A Jazz Chant
I don't use Jazz Chants usually in my class but I thought this one was good and it fitted perfectly with my lesson plan about simple present.
The most famous Jazz Chants are made by Carolyn Graham. I'm not a big fan of Jazz Chants, they are nice to use a couple of times a year but not more, because I think it gets boring in the end. It's better to try other types of songs.
They are great for rhythm and intonation! (what our little francophone pupils have trouble with).
I propose you some ideas about how to teach this song: Jazz_Chant_exploitation.pdf
Here are the lyrics: JAZZ_CHANT.doc
And the chant:

click on "podcast" otherwise the song is too fast, I don't know why.
