Instructional Ideas

  • Direct pupils to count on their fingers as the song plays
  • Reenact the video—have five learners stand in a row and run away with each countdown 
  • Send the link home to give families the opportunity to watch and sing along together  

Classroom Considerations

  • An ad appears at the start of the video
  • Have the video ready to play in full screen to avoid reading user comments and recommended videos  
  • This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

  • Offers a new spin to the classic tune "Five Little Ducks"
  • Bright graphics enhance engagement 

Cons

  • None
