I need a song!
 

Dear friends,

I need an easy song for teaching  Past Simple Tense ( regular-irregular verbs)
 
Do you know such a song?
Thanks for your help!
 
P.S.
These are my favorite songs
 
to teach past tense but they are a bit difficult for my 6th graders.
 
Celine Dion / Because you loved me
 
Anne Murray / You needed me

Hi Victoria,
I �ve used this site many times this year, scroll down and you �ll find "past tenses" .
"Don�t tell me" , by A Lavigne could be useful, too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMbIipvQL0c

Hi Vica!
 
 I heard about this song yesterday - and it was recommended for teaching past simple!
 
 
There are many versions of it on you tube it seems.
Good Luck Heart

I used Rocky Raccoon by the beatles, lots and lots of past simple and as always with the Beatles, the lyrics are easy to follow. I found a great video using �world of Warcraft � characters which my students just looooved.
(I uploaded a sheet on the song in the past if you �re interested)

Hello!

You �ve had lots of good suggestions already. Ours would be Yellow Submarine by the Beatles, which students always love to sing along to!

We �ve created a useful table of song suggestions for teaching ESL grammar points if you �re in need of a song in the future:

Happy teaching!
