Songs in Action in Production


Teaching actions for Our Autumn Song

A few days after the end of FunSongs Summer Weeks at the end of June, Serena De Santis, Claudia Catinelli and Charles Goodger met to plan the latest FunSongs publication "Songs in Action". This is a new photocopiable textbook containing twelve action song-based modules. It will contain a CD with two versions of the songs and multimedia material. Charles Goodger had originally been invited to publish a similar textbook with a large international publisher but then decided that FunSongs itself could do the job! Songs in Action should be available from the start of 2007.

FunSongs Summer Weeks
- an unforgettable experience

As you can see from the photos, the kids all had a great time - and also learned English as they danced, sang, played and drew. The second week was even more successful than the first. Charles Goodger and his team received praise for the quality of the organization and contents from FunSongs's sponsor, the local council of Zola Predosa as you can see in this email from local councellor Stefano Fiorini:

Ho avuto l'opportunità di constatare, tramite alcuni genitori che mi hanno informato, l'alto livello di questa iniziativa.
La relazione del Dr.Goodger mi conferma ancora una volta la sensibilità e la competenza di questo professionista che, peraltro, abbiamo la fortuna di avere come nostro concittadino.
Come cittadino e consigliere comunale ringrazio tutti coloro che hanno contribuito a questa iniziativa. Cordiali saluti, Stefano Fiorini
