This was our first experience teaching children with my colleague Nelson, I had to break the ice and sing the song "If you're happy" in the warm up stage. I asked students to stand up and make a circle, we had pasted a poster with the lyrics on the board and I read the words one by one so that students could get familiar with the lyrics, then they followed me and did the mimics for example clap your hands and stomp your feet.
Then my partner Nelson continue with the vocabulary target that was going to be presented in the reading showing them flashcards and labels. We asked students to repeat the words as many times as necessary and also did the mimic of the words. It was great to see that students understood the vocabulary because we asked them to match the labels with the flashcards and all of them wanted to participate and go to the board. In the next stage, we gave them the reading and asked to take a look at it for 1 minute, then showed them three different headings so they could chose the one that better described the reading.
After that we have them to read the complete text about family, some of them did not understand the instructions and we had to go one by one and explain the activity. It's important to use clear and short instructions when teaching children, most of the time they won't get the idea if you use long structured sentences.
In the post stage, we gave students a different text and ask them to complete it using their personal information about their family.
To finish the class we pass a ball and count to five and the child who gets the ball had to do the mimic of the vocabulary taught in the lesson and point it on the board.
