Default Re: Kindergarten Classroom Language

I'm also teaching the little ones in Turkey. I have not actually taught classroom language but I do some basic things at the beginning of the year to get straight the basics. First we sing our 'Stand Up, Sit Down', song, which is basically this:
Stand Up (pause) Sit Down (pause) (repeat)
Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap your hands, Clap them nice and loud! SU, SD (repeat)
Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap your knees, Slap them nice and loud!
SU, SD, SU, SD
Stamp, Stamp Stamp Stamp Stamp your feet, Stamp them nice and loud!
It's fun and gets to the point.
We also go over the classroom rules with the Turkish teacher, with clear pictures of children doing each thing we expect them to do: (raise your hand, speak softly, keep your hands to yourself, etc.) I also numbered them, so when they shout out an answer, I will say Rule No. 1, Raise Your hands please
You will practice this all year, so they will eventually get it.
Make your lesson fun but structured and things should fall into place. Good Luck!
