This song and video deals with WEATHER: How's the weather? Is it sunny, rainy, windy, cloudy, snowy...?
You can sing it while acting differently according to each word:
Sunny: Open your hands and fingers both sides of your face or body, imitating the sun. Rainy: Fingers pretends to be drops of water falling from the clouds. Cloudy: Cover you face with both hands. Snowy: Fingers pretends to be quiet dropts of snow falling from the clouds, slowly. Windy: Your arms are like a broom that goes from right to left or the other way, like the wind.
It's been a while since we last meet. I've been working hard in my school projects, as you will see on this blog too.

Find here two musical videos to work DAYS OF THE WEEK in the class.

The other it is very fun and I used it with second and third level. There are many ways to work an apparently "difficult" authentic English material like this one with beginners. I'll tell you more about in in my next post...
