Younger children will love from this song from the Disney version of The Jungle Book. It comes with a worksheet and requires very little English. Young beginners can follow what is happening by the pictures.

The tune/melody is very catchy (easy to remember) though the words themselves are hard ('bare necessities'). The focus should be on sound - but don't be too hard on pronunciation.
