Default Re: child and adult class... any ideas ???

Just want to thank everybody for their help and contributions. Classes have been going great ! getting the parents involved in the actual teaching has been wonderful. Teaching them the focus questions and than getting them to ask the kids, they are both equally learning more that way. But also find that making fools out the parents really lightens them up, not necessarily always English related but always good for a laugh. Egg and spoon race, rice sack races, running around with balloons between their legs, things that are very simple but get the parents really involved. And funny songs that maybe the kids cant sing but the parents def can, and getting them to do a little performance – one finger one thumb ( thanks musica ). So a lot easier for me now, and everybody is enjoying themselves and learning a lot of english. Thanks everybody.
