用儿歌来给孩子英语启蒙,基本原则,也是有效的原则,就是可理解性输入。
因此在给瑶选择英文儿歌时,要郎朗上口,具有可表演性或互动性,最好能有恰好的场景。
在此总结一下,我们学会的身体部位相关的儿歌,并搭配绘本,从听觉、视觉、动作、场景上掌握这些单词、短语搭配、和问答句。
1、儿歌《The Bath Song》
适合给孩子洗澡时唱的儿歌,旋律简单,洗到哪里,就唱到哪里。
Can you wash your hair? I can wash my hair.
Can you wash your feet? I can wash my feet.
Can you wash your face? I can wash my face.
Can you wash your knees? I can wash my knees.
I can wash my hair.
I can wash my feet.
I can wash my face.
I can wash my knees.
This is the way we take a bath.
Can you wash your shoulders? I can wash my shoulders.
Can you wash your toes? I can wash my toes.
Can you wash your hands? I can wash my hands.
Can you wash your nose? I can wash my nose.
I can wash my shoulders.
I can wash my toes.
I can wash my hands.
I can wash my nose.
This is the way we take a bath.
2、儿歌《Head shoulder, knees and toes》
适合和孩子互动,边唱儿歌,边指部位。还能锻炼孩子的反应能力。
Head shoulder, knees and toes,knees and toes;
Head shoulder, knees and toes,knees and toes;
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose;
Head shoulder, knees and toes,knees and toes;
3、绘本《from head to toe》
这本书是Eric Carle的经典作品,动物主角,句式重复简单,利于记忆,小朋友很快可以学会,比如can you do it? I can do it. 一边讲,一边学着书中的动物做动作,孩子也会转头、弯脖子、耸肩等等,不仅学到penguin、giraffe等动物单词,还学会身体和动作词汇。
I’m a penguin and I turn my head. Can you do it? I can do it.
I’m a giraffe and I bend my neck. Can you do it? I can do it.
I’m a buffalo and I raise my shoulders. Can you do it? I can do it.
I’m a monkey and I wave my arms. Can you do it? I can do it.
I’m a seal and I clap my hand. Can you do it? I can do it.
I’m a gorilla and I thump my chest. Can you do it? I can do it.
I’m a cat and I can arch my back. Can you do it? I can do it.
I’m a crocodile and I can wriggle my hips. Can you do it? I can do it.
I’m a camel and I can bend my knees. Can you do it? I can do it.
I’m a donkey and I can kick my legs. Can you do it? I can do it.
I’m an elephant and I can stomp my foot. Can you do it? I can do it.
I’m I and I wiggle my toe. Can you do it? I can do it. I can do it.
3、绘本洞洞书《Dry Bones》
廖彩杏书单里的洞洞书之一,书的骷髅把我吓了一跳,以为瑶不会喜欢,可是她在听绘本的过程中并没有一点害怕骷髅的感觉。
书的内容是骨架的结构和名称,通过洞洞的形式,按一定的顺序显示,宝贝可以逐渐了解到身体的结构。
不常见的词汇,如wrist : 手腕,腕关节;elbow: 肘部;thigh:大腿;ankle:踝关节。
画面通过不同的运动,展现所需要用到的关节部位,比如玩滑板skateboard 需要用到膝关节骨 knee bone, 股骨thigh bone, 髋骨 hip bone。
除了在场景中可理解性输入这些英文词汇、短语和句子,关键的就是重复,一段时间的重复,以及间隔一段时间的复习,才能让孩子自然习得这些英语表达。
