Teach this drama-based action song role-play to practise and learn simple vocabulary about names and jobs. Kids are either Villagers or Aliens. The Aliens interrogate the Villagers in a line. They want to know each villager’s name and job. Great fun and extremely effective.

The words of the sample role-play. Guitar chords (C, G7, F) for those who can strum a guitar. The key rises 1 semi-tone for each new job so you may need a capot.
