๐ต Little Stars Plus 2: The Hello Dance
The second lesson of Little Stars Plus, a Pre-A1 English course for children aged 4 to 6. After the Hello Routine, the children sing the whole Hello Song with all four gestures. Then they learn two new gestures โ both hands on the chest for โIโm โฆ!โ and hooked index fingers for โfriendโ โ and sing and dance โThe Hello Danceโ, a new song to the tune of โHere We Go Round the Mulberry Bushโ. Pip passes a toy microphone round, and every child says their own name: โIโm Emma!โ. In musical hello statues, everybody dances while the music plays and freezes in a hello statue when it stops โ nobody is ever out. With teacher tips, ideas for online lessons, a 30-minute version and a Star Check picture game for home.
