Stage 3: Post-teaching activities
This stage is generally accepted as the stage when the teacher moves on from listening practice to focus on other language skills such as reading, speaking, and writing. In this context, Listen and Do songs are suitable for competitions, games, and simple drama activities. Some suggested examples follow.
• Depending on the number of students, divide the class into two or three groups. Assign a part of the song to each group, then ask the groups to sing along with the CD and at the same time do the actions. TPR songs in general are suitable for class, group, or individual competitions, so you may wish to turn this song into a competition by assigning points to every correct pronunciation and action. In my own teaching context I choose four representatives from each group and ask them to sing their part with the actions. This game is greatly enjoyed by the majority of students.
• As an alternative to the above activity, the following game may be played: choose two students and call them to the front. Then give commands randomly related to the song and reward the quickest correct action with applause by the class. The following description illustrates this activity: The teacher says “knees,” and the students are expected to touch or point to their knees. The quickest student to touch or point to his or her knees wins a point and is applauded by the class.
