							| Hi! once more I need your help. can you suggest any ideas for an open class? Parents will come to watch their kids working in class and I �d like to make them participate in the class. the main topics will be numbers and animals. How can they work together? thanks in advance |  30 Oct 2012

							| Hi! may be you can play kind of jeopardy and the categories could be: mimics, put the letters in order, guessing the riddle, and so on. |  30 Oct 2012

							| Bruce  jg574, you can have cardboard animals (10 for instance if they �ve learnt up to 10) and draw circles on the floor. Parents team up with kids and have to follow orders : put six hens in the circle (the fastest couple parent - kid, wins and then you say another number and animal again and so on ...)  YOu can also draw a big animal on paper and each couple has to color it. Another idea, each parent stands behind a line on the floor, they have different animals on the board (10 of each for instance) and their child is in front of the board. When you say e.g. " 3 goats " each kid has to pick 3 from the board and when he/she has them in his/her hands, the parent runs to him/her and picks the cardboard animals and then runs back to the line. First one to get there wins. I guess games are what works best in open classes with (small?) children ... |  31 Oct 2012
