New Games to Teach Body Parts!

-

Here are my latest Boom Card games. They have a song to teach eight body parts: chin, neck, wrist, elbows, hair, back, fingers, and ankles... There is a video of the song embedded... It's a familiar tune! I'm not a singer. Take a listen and get a laugh! 😃😄

The first one is for non-readers, the second for readers and the third is for children who want to test their knowledge without hearing the word.

I take suggestions if there is a particular vocabulary group your children would like...

The links above are valid for two weeks...

Have fun!

Fourteen Tips for Raising Bilingual Children This post is geared to the parents on my blog here, but many of these tips can work for teachers as well… Make it relevant. Kids need a reason to want to learn another language. If they see no connection, they’ll be far less interested. Can you point out cousins they’ll want to talk to? Games they’ll be able to play? Have engaging materials on-hand. Check out the local bookstore/toy store, visit Goodwill, Salvation Army or Emmaus, Facebook used items pages and ask friends if you can borrow or buy up their older children’s old comic books and popular series. Learning should be natural. What child likes sit-in-a-chair-and-memorize-type lessons? Let her take an art, dance, music or cooking class in the target language! Lockdowns brought about new online opportunities… Or watch a favorite movie! Do you sing together? Learn a new song! Create something educational based on your child’s interests in the target language. Make your own movie

My Favorite Preschool Book Authors by Kelly Bostrom Robic I love, love, love children's books!  There is nothing more enjoyable to me than sitting down and reading a favorite story to my students. Parents often ask me for recommendations of books that could fit their children's ages and interests. These are many of the books that I use when teaching English to children in preschool, though they can also work for older children, depending on their level. I chose these based on my own personal favorites, but also for how well they have done over the years in keeping my students' attention with their engaging stories and delightful illustrations.  10.  Margaret Wise Brown . My all-time favorite book to read to my own children was Good Night Moon . It’s a soothing story about a room with a small “child,” a rabbit, who is going to sleep. The narrator says good night to everything in the room, such as a red balloon, a telephone, a pair of socks, two kittens, etc. The vocabulary i

"Ten Fingers" Body Parts Song

Okay, so who isn't tired of singing, "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" (HSKT) with the kiddos?  Sure, it's a great song, but I needed something else. I wanted something that is also just as fun to act out, and I wanted a song that included important body parts like arms and legs that aren't in HSKT... As I often do when I can't find something, I just created something to fit my needs. In this case, it was the short song, "Ten Fingers." (Disclaimer: I'm no singer, but you can get the tune!)  You can find a video of "Ten Fingers" on the fifth card of these Boom Cards until Feb 19, 2022. (Boom's system enables the links to work for a two-week period. If you're finding this blog post later, drop me an email for a fresh link .)  https://boom.cards/fastplay / mwqw If you're not sure what Boom Cards are, please take a look at my post from July 24, 2020.   If you check out the rest of my Boom account you can see that I make a variet
