Simple verses for little hearts!

a refreshingly new collection of 4 liners for Junior school.

What makes these verses special?

To teach your students/ children these verses you do not need a screen. So it is a non screen activity.

Simple actions help students who are new to English pick up the verses with ease.

They are ideal as a transition activity or for the last 4–5 min of the class.

It works well for English Language classes(ESOL) but also with any of the Junior level students.

You will not find them online and so it will be fresh and new for the students.

The students can come up with their own actions to make the verse their own.

1.

I am a little Tui bird

With a collar white as snow,

A beak, a tail and blue, black wings

That I will like to show.

2.

Give me soup (2 )

Give me soup from the pot

Give me soup(2)

Give me soup when it’s hot.

3.

I will….reach up high

Reach up high

Reach up high and touch the sky.

4.

Chicken and potatoes

Spinach and rice

That’s what I ate for dinner

And it was very, very nice.

5.

Look at the bee

Look at the bee

Making tasty honey

For you and for me.

Bzzzzz…..

6.

Snails and butterflies

Flowers and leaves

Makes my garden beautiful

Come and see!

7.

A kiss *

A blow*

And the pain it will go.

8.

I don’t like coffee

I don’t like tea

So Mummy pours out

Milk for me!

9.

Blow some bubbles(2)

Make them big and round

Blow some bubbles(2)

When they pop they make a sound.
