Default 3 year olds!

Hello all,

I recently started teaching at a Kindergarten in South Korea, and my youngest class consists of 8 two- and three-year-olds.

I have them only for a half an hour a week, and each new class, I basically teach them a new nursery rhyme. The classes started out well, and they enjoy singing and dancing, but they lose interest fairly quickly.

To occupy time, I've been starting with a simple version of simon says (basically, I just tell them to stand up, sit down, jump, etc), and then I read them the story, and then moving into the singing, but I find that for the last 5-10 minutes of class, they have really lost all interest. I have other games that I've used with the older classes, but I can't really teach them to the youngest ones because of the language barrier.

Summary: I'm looking for an easy English game to teach to 3 year olds to use up abou 5-10 minutes of class time. Also, I need something really easy to teach, because I cannot speak Korean at all.
