Tip of the Month - October 2020 - CORE-AOKE
CORE-AOKE.... Sing along and learn core vocabulary
This is a fantastic resource we have just discovered from the ACC Family Fun playlists. Thank you team – this is very cool! This team have made multiple playlists in Youtube of songs that have a core vocabulary chorus you can sing along to.
How to use Core-aoke
- Type ‘AAC Family Fun YouTube Playlists’ into YouTube
- See a playlist of multiple songs listed under each month.
- Every song has identified core vocabulary attached to it.
- Teach your students the repeated line from the song and have a practise sing along every day. Everyone is learning a core vocabulary sentence as they sing.
- Have a ‘song of the week’ that you sing every day so everyone really gets a chance to learn those words independently.
- On Fridays have an extended singing session and revisit songs from previous weeks to keep those words in your sight J.
- Make a choosing board so students can choose a previous favourite song and have the line that goes with it stored on the choosing card for quickly reminding everyone.
Example
This is an example of the Room 6 Coreaoke Songboard for choosing
Tips
Slow the speed of the video in You Tube to give students a chance to make the sentence and sing along.
- Open the video
- Click on the settings cog
- Change playback speed to 0.75
Happy Coreaoke singing everyone!
