Halloween and Autumn Shows




Emelie and Costa teaching "On Halloween" in Budrione (MO)



The hundreds of children who have participated in our shows these last few weeks have been celebrating Halloween and the season of Autumn through song, dance, movement and of course, English. It is always a pleasure to return to schools that know us and appreciate our method and material. The video clip shows Emelie and Costa, (our new FunSongs actor from Sydney who is also an opera singer) leading the children in a collective performance of On Halloween.



FunSongs Labs



Andrew Tyree helping kids to be creative in English

FunSongs Labs is a new project we are developing after the success of our FunSongs English Weeks summer camps. Families form small groups of 4 to 5 children and once a week for ten weeks FunSongs provides a trained English teacher. He or she holds the lessons at home. The scheme is currently limited to Bologna and the surrounding area. For further details, please contact the FunSongs Italy office to ask for an application form.

As always the month of October is a busy time for FunSongs. As well as organizing the many bookings for FunSongs Shows, the Italy office in Zola Predosa is also coordinating a new project entitled "FunSongs Labs". These are English lessons for small groups of children based on the FunSongs Approach.
