the stage of the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund.

The family fills all Europe's football stadiums and makes its biggest live appearance in Vienna before the audience of 250,000.

Meanwhile, the Kellys are known on other continents, in countries such as China, South Africa and the USA.

There are 9 brothers in the group. They play lots of musical instruments: keyboards, accordion, guitars, mandolin, harp, drums, harmonica, and percussion. They have 16 video albums and 15 CD albums.

Another hero. Another mindless crime

Outside the dawn is breaking but inside, in the dark

I'm aching to be free.

       Bob Marley - Don’t Worry, Be Happy

 (whistling)

Here's a little song I wrote,

You might want to sing it note for note,

Don't worry, be happy

In every life we have some trouble,

When you worry you make it double

Don't worry, be happy- 5

                                                             

Ain’t got no place to lay your head,

Somebody came and took your bed,

Don't worry, be happy               

The landlord say your rent is late,

He may have to litigate,

Don’t worry (small laugh) be happy,

(look at me I`m happy,)

Don't worry, be happy

(I give you my phone number,

when your worried, call me,

I make you happy)

Don't worry, be happy

 

Ain’t got no cash, ain’t got no style,

Ain’t got no gal to make you smile

But don't worry, be happy

Coz when you worry, your face will frown,

And that will bring everybody down,

So don't worry, be happy

Don't worry, be happy now...

 

( 1^st verse)

don't worry, don't worry, don't do it,

be happy, put a smile on your face,

don't bring everybody down like this

don't worry, it will soon pass whatever it is,

Do not worry ,be happy, I am not worry ,I am happy

Jack and Jill went up the hill

To fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down and broke his crown

And Jill came tumbling after.

Then up Jack got and home did trot

As fast as he could caper;

He went to bed and  plastered to his head

With vinegar and brown paper.

Jill came in and she did grin

To see Jack's paper plaster;

Mother vexed did whip her next

For causing Jack's disaster.

The Earth Song (sung by Michael Jackson)

 

1. What about sunrise, what about rain

What about all the things that you said we were to gain

What about killing fields, is there a time

What about all the peace that you pledge your only son

Did you ever stop to notice this crying Earth, these weeping shores

Aaaaaaaaaah Uuuuuuuuuuh

“Happy New Year”

No more champagne

And the fireworks are through

Here we are, me and you

Feeling lost and feeling blue

It's the end of the party

And the morning seems so grey

So unlike yesterday

Now's the time for us to say...

 

Happy New year

Happy New year

May we all have a vision now and then

Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

Happy New year

Happy New year

May we all have our hopes, our will to try

If we don't we might as well lay down and die

You and I

 

Sometimes I see

How the brave new world arrives

And I see how it thrives

In the ashes of our lives

Oh yes, man is a fool

And he thinks he'll be okay

Dragging on, feet of clay

Never knowing he's astray

Keeps on going anyway...

Chorus

Seems to me now

That the dreams we had before

Are all dead, nothing more

Than confetti on the floor

It's the end of a decade

In another ten years time

Who can say what we'll find

What lies waiting down the line

In the end of eighty-nine...

 

          Chorus.

 ABBA was a Swedish pop music group formed in Stockholm in 1972. They became one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of popular music, and they topped the charts worldwide from 1972 to 1982. ABBA was also the first pop group from a non English-speaking country to enjoy consistent success in the charts of English-speaking countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.  They called themselves Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid.(ABBA),  an acronym of their first names. ABBA was also the name of a Swedish canned fish company, which luckily agreed to lending their name to a pop group.
