This time, we will use the lyrics of the song "💿【36】Birthday Cake Is Good" featured in DWE Blue and the contents of the corresponding book "📙BOOK3" as seeds to cultivate the seeds of learning "English at Home"📝🌱
1 Introduction of the venue
This song is about the candles on a birthday cake.Blow them out one by oneThis is a scene that is perfect for a birthday 🎂🕯️
If you blow one candle out, four little candles burning.
(If you blow out one candle, four little candles will remain lit.)
(Quoted from DWE's "Sing Along!")
By repeating this phrase, you can create an if statement.This will help develop a sense of understanding andThis allows you to naturally experience the process of numbers decreasing (5→4→3...) in English.
Also,Blow out the fire → Make a wish → CelebrateThis is the series of events thatWords, actions and feelingsOne of the charms of this song is that it firmly ties these two together.
Through pretend play and birthday games,A scene that can be recreated over and over again in everyday lifeThat's why English expressions become firmly established as "your own words" 😊💕

3 Column ~Imagine countable and uncountable nouns~
Here is the key phrase of this song 👇
- Eat a piece of birthday cake.(imperative sentence/uncountable noun)
- Birthday cake is fun to eat!(infinitive/noun usage)
Based on this phrase,Countable and uncountable nouns,andimperative sentenceI will explain about ✏️
✅ What are countable and uncountable nouns?
English nouns are divided into two main types.
- countable nouns
→ Nouns that can be counted as one or two.
Examples: apple, book, dog, etc.
→ When counting, it changes to “a(n)〜” or “two 〜s”. - uncountable nouns
→ Uncountable nouns (liquids, materials, abstract things).
Examples: water, sugar, advice, cake, etc.
→ Do not use “a(n)” or “〜s”.
You might be wondering, "What? Cake doesn't count?"
In fact, "cake" usually means "whole cake,"When divided into piecesIt's expressed as follows:
- a piece of cake
- two pieces of cake
🎂It also appears in "Ten Little Candles"!
By the way, a cupcake is a countable noun because it has a distinct shape.
→ a cupcake / two cupcakes Count like this 🍰
✅ Application: What happens to apples and cheese?
- an apple → Countable nouns
- apple slices / pieces of apple → Treated as uncountable
- a cheese (1 block of cheese)
- a piece of cheese / slices of cheese → More everyday!
In this way,"Things with shape" → countable, "things that have lost their shape" → uncountableIt's easy to understand if you think of it this way.
✅ Input imperative sentences as well!
Eat a piece of birthday cake. is in the form of an imperative sentence.
The basic rules for imperative sentences are:
- base form of verb(omitting the subject “you”)
- End with a period or an "!" (exclamation point)
🎤 The following commands also appear in DWE:
📘 Book 8, p.9
Don't do it!(Don't do that!)
📘 Book 10, p.36
Don't worry!(Don't worry!)
📘 Book 10, p.33
Never swing on an elephant's trunk.
(Don't swing on the elephant's trunk!)
→ If you use "Don't 〜" or "Never 〜",prohibition commandIt will be.
In this way, "countable and uncountable nouns" and "imperative sentences" are naturally input through songs and everyday conversations.
At Besty, our motto is "Grammar will come later."First, try using it and saying itWe value this ☺️🌸
Next time you have cake, be sure to ask, "A piece of cake?"

✅ TAC Post x Singing and Playing makes TAC a fun time!(Yume Mama)
"I want to do TAC!" I never thought that day would come.
Actually, my son loves itMcQueenThe big turning point for me was when I handmade a TAC postbox📮 using
Create a card slot in the opening of the postbox.
When I put the TAC card in there, I was singing and playing like this 👇
🎵 Yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy card!
TAC card is good, TAC card is sweet, Eat a card with your hands, TAC card is fun to eat!
Of course, the cards aren't "food" and the lyrics may not be accurate.
But! "Enjoying that moment" is even more valuable than that!
While singing, you can change the speed and have fun singing fast...
My son has started to prepare cards himself, saying, "I want to do this, so let's do TAC!"
✅ Anything is OK! "Fun" creates the habit of TAC
Thanks to this "McQueen Post" and song, our family was able to make a complete lap around TAC!
Children don't always enjoy the same things,
If they enjoy it for even a few days, you can sow the seeds of habit during that time.That's it 🌱
If you find it difficult to make a handmade postbox, a PA frog puppet 🐸 or a stuffed animal you have at home will do just fine!
Just by incorporating a few ideas that will make your child think, "This is fun!", you can make a big difference in their time at TAC☺️🧡
💭 A word from the blog administrator
I felt that this episode truly embodied the Besty style of "turning learning into play together with children."
Rather than adults worrying about what is right, I think it's better to focus on "how can we enjoy this moment right now?"
"The cards aren't food, but they're so fun you'll want to call them yummy." That feeling will lead to the next step in your learning!
