Circle activities for preschool
|
|
Hey there! I teach English at preschool levels (4-5 years old kids). They love circle activities where they can sit down , stand up, follow instructions and play but I have run out of ideas. Would you please help me! Thanks in advance ; )

What about teaching them some animals from pictures like ; elephant, dog, cat, bird, snake,monkey, lion. Animals you can mime or make a noise like. An elephant you can raise your arm from your face like a trunk and make a noise like the animal.
1 Do the actions with the teacher. Teacher says word and children repeat and copy action.
2 Teacher says the word and students do the action.
3 Guess the animal the teacher is doing.
4 Who can do the action quickest when the teacher says the word (slowest person sits down).
5 Students pretend to be an animal, winner goes next.
6 Guess the flashcard.
They seem to enjoy it. Darryn.

When my guys are tired or fed up, we sometimes play 11. 1. Stand in a circle. 2. Count round the circle. RULE: Each student can say one, two or three numbers - no more. 3. Whoever has to say �11 � and it cannot be missed out - is out and has to sit down. 4. Continue until there is a winner.
My guys love this and we vary it with 21. However, I always have to put up with hissy fits from bad losers and my guys are all aged over eleven! |
