Sa bai dii, bo?
What a great opportunity! I spent a year in Thailand, very near the Laos border (outside of Ubon Ratchathani), living in a village where NOBODY spoke English, so I can appreciate your situation.
My best teaching tool then, and now, is music. Kids love it, and if you use songs that have actions or gestures, are simple and have useful language, I find that the students really respond.
The company I now work for, Super Simple Learning, based in Tokyo, Japan, is just one place that you can find ESL/EFL music for young learners. Our website is
Super Simple Learning. Or visit our
YouTube channel for lots of great kids' videos (although I wonder if you have internet access in the classroom? My school only had a very slow connection in the office, so definitely no videos!)
Also, we have a teaching tips section with an article you might find helpful:
Teaching 2- and 3-Year Olds
Best of luck to you!! And if you have any questions, I'm happy to help however I can. My email is sara (at) supersimplelearning.com
Cheers,
