Default Re: one on one with a seven year old

I understand what you're saying Beatrix. I 've found that not all children like songs, especially when they are alone in an individual class. But if the problem is the type of songs, well then maybe 'Down by the Bay' is something your boy would like. It's challenging becuase it's fast and the last part has to be a rhyme. If he's capable he could do it himself. Like I said in the other post, I usually do that part for them.
I'd like to suggest a game that my 7 year old absolutely loves: "Guess Who?" I bought it when I was in Canada but I remember reading how to make it on the Net somewhere. The game consists of guessing which person the other player has by using the process of elimination. It's excellent for using present simple and continuous (ex. Does your person have a beard? Is she wearing earrings?) and for learning vocabulary used to describe people.
I remember her enjoying the card game "Go Fish" when we were doing numbers and we used a cartoon card deck (Dora, I believe) for playing Old Maid to learn Occupations.

Anything at which she can beat me, she likes. Basically that's what it comes down to. I think the more clever ones have a better developed instinct for competition most of the time so games where he is playing against you might be more fun and instructive for your boy.
If these are the kind of examples you were looking for let me know and I'll keep going....
