Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer: Lyrics

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright, 
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" 

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.

Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games. 


You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
you know Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen,
But do you recall?
The most famous reindeer of all?

What do they do?

In this unit we have learnt some vocabulary about jobs and occupations. Remember when we want to know more about anybody we can ask about their job or occupation asking: What do you do? But be careful!!We say "what are you doing?" to ask for things that we are doing in that exactly moment. For example: -What do you do? I am a teacher -What are you doing? I am writing on my blog. In this post you can see a PowerPoint document with a test to review vocabulary about jobs. We are going to do like a question game. We are going to divide the class in groups. We are going to ask respecting turns, one question for each team. If the answer is wrong the other team will have the opportunity to answer. Each right question adds 2 point. Each wrong question subtracts 1 point. The teams which answer more correct questions will be the winner. After the test we write the jobs on the blackboard and will play a Bingo game.
