First class by Hazel and Abigail.

Topic: My family

Class 1-Vocabulary

Nº of students: 3

To start the class teacher Hazel pasted in the board a chart with a "Family tree" with the spelling of the family members. Then, students made a circle and passed a ball and when the music stops, the kid who had the ball must take a flashcard with a family member and paste it in the correct place of the tree.

NOTE: I think that teachers Hazel and Abigail are very creative to make dynamics.

Second, teacher Abigail pasted in the board flashcards of the family members and explained the spelling and the pronunciation. To check if students had understood, teacher Abigail removed the flashcardas and played a memory game, where students had to remember each family member.

Then, teachers moved the desks and put an object related to the family member, for example: the desk that had the word sister also had a doll. Moreover, when the teacher said a name of a family member students had to run and take the correct object, and the student who take it first get a prize.

NOTE: the activities that teacher Abigail and Hazel did were amused.

Third, students were given envelopes with scrambled words, then teacher said a word of a family member and students had to form the correct spelling of the word. The student who finished first got a point.

To finish, students were presented with a matching game, flashcards of the family members were pasted in the board with a number. Students had to choose two numbers to find the correct pair of family members. The student who matched more pictures got a point.

NOTE: The game was great for children, and I realised that they were very excited to participate.
