Default Re: Got any tips for teaching 4 & 5 year olds?

Kids mimic language, rather than learn grammar. So you can use some advanced grammer to express simple ideas and they will catch one. DevonT, of SuperSimpleSongs posted on mes-english.com's forum a nice long post about this age group. One idea he mentioned was fishing. Make a few fishing polls with magnets on the tip of the line and paper fish with paperclip mouths can be placed on the floor. Bam good situation for lots of English.

I'm going to catch a blue fish.
What are you going to catch?
Oops, I caught a pink fish.
What did you catch?
How many fish did you catch?
What color is that fish?
There's a red fish.
etc.

Well,
just an idea
