1 Sing the song.
1.02
• This is the song that identifies Smart Start. So it can be used at the start of each lesson as a nice way to highlight that it’s time for English. Children who have used level 1 will already be familiar with the song. • Play the song through once doing all the actions. • Play the song again. Encourage the children to copy your actions. • Play the song once more. The children do the actions and sing the words at the same time. They will probably want to repeat this last step a couple of times.
