It was such an inspiring experience! Here is how we did it:
The Selection: Each school chose one important song from its country. It was fascinating to hear so many traditional and modern masterpieces!
The Recording: Students recorded a short part of the song, both in audio and video formats. They did such a professional job, and the energy in the videos was absolutely contagious!
The Peer Learning: Students helped their partners learn the song in the most creative ways.
They shared simple lyrics to make them easy to follow.
They explained exactly how to pronounce the words (which was so helpful and fun!).
They showed the rhythm and melody with so much passion.
This activity was a total success! Everyone worked together brilliantly, and we learned so much about different cultures through the power of music. It was definitely the highlight of the term! ✨

The International Playlist Activity
An optional activity: a shared playlist was created on Padlet. It was such a brilliant idea! Every class posted a few of their favourite songs, and the result was absolutely amazing.
We followed the link to the Padlet and it was so much fun to see everyone's musical tastes! This activity was optional, but many students participated just for fun and sharing. We truly loved listening to all the different tracks; it was a fantastic way to feel more connected. What a wonderful experience!
