Three Sheep Songs
Easter season is a good time to teach these three nursery rhymes: Baa Baa Black Sheep, Little Bo Peep, and Mary Had a Little Lamb. There are lots of videos of these songs on Youtube or Youkou (China) and the kids love to sing them. I used this worksheet as a summary review close activity. Good vocabulary building and verb tense practice.

COVID-19 Dialogue
I love to make dialogues for my students so they can practice conversational English. I use the text as a basis for the script and have students alternate. Since my classes are very small, this works well. In a large class, I would divide the students into groups and have them do the dialogues.

Waltzing Matilda Explained
This famous ballad from Australia is its informal national anthem. Just to listen to it, one wouldn�t realize it is about a migrant who steals a sheep and is caught. Rather than be hanged, he drowns himself. The lyrics are from the Slim Dusty version that was sung by him at the Melbourne Olympics.
