Default Re: Got any tips for teaching 4 & 5 year olds?

Use the sentences that smy2brazil used and use lots of TPR (body actions) that the kids can follow. It helps them to remember the words more and also it can be very fun for them. I use it all the time with my morning kindergarten classes and it's great to see them following me and laughing as well. The action can be used at the beginning of class and then you can move on to some flash cards or a song or writing or reading some letters depending on how much time you have per lesson. Also you can have some games where you do a certain action (taught previously) and see who remembers it (nice reminders for reforcement).

Let us know how you get on!
