I know what it’s like to be an ESL teacher and constantly searching for new and fun English teaching materials to incorporate into your class… trust me I’ve spent hours doing it!
Probably one of the most common songs that teachers look for are Good morning songs for kids. Kids need some form of routine and a signal to know when something is starting and ending, hence why a Good morning song is such a great cue for the start of the class. Starting the class off with a song is also a wonderful way to set the tone for the rest of the class… it’s going to be FUN!
These are 2 Good Morning songs that I use in my ESL beginners class. If you’re looking for more variations and versions, you can also check out The ultimate collection of Good Morning songs for ESL children that I compiled together of my favorite ones that are suitable for ESL children! (This was done after a weekend of watching videos on YouTube!)
This is a really easy and simple song to use to teach the colours to ESL children. It’s got a catchy tune and you can really get the kids involved and participating. When I start off teaching it, I sing the first part: “What colour, what colour, what colour is this?” then have them reply…

I think two of the biggest mistakes people make when teaching kids in ESL beginners classes is forgetting that kids are kids and not mini-adults or, treating children as one unit rather than individual characters! In other words, many teachers either forget that small kids do not have the longest attention span and try and teach them from…

Do you want an easier way to teach English to kids?
Are you having trouble finding songs and games that are both simple and fun enough to engage your kids?
I was having the same problem teaching ESL to young children and coming up with new ideas until I came across these fun songs by Super Simple Songs and started singing them in my class.
I've noticed that now I'm able to keep their attention for longer and the kids seem to remember more English. They even go home and sing the songs to their parents... so the learning continues!
I've searched and this is really the best value that I've found anywhere online - it includes Super Simple Songs 1, 2, and 3 CDs with lyrics booklets. (you get over 70 tracks in total!) You can listen to samples of their songs on their site and also get some great lesson plans and ideas for how to teach the vocabulary and songs.
