Re: Kindergarten Classroom Language Here is a game I use that works well for 4yrs and up. All the kids stand in pairs with their fingers tips touching each other. Teacher walks around the group calling out words or sentences that have been previously learnt, i.e. I like to drink water... Teacher calls out a number of these and shouts GO. The kids run for their seats while the teacher chases them. (I very rarely catch anyone as this sometimes ends in tears). I tell them how quick they are. And then we do it again a couple of times. Kids and teachers alike love it. I also play statues, using the same principle walking slowly around the room with the kids following me, repeating what I say until I shout STATUE, and turn around to catch them out. These two games has them practicing their vocab with out noticing it. Also musical chairs, with teacher singing the lastes song they have learnt and clapping hands.
Hope this helps
