Title - Linking Verb Macarena
By - Alison Dulaney
Primary Subject - Language Arts
Grade Level - 5-8
Introduction:
The "Linking Verb Macarena" is a great way to get students excited about learning and remembering linking verbs.
Procedure:
- Do the words and motions to "The Macarena."
- Each word has a motion.
- "SEEM" is drawn out at the end before you turn. It should sound like "Seeeeeem, Look, Appear."
- Here are the lyrics to the song:
Am, Is, Are, Was
Were, Be, Become, Became
Feel, Grow, Taste, Smell
Seeeeeeem, Look, Appear
Note:
- I explain that this is obviously not all of the linking verbs, just the most common ones we see.
- My sixth graders love this idea. I still have seniors that come back to me and sing/do it!
- There are some websites where you can get the free karaoke Macarena version, and I, of course, use that too. Music makes it better!
