英语儿歌中诸如英语手指游戏儿歌、英语点指儿歌,很多都很难,孩子又不懂,说也没有用呀。
在幼儿的英语教学中,恰恰就是需要这种“没用”的教学,因为幼儿英语教学不在于幼儿是否能掌握你所教的全部,而在于是否对你的一堂课感兴趣。一堂课的目的单词也许就那么两三个,句子就那么一句,但是贯穿于整堂课的却是老师另增的内容,如:出现的律动儿歌、日常用语、课堂用语等,构成了一堂全英文教学课程。
那些律动儿歌,课堂用语不是孩子掌握的重点,却是激发孩子英语兴趣的重点。尤其在幼儿英语教学当中,运用手指游戏的方法是非常有效的,因为朗朗上口、有趣的手指游戏儿歌不仅能激发幼儿浓厚的英语兴趣,让幼儿更易学习英语。而且边唱边做也能促进幼儿的全脑发育,这说唱用的是左脑,通过做手指动作能训练幼儿的右脑,正符合了我们现在所说的全脑开发新概念.

(如果是与孩子单独处时,可以把对象指定孩子进行游戏,因为是用在班上进行教学,所以我觉得让每个孩子跟着老师做会比较全面些。)
Bumblebee(大蜜蜂)

He has no fingers, (握拳,藏起手指) He has no toes, (摇动脚趾)
But goodness gracious, (做一个吃惊的表情) What a nose! (指鼻子)
这个歌谣很形象地描述了大象的模样和动作,通常孩子们都是喜欢模仿动物的动作。呵呵,要是你周围的地方比较狭窄的话,就不用模仿大象走路啦。

Now, let's stop, (停住不动)
Up and down. (两只手指指天空,再指指地面)
要是你们活动的地方稍大一点,可以不用手指来示意这些动作了。比如你和宝宝在房间里一边唱一边表演走路、蹦跳、奔跑、停止等动作,up的时候就把双手高高举到空中,down的时候蹲下来,双手触摸地面。

London Bridge falling down'falling down'falling down.
(爸妈伸出双手,搭出一座桥,把宝宝围在中间,做出桥突然垮下来的样子,重复3次) London Bridge falling down'My fat lady!
(最后一次桥垮下来,一定要表情夸张,再双手缩紧,父母和宝宝都抱在一起,必要时还可以搔宝宝的痒;若是较大的小孩,可以绕着爸妈跑,再学火车过山洞,钻过小桥,并避免被垮下来的桥抓住,较大的孩子也会觉得很好玩。)
◆当我们同在一起
The more we get together'together'together.
(妈咪和宝贝坐在一起,肩搭着肩随着旋律做左右摇晃状) The more we get together'the happier will be.

Head and shoulder and knees and toes knees and toes
这首歌在北美是一首耳熟能详家喻户晓的儿歌。刚开始唱的时候节奏可以慢一些,因为要连贯地做一系列动作,对孩子来说实在是一件不大容易的事情。等孩子动作协调了以后,可以越唱越快,非常好玩。这个游戏极大地锻炼了孩子身体动作的协调性,而且很快孩子就能记住他身体这几个部位的英语名称了。
◆ 歌曲《If your're happy》中文名字叫《如果感到幸福你就拍拍手》

If your're happy and you know it, (双手在胸前交叉摆动)

将clap your hands改成stomp your feet(跺脚)成一段,改成shout “hurray”(双手举起来做欢呼状),再改成do all three(把拍手、跺脚、欢呼连起来做一遍)。这首歌曲对节奏感要求比较强,尤其要等到唱完clap your hands才能拍手,很好地训练了孩子的音乐节奏感,以及眼睛和手的协调,更促进了孩子的社交互动力。唱这首歌的时候可以把全家人甚
