Singt mit uns! is a collection of 20 easy-to-learn songs, specifically written to aid in the teaching of German in the primary school. The songs are an enjoyable, natural and stress-free way to learn the rhythm of language, intonation and pronunciation, as well as to embed complex structures, such as questions and answers. They introduce and reinforce vocabulary for greetings, numbers, food and drink, family, pets, classroom items and much more. The two CDs contain the songs sung by native German children and music tracks. The accompanying book contains words and music to all the songs, together with English translations and helpful teacher' notes. The attractively illustrated sheets are photocopiable. The songs in this book are designed for 7-13 year olds. If you are a KS3 (Years 7-9; 11-14 year olds) teacher you may wish to order the KS3 version of this book (9780857476548). It contains the same songs.
