Default Re: 3-5 years olds

I teach 4 and 5 year olds and have been basing my lessons round songs. I do lots of activities with the vocabulary (a bit of drilling, "Point/Run to the..." flashcards round the room, make a... out of play doh etc) Then sing the song, of course. Good songs: Old MacDonald, Wheels on the Bus, Heads, Shoulders Knees and Toes. They LOVE the game JUMP - prepare flashcards of vocab you want to teach/practise and insert pictures of someone jumping every so often. Show the cards one by one, all students repeat vocab, when they come across a jumper they all jump up (sometimes I go round individually testing words and if someone makes a mistake they all jump 10 times (or however many you decide) saying the word. They LOVE it!)
