Teaching the Song

To help our students learn the song, we can start by playing the song in class and asking students to listen to the lyrics. We can also provide the lyrics written on the board or printed on paper. Before starting to teach the song, we can discuss the meaning behind the lyrics with the class. The lyrics of Teach Me How to Dougie describe a dance where the dancer extends their arms and moves their shoulders while bouncing to the beat. The song encourages everyone to join in and dance to the music.After discussing the lyrics and meaning behind the song, we can ask our students to listen to the song once more. This time, students can work in pairs and try to fill in the gaps of the lyrics that we provide. Once they have understood the lyrics and have practiced singing along with the song, we can ask some of the students to perform in front of the class.

Teaching the Dougie Dance

The Dougie dance is a popular hip-hop move that complements the song. To teach the Dougie dance, we can use a video tutorial or break it down step-by-step in class. We can demonstrate the dance move in front of the class and then have the students try to follow along. We can also provide tips on improving the dance, such as loosening up the arms and shoulders and maintaining a smooth rhythm.To make the class more engaging and fun, we can organize a small dance competition where students can showcase their dance moves. Students can work in groups and choreograph their own Dougie dance routines. This activity will help students work on their coordination and develop their creativity.
