Action English

IT'S PARTY TIME!!! Justin Bieber: Mistletoe LESSON ACTIVITES

GOAL: to have a lot of fun in the English classroom, to motivate students to learn new vocabulary and pronunciation, to develop students' creativity.

For the teacher: to learn about students' taste in music and use this for motivation in the future.

The lesson:

1) Hand out the Christmas vocabulary worksheet and let the students match the words and pictures. (for lower level classes I would allow the use of a dictionary- you can also show them where to find an on-line dictionary and teach them how to use it)

2) When they have finished ask them to say the words they have written and help with pronunciation and meanings if necessary.

3) Ask your students to discuss in pairs how these words are related to the Christmas time.

4) Ask for feedback and discuss in class the connection of thewords in the worksheet and Christmas. In addition you can also ask them to say which words would they add to the list of Christmas words and ask for explanation. (In class you can make your students' Christmas vocabulary list like: Christmas tree: because we decorate it on Christmas eve etc.)

5) Give your students the Mistletoe lyrics worksheet and let them fill in the spaces with the missing words.

6) Check.

7) Let your students listen to the song again and ask them to sing. You, the teacher, should also sing along 

8) As a surprise you can let them watch the video our students made in the eTwinning project: ACTION ENGLISH and inspire them to record their own Mistletoe or some other video and learn English in the most amusing way: through singing and music.

Additional information:

1) explain your studets what Lip sync is and ask them to choose their favourite song in English and learn the words by heart. (ask them to write the title of the songs so you can prepare the worksheets)

2) Record your sudents for an eTwinning project or any other school project or school event. Fun, motivation, motivating lesson material and knowledge guaranteed 

Enjoy the lesson and be inspired,

MISTLETOE LYRICS

 

It's the most beautiful time of the year,                                                               
Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer,
I should be playing in the winter snow,

But I'mma be under the mistletoe.                                                

I don't wanna miss out on the holiday,
But I can't stop staring at your face,                                
I should be playing in the winter snow,
But I'mma be under the mistletoe.

With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you,
With you, under the mistletoe

Everyone's gathering around the fire,
Chestnuts roasting like a hot July,
I should be chillin' with my folks, I know,
But I'mma be under the mistletoe.

Word on the streets Santa's coming tonight,
Reindeer flying through the sky so high,
I should be makin' a list I know,
But I'mma be under the mistletoe.

With you, shawty with you,
With you, shawty with you,
With you, under the mistletoe,

With you, shawty with you,
With you, shawty with you,
With you, under the mistletoe,

Hey love, the Wise Men followed the stars,
The way I follow my heart,
And it led me to a miracle.

Hey love, don't you buy me nothing, (don't you buy me nothing)
'Cause I am feeling one thing,
Your lips on my lips,
That's a merry merry Christmas.

It's the most beautiful time of the year,
Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer,
I should be playing in the winter snow,
But I'mma be under the mistletoe.

I don't wanna miss out on the holidays,
But I can't stop staring at your face,
I should be playing in the winter snow,     
But I'mma be under the mistletoe.

With you, shawty with you,
With you, shawty with you,
With you, under the mistletoe,

With you, shawty with you,
With you, shawty with you,
With you, under the mistletoe,

Kiss me underneath the mistletoe,
Show me baby that you love me so,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Kiss me underneath the mistletoe,
Show me baby that you love me so,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

yeahhhhhhh.
