Brief Outline: While singing along to the Bingo song, students sing the English vowels and practice giving their self-introductions.

 

Materials Needed:

  • Pictures of famous people (optional)

 

Detailed Explanation:

  1. Write the vowels "a, e, i, o, u" on the blackboard.
  2. The lyrics follow the Bingo melody and are as follows: "Aeiou, aeiou, aeiou, Hello what's your name?"
  3. As you sing "name", point to a student and have him/her answer, "My name is..."
  4. Write an "x" under the "a", and instead of singing the "a" students clap.
  5. Repeat until all the letters are gone.

 

Variations:

  • Instead of having the students say the vowel names, have them practice vowel sounds as they sing. In other words, instead of saying the name of the letter "A", students would say the sound of "A", as in "cat". This should help with the students ability to correctly pronounce short-vowel words later on: cat, pet, pin, hot, cup, etc.
  • For larger classes, choose 2-3 students to introduce themselves in between verses.

 

Teaching Suggestions:

  • For first year classes, I use pictures of famous people and I sing both the question and answer. After hearing it a few times, students pick up on "My name is..." and they easily say it when I ask them for their names. I also have them pick a card and introduce themselves as a famous person.

 

Comments:

  • (Sept 5, 2011) David said: I tried a modified version of this on a 6年生 class. I was worried they would be too old for it, but they still loved it! To go with the BINGO song, I added two lines at the beginning: 
    Hello, my name is _. 
    Nice to meet you! 
    A-E-I-O-U (x3) 
    Hello, what's your name? (point to a random student) 

    I had the student I picked on choose the next letter to cross out.

概要： ビンゴの歌を歌いながら英語の母音を歌って自己紹介を練習します。  
 
必要な教材：
  • 有名人の写真などを使うことも出来ます。

手順：

  1. 黒板に英語の母音「a, e, i, o, u」を書く。
  2.  曲の歌詞はビンゴのメロデイーに乗せて歌う。歌詞は「Aeiou, aeiou, aeiou, hello what’s your name?」と歌う。
  3. 「Name」というところを歌っている時に、だれか一人生徒を指差す。指された生徒は「My name is ______ 」で自分の名前を歌う。
  4. ２回目では黒板の「a」の下に「X」を描く。生徒は「a」という代わりに柏手を打つ。
  5. すべての英語の母音が終るまで繰り返す。

教える際のアドバイス:

  • 一年生には有名人の写真を見せて質問と答えの両方を歌います。数回聞くと生徒が「My name is…」というフレーズが分かるようになり、彼らに名前を聞くと簡単に言えるようになります。　また、有名人のカードを作り、生徒にカードを引かせます。生徒は引き当てたカードの有名人として自己紹介をします。

バリエーション：

  • 母音だけを発音する代わりに、歌いながら母音の音を練習します。つまり、単に「A」と言うのではなく、「CAT」の中で「A」の音を言います。それによって短い母音を基本の英単語、「cat」「pet」「pin」「hot」「cup」を発音することによってよりはっきり覚えられます。
  • 多人数のクラスでは、歌詞の一区切りのところで、２，３人の生徒を同時に選んで自己紹介させます。
