I am doing my student teaching in a Kindergarten class right now and have found that Kindergartners love watching educational videos, especially videos with peppy music. With 31 students in a class, it has been a challenge to find ways to keep all of their attention. That's why it surprised me to see all of them completely silent and engaged in a video my cooperating teacher was playing for them. Is that all it takes?
When I play videos, the students usually end up singing along, which is a good thing, especially if the words have educational value. These are some of the videos that I have found either helpful in the classroom or that I would possibly consider using in my classroom sometime.
