Release: Jingle Bells by Super Simple Songs
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells! The 15 students who joined our Dream Kids Winter Camp special will be singing this for the next month. The 2-day event was centered around a live performance of Jingle Bells, with singing, actions, playing on the drum and glockenspiel, and homemade Christmas hats. The kids earned the pumpkin pie they made as a reward with a great performance! Enjoy the PicLily edition of this song, performed by Super Simple Songs, and Merry Christmas!
Release: We’re All In This Together from High School Musical
Get everyone in the team spirit with this hit finale from High School Musical. In this version we have assigned a unique picture to every word, helping to visualize even words like “the” and “for”. This helps especially with pre-reading learners, who pick up words much more quickly with visual cues. This song is tried and tested at Dream Kids Network in Tokyo, Japan, where we are using it for our 2018 Year End Play. Kids age 3-6 love singing and dancing to this song!

We are back on line!

More importantly, we have packaged our process and recruited some help to get more content out. Thanks to everyone who has supported us. We are looking forward to bringing out our best material yet in the coming weeks. Enjoy learning English with our Picture Lyrics! And be sure to check out the slides for your home or classroom here.
