Colors Songs

跟著Angel的喜好選擇的歌曲,我學到了幾個基礎色彩學的專有名詞講法,有點後悔以前美術課沒有學好,這些很基本的配色原裡如果早點了解,買衣服、買家飾、做網頁,應該會更有美感!

在聽歌之前,先看一下color wheel(色環),至於這個色環是怎麼來的,聽完後面的歌曲就知道了!

基礎色彩學組曲

The Colors Song

在這首歌當中,我們可以學到–

primary colors(三原色)、second colors(合成色/三間色)

warm colors(暖色)、cool colors(冷色)

The Advanced Colors Song

這首進階的色彩歌,一開始先幫我們複習了primary colors和secondary colors,接著之前那六個顏色再跟隔壁互相混色,得到六個第三級的顏色,稱為:

Tertiary  [t’ɚʃɚi] (六間色)

Primary, secondary and tertiary colors.
tertiary colors 可以用red-orange, yellow- orange, yellow-green, blue-green… 來命名,可以很清楚了解、想像是哪兩個顏色混合而成。上圖是他們比較特別的名字,看起來很浪漫,但沒接觸過這個字的話很難想像到底是什麼顏色。

接下來介紹的是在色環中面對面的顏色,叫做

Complementary 〔 ˋkɑmplәmәnt 〕 (互補色)

互補色放在一起能互相突顯。

互補色可以讓主題很顯眼

再來是色環中相鄰的任二~三個顏色,稱之為:

Analogous [əˈnæləgəs] 相鄰色

另外,單一顏色的話叫做–

monochromatic [ˌmɑn·ə·kroʊˈmæt̬·ɪk] (單一色)

The Value Song

這首歌加入了黑、白、(不同程度的)灰等三個顏色,形成了不同的–

value ( 明度 )–shade, tone, tint

  • + black –> shade
  • +grey –> tone
  • +white –> tint

My Daddy is the best, the best there ever was

My Daddy is the best, and I love him just because

He tells me silly stories and tucks me in at night

He helps me not to be afraid when he turns out the light

接下來每段都會重覆前兩句,所以我只放每段的後兩句

He’s always playing music, and lets me sing along

He also dances with me, and sings my favorite songs

He always takes us places, like camping or on hikes

He taught me how to catch a fish and helped me ride my bike

He listens to my problems, he knows just what to do

He’s my biggest hero, It’s true!

He always takes good care of us, he’s kind as he can be

He’s the greatest Daddy that we have ever seen!

最後一段

I love to be your Daddy

Really? It’s true!

You fill my life with lots of joy

You’re my favorite girls and boys!

Really? It’s true!

I love you!

Three Little Pigs

Three Little Pigs

其中幾段的歌詞

Three little pigs went out one day

One built a house made out of hay

The other pigs thought it would fall, fall, fall

But the first didn’t care at all.

Then came a wolf who was big and bad

He was incredibly hungry and mad

The three little pigs saw the wolf that day

They slammed their doors and hid away

“Little pig, little pig, let me in!”

“Not by the hair on my chinny-chin chin!”

“Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow, blow, blow!”

And boy, did the hay house go!

因為歌詞太多,我挑幾段出來,需要完整歌詞的人可以在該影片底下的”顯示完整資訊”可以找到。完整歌詞在這裡

另外有一首三隻小豬的變化版,是結合了一首很輕快的歌曲–The Big Ship Sails On The Ally-ally-oh
這首歌有非常多的版本,可見應該是一首有歷史、典故的歌曲,但我遍尋不著,只查到說是八、九零年代很流行的歌曲
這首同場加映的歌在底下(找不到單曲,這首歌是這個合輯的第一首):

另一首故事改編的兒歌:The Tortoise and the Hare

自然拼讀輕鬆學–Super Phonics

Pinkfong頻道這首歌是教英文自然拼讀的一些組合, 原本是一個組合一首歌,我找到的這個是合輯,長度約30分鐘。每個拼音組合都會選3~7個代表字,以這幾字去組合成一些句子或小故事。

以下列出這首歌包含的所有組合和代表字,為了方便在沒看影片時也可以複習,可以把這一段剪貼列印出來:

這首歌對於開始在學習自然拼讀的孩子來說會很有趣,加上搭配的曲調是常見的兒歌,很容易就學起來了。在保護視力以及不要讓孩子感到煩膩的前提下,我的建議是一次看10~15分鐘,這首歌分成幾次把它看完。等到從頭到尾看過5、6遍之後,每個字的聲音和畫面都已經在小孩腦中做結合了,就可以改用只聽音樂不看畫面了。

自然發音延伸閱讀: SING AND MASTER THE ALPHABET FROM A TO Z!

自然發音輕鬆學–Sing and Master the Alphabet From A to Z!

現在的幼稚園如果有教英語,都會教自然發音,Angel接觸英文字母的自然發音算起來也一年多了,現在聽到某個字能夠說出第一個和最後一個字母是什麼。

其他的拼音規則則是最近還在沉浸的。之所以說”沉浸”是我會花比較多時間(每次5~10分鐘、一天2~3次,時程拉長不求快)讓她看課程、教材、練習,同樣的拼讀組合會不斷複習,她會覺得不耐煩說已經看過了啊,但其實還是不會。不強求她練習過一、兩次就要會,老實說太強求自己會感到很挫折。一方面對於她的不耐煩也要好好安撫、鼓勵。

Angel的聽覺學習很棒,聽過的字或句子,不管中文或英文,多半能馬上仿說地很正確,過很久之後也能記得。我本來以為她是語言天才,結果遇到要”認字”時,就覺得–唉,畢竟她也才三、四歲而已。還是要多點耐心等她吧!

