Hetty
and the Lion - Part Four
Welcome
back. This is the fourth in this series of games, a story and
activities to teach preschool children English.
Check
out all the songs!
If you have
missed the first three parts - which are essential - here they are: (If
you bought the preschool games you already have this.)
Part 1
- Hetty and the Lion flashcards and games
Part
2 - Hetty and the Lion Story and illustrations
Part
3 - Hetty and the Lion Post-Story activities
Now I am sending you some post-story activities which you can use for
revision and for more speaking practise as the children become more
confident with the vocabulary and
language.
Hetty
Song, Lion Mask and More Activities!
1. Music!
As
you probably already know children love songs and music. I
created 16 songs to go hand in hand with the first ten stories.
Now a teacher really has everything he or she needs with
games, stories AND songs to go with them.

Activities to use with the song
There
is a 36-page activity book included with the songs (downloadable).
It contains the words to the songs, which match the
vocabulary and phrases from the stories.
It
also contains activities for each song, adapted to learn and practise
the language. Each song has a description too on how to
prepare and act it out for parents as part of a show.
Here
are a couple of examples from the section on the Hetty song...
Listen and Clap
Tell the children you are going to play a song about Hetty and the lion
and they are to clap every time they hear the word "lion" or "Hetty".
Play the song and demonstrate while they watch and copy. Play it again,
gradually fading out your own prompts until the children can do it
alone. In another lesson you can play this again but having the
children clap on the word "would" – which occurs in almost every line.
Repeat
the Words Game
Demonstrate this game first with two students. Half of the children
stand along one side of the room and half stand along the other. The
children are in pairs opposite each other. The teacher says to the
first half "Lion, would you like some apples?" These children run
across to their other half opposite and repeat this; "Lion, would you
like some apples?" and then run back to their original place.
The teacher now says to the other half, "Oh yes Hetty, oh yes I would".
These children now run across to their partner, repeat the line and run
back to their original spot. Although this is challenging for three
year olds, it is feasible if you have been teaching them for a term or
two. It is far too ambitious for an early lesson.
Acting
out the song
Divide the class into Hettys and lions. Use real fruits as props if
possible. The Hettys advance across the room to the lions offering
first an apple and then a pear. The lion takes them and scoffs them
greedily! If you play the "Repeat the Words" game described just above
you should be able to use the karaoke version and have the children do
the words. All the Hettys sing their words together, followed by the
lions. The girls will have to be Hetty, while girls and boys can be
lions.
More
games
Listen Up, Q and A Game, Chase round the Circle game, London Bridge
game are also in the Hetty section of the activity book.
In all there are 26 activities ideal for using with songs, whether it's
to focus on the vocabulary, practise specific phrases, use the music as
backing to another language game, sing along to, or act out the events
in the song.

Free Lion Mask
With
the CD of songs (also available as a download), there are 16 animal
masks included.
These
come in black and white so children can cut them out and colour them
in, and also fully coloured, for dressing up, miming and using in shows
at the end of term.
Here's
a free one - the lion - so you can use it with Hetty. The
animals that feature in the 16 songs are: ant, giraffe, bear, monkey,
pony, spider, fly, duck, dog, cat, snake, elephant, fish, bird, fox and
lion.
