Test your coordination, singing, and playing ability with the first 5 PictureLyrics English Music Learning Units – for Hello How Are You, Rain Rain Go Away, Twinkle Twinkle, Old MacDonald, and Mary Had a Little Lamb. I take my young learners at Dream Kids through each of the stages for each song over the course of several lessons, but it’s amazing how well they can pick it up. Grab your Hohner glockenspiel and give it a try. Enjoy learning English and music through pictures!

Weekly Release: Old MacDonald Learning Unit
What better way to kick off your lesson on animals, than Old Mac with American Sign Language! OK, so I may have butchered some of them – the signs, not the animals! But check out Dr. Bill at Lifeprint for all the correct signs. And enjoy the rest of this video describing how I teach this song in lessons – with actions, PictureLyrics, and playing/singing on drum and glockenspiel. And download the slides for use in your home or classroom here. Enjoy learning English and music through pictures!
Weekly Release Update: Old MacDonald!
So I found a version of Old MacDonald with 9 animals – that’s a good amount! We teach this every year at Dream Kids in Tokyo and the kids love singing it, and pick it up so quickly looking at the pictures. Lots of good stuff in this song – not just the animals but “here”, “there”, and “everywhere”. You can find the slides for your home or classroom here, or just pop on the YouTube video and let the pictures and music play.
