Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population... In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security.

Dance into English

Function: Song

Words: 0

Duration: 1:44

Aim: None - BGM for activities, timing events or just to enjoy

A refreshing alternative to using a timer for an activity is to use a specific piece of background music. Depending upon the activity music can encourage participation. It also gives feedback to the participants about remaining time in a way that the dead silence of a timer does not.

Dance into English was used at a Japanese kindergarten that had an all-day English program. Every day one class would do all their activities in English. At lunch time both English and Japanese were used. The music served as a transition back into "English Time", hence its name.
