First I would like to congratulate for your blog, I found it very interesting. In my opinion "fill in the gaps" exercises are always very motivating but I think you should post a video without subtitles or an audio instead because if you post a subtitled video children can copy what they are watching and don't make the effort to understand the song. Don't you thing that?
Hello Marga!. Thank you for your commentary. You can use the activity with different ages and in differents ways. If childrens are in first of primary, you would use it with the letter because may be a help for them. Also, for example, you can listen the song closing the eyes in the first time and then watching the video and checking the answers.
I agree with you Elena, the subtitles can help the youngest learners because they can see the word while they are singing and become familiar with it and like you said, it is always possible to listening to it without looking at the video, just listening. I think this is a really popular and easy song that is always enjoyable for the students. In conclusion this is in my opinion a good choice as a activity to do in the class.
