IF YOU HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT CLAP YOUR HANDS ( ELENA PUENTE)

 If you Happy and you know it clap your hands song. It is aimed at students in the first course of Primary Education in the English area. It is going to be developed in 2 sessions. The objectives on which we are going to base with this song are: To interact with other using English language, be able to represent different feelings, to use and identify adjectives and feelings.

Activities:
We will start the lesson on the vocabulary of the song. I will choose some flashcards with some adjetives.I will show the flashcards and they have to repeat the name after me. When We finish I will ask my students what flashcards they have memorized. Then , I show an image about the song to them and , I ask them some questions: Are you happy? Do you take a siesta? Are you sleepy? Do you like clap your hands? In this activity, students are going to listen a song and they have to answer true or false questions about the adjectives . After that, they listen the song again and they represent it with mimes and gestures. Finally, students colour a mask in a piece of paper about how do they feel today? Then, they wear it on their heads and they said: Iam sleepy, angry, happy . We finish the lesson with a representation which student have to memorise some words such as: Iam happy because I love going to school, another student say I am sleepy because I wake up so early .
In my opinion, working with drama it is very interesting for our students , because they work with some skills : listening, speaking writing and reading. They also develop their imagination and creativity.
