I have been an English Teacher for more than two decades.

I have tried to use games, stories and songs to teach English Grammar.

If you have any ideas, please share it.

Let me share my experience.

I use the story of Pied Piper to teach passive voice.

I use the following songs written by me to teach  Tenses and Prepositions.

Please send me your opinions and ideas.

I will be very thankful to you.

NATURE

O … O… Nature!  O … O… Nature!

You’re Eeshwar! You’re Jesus!

You’re Allah! You’re our God!

O … O… Nature!  O … O… Nature!

You give us air and bring us water!

Our clothes and house, we get from you!

You produce food and grant us life!

Our health and wealth, we get from you!

O … O… Nature!  O … O… Nature!

You inspire us in arts and letters!

We learn duty, we earn beauty

And get knowledge only from you!

We form culture only through you!

O … O… Nature!  O … O… Nature!

We grow forests and save wild beasts!

We have one child, a girl or boy!

We sing and dance and share the joy!

This is the way we worship you!

O … O… Nature!  O … O… Nature!

We read and write and get knowledge!

We all work hard and share the wealth!

We keep home clean and share the health!

This is the way we worship you!

O … O… Nature!  O … O… Nature!

THE SONG OF RADHA AND KRISHNA – 1

Are you listening to me?

Are you thinking of me?

The Moon is shining

And the stars are smiling!

The Yamna is flowing

And a breeze is blowing!

Come here, darling!

I’m waiting for you!

I’m listening to you!

I’m thinking of you!

Your face is gleaming

So the Moon is glooming!

Your eyes are sparkling

So the stars are parting!

I’m thinking of you!

I’m waiting for you!

Are you listening to me?

Are you thinking of me?

The jasmines are blooming

And the bees are humming!

The cuckoo is singing

And the peacock is dancing!

Come here, darling!

I’m waiting for you!

I’m listening to you!

I’m thinking of you!

Your song’s enchanting

So the cuckoo’s flying!

Your dance’s well pleasing

So the peacock’s fleeing!

I’m thinking of you!

I’m waiting for you!

Love’s in us

So God is in us!

The clouds are showering!

The plants are flowering!

The world is running

As love is reigning!

Love’s in us

So God is in us!

THE SONG OF RADHA AND KRISHNA – 2

I have not seen you

For days fourteen!

Where have you been, dear,

Where have you been?

I’ve been to Ireland!

I’ve brought a garland!

I’ve been to Puree!

I’ve bought a sari!

I have not seen you

For days fourteen!

Where have you been, dear,

Where have you been?

I’ve been to Congo!

I’ve brought a mango!

I’ve been to Java!

I’ve bought a guava!

I have not seen you

For days fourteen!

Where have you been, dear,

Where have you been?

I have loved you, darling,

Since we met in Darjeeling!

Life has been full of beauty

Since we married in Ooty!

OUR SENSATIONAL NEWS

Shall we tell you our sensational news?

Will you tell us your funniest views?

A Greek playwright was walking once,

A crane was flying with a tortoise

Which slipped and fell on his bald head

The poor playwright died there at once!

Shall we tell you our sensational news?

Will you tell us your funniest views?

A bald husband divorced his wife

Who he had loved for her hair

Because he found to his despair

That she was wearing only a wig!

Shall we tell you our sensational news?

Will you tell us your funniest views?

A professor swallowed blotting paper

Because he found through his father

That he had drunk ink for his medicine

As he was then thinking of sin!

Shall we tell you our sensational news?

Will you tell us your funniest views?

A bankrupt man died of a shock.

While his kin were burying him,

He rose at once when someone said

That he had won a big lottery.

THE DREAMY, GREEDY OLD LADY

Once there lived a great old lady!

She dreamed like this, being greedy!

I have got a magic gold duck

That brings me wealth and health and luck!

I will now cut my duck open!

I will now get all eggs golden!

I am going to sell them all!

I will be the richest of all!

I’ll get my skin and teeth newer!

I will then drink magic nectar!

A comely prince will come and see!

At once he will love and wed me!

I am a greedy fool and found

Only one egg and flesh and blood!

What a bad luck! I killed my duck!

I feel hopeless, sad and helpless!

PREPOSITIONS

Prepositions always run

Before a Noun or Pronoun!

They convey my learner

The place and time and manner!

There is a town on the coast.

The West Indies off the coast.

Into the well jumped a lion.

Died in the well the poor lion!

Between the hills, a stream does flow.

Among the leaves, a rose does glow!

Beside the house, a bunk does lie.

Behind the house, some junk does lie!

Over the hat, a bat does fly.

Under the cat, a rat does lie.

Along the street, a man does stroll.

Across the street, a can does roll.

At one in the afternoon,

In the month of jolly June,

She sang sweetly a nice tune

And she caught her good fortune!

He’s not seen you for ten days.

They go to church on Sundays.

I have been here since Monday.

She stayed at home on Friday.

The poor always go train.

The rich travel in a plane.

Peddlers always go on foot

From door to door, selling fruit.
