YOu could try some songs with actions that help to introduce and reinforce vocabulary. Simple action songs are fun for the child. YOu could play the songs in the background as you are doing your teaching activities so the student becomes familiar with the songs, melodies etc. Then when you introduce the song as a part of the lesson it will not be so new to them.

Action songs are great as they involve movement. THey will want to play it again and again. THis means they can begin to chant or sing along as they become confident and then eventually, they will be practising the pronunciation over and over. Chants and singing also familiarize the student with the rhythm of the English language.
http://www.pamseslclassroom has lots of songs and ideas for younger students.
