INTRODUCTION
The project that our teacher presented to us was about making a children's
songbook, so we decided to choose this 10 songs that are mentioned and analyzed
in this document. The three first songs are about different animals, the next two
songs are about the body and the rest, about different topics.

The dynamic of the final product consists in presenting two of the ten songs, by
preparing any type of activity for our classmates. We must learn the two songs to
teach them properly.

In our view, these songs can contribute a lot to the motor development of the
children, learning about different topics and in improving motor skills.
We will explain, dance and sing two of them at class. After all this, we will end with a
conclusion.

REFLECTION

To conclude this, we have realized that the songs have more worth than entertaining
the boys and the girls. On the one hand, they can learn some concepts but on the
other hand they can develop movements or skills by singing and dancing to them.

Also, we believe that knowing songs in English is very important and it can be very
useful in moments of difficulty, to teach a topic, pick up the toys...

They help in their learning in a fun way that allows them to express themselves
freely. Sometimes they can also help socializing with other kids, knowing themselves
and their emotions, and have a good time while doing it. And on the other hand, the
gross and even fine motor skills are also worked on some occasions.

To end this songbook, mention that we really liked learning new songs in English
and laugh, have fun preparing them, and think about the benefits for children…
We think it can help us when preparing activities and in our future profession as a
child educator.

“PLAY, LEARN AND GROW TOGETHER”
