Learn to read the lyrics & drama

The children had some difficulty in following the song as they were not very familiar or even not sure what the lyrics were saying.

Therefore, today, I wrote the lyrics on the board and get the children to read along. Then, we try to see what kind of hand or body movements that we could use for the lyrics that we read earlier.

Basically, I only wrote these lyrics on the board:

In the jungle, the mighty jungle,
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the quiet jungle,
The lion sleeps tonight

In the village, the peaceful village,
The lion sleeps tonight
In the village, the quiet village,
The lion sleeps tonight

Hush my darling, don't fear my darling,
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling,
The lion sleeps tonight.

With the hand and body movements that we had added into the lyrics, we played the drama again this time with the hope that the children could remember to add in the hand and body movements together.
