Hi, I also teach young children in Turkey and I understand your dilemma. I've learned that it's easier to teach young kids colors, classroom objects, animals - i.e. things they can see and touch - as a starter. If they are old enough and know letters and can read in Turkish then I would suggest tracing worksheets. Coloring is also a good way to grab their attention and to get them to learn vocabulary. You'll have to go slow with the kids since they are probably not used to classroom behavior yet, even in Turkish. So stick with teaching vocabulary for things that are material. They will soon learn your teaching process and you can move on to classroom instructions. Hope that helps.
