Full Moon Wordsearch

Using the video created in the classroom with Paul Klee's painting, "Full Moon", we are going to ask our students to find the different shapes and geometrical bodies used by them.

So first, I advised to show the video again, and later, go for the activity.

Here it is the link. I hope you enjoy it!

In this activity we will test our students memory and, at the same time, we can review the different activities we have done so far about animals.
They will need to remember which animals appear in our videos and which ones no.

Here is the link to the activity!

Jack & Jill

With this activity, we will test a little bit our students' listening skills:
Thanks to "Jack & Jill", the nursery rhyme, we will practice the "AI" phonem, which is one of the first ones our students will have to face and understand with two different vowels together blending a new sound.
Here is the video and the song: 



Here it is the activity!

Animalphabet Jukebox

Music plays an important role when we teach English in the classroom. That's why I created Animalphabet Jukebox. 
Thanks to it, I can work phonics, the alphabet, animals and, at the same time, have some fun listening to some great songs related to the animals in the book.
E.g: 




I invite you to go to Youtube to watch and listen to the different songs that you can find in the book and, have fun with your students!

Here you have the link to enjoy it:

Full Moon

Developing the artistic skills of our students is another fun way to learn English. Here there is one example of what my younger students made. I show them previously to the activity, several works from the artist Paul Klee. 
We worked on the painting "Full Moon". Colours and shapes are its more important features. 
I proposed my students to "build" their own Full Moon as the main activity. Here is a short video with their works: 

Other activities we did in class and that you can do too are:
  • Drawing and coloring their own Full Moon on paper.
  • Wrapping up several boxes in order to create a 3D Full Moon artwork.
