There are many songs and dances that kids can learn and act out that will help them with basic English vocabulary. Try "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" and "The Hokey Pokey" for starters. Hand-clapping games and patterned jump rope rhymes are other rhythmic, rhyme-based strategies for teaching English language-learners. "Miss Mary Mac" and "Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum in a Dish" are typical patterned songs. You can also use "Old MacDonald" to teach animals and animal sounds, and counting songs and games to teach numbers.
