Thanks for the idea CurlyQue! Last year I couldn't figure out what to do with the song so my students just learned to sing the song. I tried this in class today as our listening activity for part 1, and it was a huge hit!

Here's how I did it:

1. Play the song so the students can listen (don't show the video).
2. Give each student a card and tell them they cannot speak once they've received the card.
3. Play the song again and the students walk around and quietly try to find their matching food/day partners. When they are sure they have formed their group they come to the teacher and the teacher seats each group in their seating section (they sit in order of the days).
4. Watch the video and sing the song as CurlyQue did. Except whenever it was "All you hungry children come and eat it up" all of the students sang together.

Great idea! However my co, as usual with any idea I have, didn't like it so I couldn't teach it. Just needed to rant.

Too bad you couldn't do it. I followed the above directions pretty much. But walking around quietly my students couldn't do. LOL

Anyway, we got them paired up and in order of days from Monday to Sunday and then had them stand and say the part when their day came up in the song and then sit down again. So Monday stood 7 times and everyone learned and sang the chorus. Once done we reversed the order, so Monday became Sunday and so forth. That way everyone stood up the same amount of times. They loved it.

Some stuff if you have a lower level class.

My Grade 4s loved this song.  It's nice and easy because it involves listening and repeating, and then has a faster version at the end that the kids can work up to.

I also have a cut and paste reading/writing activity that I've attached that incorporates vocabulary from the last two lessons.  Kids just cut and paste to make a schedule, and then do some writing.  I did this after worksheets instead of a game, so to make it more fun, I put the kids in partners and made them set up their books between them so they can't see what the other person is doing.  Then I told them they have to make the same schedule, but can only speak English to do it.

Like I said, though, my kids are pretty low level, so this is probably on the easy side for some.

If you have a small enough class here is one game:
Duck, duck, goose only with days of the week.  Instead of saying, "Duck, duck, duck..." they say, "Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc."  At "goose" replace it with "today."


I have a big class so a good guessing game was nice.
I showed the class 10 foods. 
I choose four days and a random food behind each day without the students knowing which food.
I then made students guess with the sentence, "(Food) is for lunch on (day)."
If they guessed one of the four foods I gave that team one point letting them know it is not there but it is one of the four foods.
If they guessed the food and the day the point got 2 points.

My students also liked this song.

A group baskin robbins game, thanks Caroline for the template!

I HAVE DELETED THIS LESSON AS IT IS BEING MONIIZED AGAINST THE CONTENT CREATOR'S WISHES.

I very much welcome an open source system and am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with the sites decision to charge for content. I uploaded content with the understanding that it would be used freely by other teachers and do not agree with it being monetized without my consent. Due to this change I have felt it best to remove my work.

Thank you for all those who have shared in the past and I hope the site will retract its new policy and return to an open community-led system.
