Une Dizaine de Chansons

10 original French songs for the interactive whiteboard

Ten catchy original songs to support the teaching of French to young children. Written by Richard Winston, who worked for 4 years as the Primary Foreign Languages Consultant for Lewisham and Greenwich. The songs are simple and short; the language content is derived from the early stages of learning French and the song lyrics help to teach basic, everyday routine language.
Songs are delivered via the interactive whiteboard and are available in both Smartboard (Notebook) and Promethean (ActivPrimary) formats.
In either format, simply click on the green button to play the song whose lyrics are shown on screen. This will play the whole song. Clicking on each line of the lyrics will allow pupils to hear that line in isolation from the music, making it easier to learn. Once the lyrics are familiar, children can sing along to the music by the teacher clicking on the treble clef icon.
Site Licence £42.00 + p & p

Following each complete song is a chord sheet for those teachers (or pupils) who want to play an instrument alongside or instead of the music- an excellent opportunity for cross-curricular work with MFL!
In ActivPrimary, teachers can access an English translation of the song via the Teacher’s Notes icon. For Notebook users, this is provided as an additional screen after the chord sheet page.

NB: Smartboard interactive whiteboards will require Smartboard 9.5 software or later. Promethean boards need ActivPrimary 2 or later.
