“Old MacDonald had a farm”
 Used for teaching Farm animals
 Introducing and practising vocabulary related to Farm
Animals
 The use of plastic farm animal toys has an incredible
effect on young learners’ attention
 Old MacDonald song can be used with a variety of
activities, including games, flashcards, posters, books
 This song is used in an interactive lesson, full of
enthusiasm
 Children love singing, playing, moving, interacting with
each other
 It’s a successful tool in teaching Farm animals to
primary school students

11. Walking in the jungle – Super Simple Songs Songs
• I use the song during classes in order to learn the animals and
the children like it. They can move and dance and even act a
little.
• What I have noticed is that they prefer and respond better to
songs that have more rhythm

13. Socrative
Oana Mila
Școala Gimnazială Nr. 8 Sibiu
I see Socrative as a tool designed to simplify the teacher’s work in
and out of class. I use it:
• during revision time before a test
• to measure Ss’ progress
• for group activities (you can launch a race between different
groups)

14. Personal Experience
Socrative can be:
• Installed on any Smartphone, iPhone,
• Accessed from any laptop, Computer
Each student can use his/ her mobile phone during the activity
Activities in groups -1 phone/ each group of 3 Students

15. What can I do with Socrative?
Launch a “space race” where different groups get to
compete for the 1st place. They have to solve
various types of exercises:
• Multiple choice exercises
• True/ False exercises
• Fill in the gaps exercises
• Short answer

16. Pros Cons
•Ss can see right away where
they gave the wrong answer
• Teachers can attach an
explanation so Ss know
exactly where and what they
did wrong
• Through the charts offered
by Socrative Teachers know
right away where Ss
encountered problems
• Some Ss might not have a
Smartphone
• Some Ss work faster than
others and the T might need
to set them an extra task
• can not be accessed out of
class

17. Student’s progress
In the results box Teachers find out how the class did as a whole,
but also what each Ss did individually

18. Socrative - Get an account
• How can I get an account?
1. Go to socrative.com
2. Follow the steps shown there to
create an account (give them your e-
mail address and a password)

19. Socrative
• How does it work?
1. Once you have an account, go on and log in. This
account is your room where you will invite your Ss
to come in
2. They will come in by inserting a room name that
you will provide them with

20. My account
• Once you have an account

21. Technology is just a tool. In terms of
getting the kids working together and
motivating them, the teacher is the
most important.
