DL Practice of the Week: Transition SONGS for 5K

By Marla Larsson Dual Language Kinder at Bethesda

Using Song & Rhyme to Have a Good Time

(with transitions and behavior)

Transitions can be a difficult time for many students; causing you to be late for specials, frazzled before students go to lunch or recess or stressed out before you can begin a new lesson. Why not try to make them more fun using songs and rhymes? Here are some well tested, bilingual ideas from my classroom to yours:

LINING UP

F-I-L-A                                       L-I-N-E

Fila, fila                                      I’m in line

Cha, cha, cha                             Good for me

CONFLICT RESOLUTION

El que fue a Sevilla perdió su silla     Move your feet, lose your seat

CRYING STUDENT/INJURY

¿Qué te pasa, calabaza?            Did you bump your head

Nada, nada limonada                 on a piece of cornbread?

GOING TO SPECIALS

Vamos a la biblioteca        Let’s all go to the library

Vamos a la biblioteca        Let’s all go to the library

Vamos a la biblioteca        Let’s all go to the library

Vamos a leer                    We are going to read

(to the tune of One little, two little)

Use for all specials changing the verb of last line

la clase de Música-cantar  Music class-sing

al gimnasio-correr, saltar   Gym-run, jump

la clase de Arte-pintar      Art class-paint

la cafeteria-comer            Cafeteria-eat

BEGINNING A NEW SUBJECT

I tried to create a song for each subject so that students know it’s time to transition. Usually, by the time we are done singing the song, students are settled and ready to learn.

Lectura (Tune of La cucaracha)

La lectura, la lectura            It’s time for Reading, It’s time for Reading

Ya es hora de leer               Everyone will have a turn

Leemos libros y compartimos   To read some  books and to share                                      Mucho, mucho que aprender   So much to learn

Matemáticas

M-A-T-E                     M-A-T-H

Mate, Mate                Math, Math

Olé                            Is great!

Ciencias (Tune of Twinkle, Twinkle)

Somos científicos                   We are scientists you know

El momento ya llegó                Let’s begin the science show

Descubrimos el mundo            We’ll discover lots of things

Con los 5 sentidos                  Using all our 5 senses

Somos científicos                   We are scientists you know

El momento ya llegó                Let’s begin the science show

Escritura (Tune of Are You Sleeping?)

Tengo cuentos, tengo dibujos     I have stories, I have pictures

Están durmiendo en mi cabeza   They’re asleep in my head

Los despierto, los escribo          I wake them up, I write them down

Luego los comparto con un amigo Then I share them with a friend

What songs, rhymes or other tricks do you have for transitions? I encourage you to share them with your colleagues or create some new ones. I hope I’ve inspired you to do this. Let me know how they work for you.