Pinkfong頻道這首歌是教英文字母的自然發音, 原本是一個字母一首歌,我找到的這個是合輯,從A到Z,長度約40分鐘。每個字母都會選四個代表字,以這四個字去組合成一些句子或小故事。

舉例:

A–alligator, apple,ant, airplane
D–dog, donkey, duck, dragon

這首歌對於還沒學習自然發音或初學者很有幫助,因為很有趣,而且搭配的曲調是常見的兒歌,很容易琅琅上口。在保護視力的前提下,我的建議是一次看10~20分鐘,這首歌分成幾次把它看完。等到從頭到尾看過3~5遍之後,每個字的聲音和畫面都已經在小孩腦中做結合了,就可以改用只聽音樂不看畫面了。

10 Little Fishes

這首歌除了學習1-10的數字之外

還有某個數字+1之後變成多少的練習,例如–
One little fish swimming in the sea.
Along came another one, and then there were two.

除此之外,可以訓練孩子的專注力(留意自己數到多少了)

每3組一個大段落

第一大段是第1~4隻魚
(1+1=2;2+1=3;3+1=4)

第二大段是4~7隻魚,第三大段是7~10隻魚

然後每個大段後面加一組–
Swimming swimming swimming in the sea.
That big old shark will never catch me.
第三大段之後,這一組唱三次
接著最後是–
He’ll never, Never, Never, Never,
That big old shark will never catch me!

這樣,是不是就記起來怎麼唱了呢?

歌詞:

One little fish swimming in the sea.
Along came another one, and then there were two.

Two little fishes swimming in the sea.
Along came another one, and then there were three.

Three little fishes swimming in the sea.
Along came another one, and then there were four.

Swimming swimming swimming in the sea.
That big old shark will never catch me.

Swimming swimming swimming in the sea.
That big old shark will never catch me.

Swimming swimming swimming in the sea.
That big old shark will never catch me.

He’ll never, Never, Never, Never,

With parcels fat and thin
Finding carrots for his reindeer
And cookies for him

Christmas Songs for Kids

花了大約一星期,初期篩選歌曲時就聽了五、六個小時的聖誕歌
一開始預計選12首歌,後來忍不住加了一些,變成16首
雖然每一首歌只是修改一下網址、剪貼歌詞(有些找不到的歌詞就用聽寫的)、找一下可能符合英文初學者程度的單字,有些寫幾句前言,就這樣,竟又花了十幾個小時。對於應景歌曲來說,實在是太趕了!(還好趕上了……)

歌曲列表:

這些歌大概包含幾個元素或主題:

12 Days Of Christmas

「聖誕節的12日」這首歌起源於18世紀的英格蘭,是英國兒童演唱的一種記憶的遊戲,在遊戲中玩家必須記住所有先前的歌詞,並在末尾添加新的歌詞,那些無法記住的人以親吻或給糖果的形式來結束遊戲。

這首歌不只是訓練記憶力,也包含了序數(第幾)和倒數的練習。

聖誕節的12天是從12月25日(耶穌基督的誕生)慶祝到主顯節(在1月5日慶祝耶穌榮耀顯現的日子),有些人會在12天的每一天交換禮物,而不僅僅是在聖誕節那天,「12 Days of Christmas」這首歌就根據贈禮的習俗,搭配聖經上的典故,寫了1 2樣禮物。

單字&這12樣禮物代表的意義如下:

1. a partridge in a pear tree (一隻站在梨樹上的鷓鴣鳥) =即神之子,耶穌基督。

2. Turtle Doves (兩隻鳩)=舊約及新約聖經。

3. French Hens (三隻法國母雞)=信、望、愛三教義。

4. Calling Birds (四隻鳴唱的鳥兒)=新約聖經的前四卷,或者這四福音的四位作者。

5. Golden Rings (五隻金戒指)=摩西五經,主要是在講人類為何墮入凡塵。

6. Geese A-laying (六隻生蛋的鵝)=主創造世界的六天

7. Swans A-swimming (七隻游水的天鵝)=七種聖事,即洗禮、堅信、聖禮、告解、塗油、敘階和婚姻。

8. Maids A-milking (八位擠奶的佣婦)=八福,即穌登山訓眾所說的八種幸福。

9. Ladies Dancing (九位跳舞的女士)=九種聖果,即仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、溫柔、節制。

10. Lords A-leaping (十個跳躍的男人)=十誡。

11. Pipers Piping (十一個吹風笛的風笛手)=十一個忠心的使徒。

12. Drummers Drumming (十二個打鼓的鼓手)=使徒的十二信條。

12樣禮物代表含意的出處:https://blog.csdn.net/hpdlzu80100/article/details/51752038

這篇部落格文章”聖誕節的十二天“,把十二個出自於聖經的典故,寫得還蠻詳細的,有興趣了解的人可以參考看看。
