Basic class format 2º infantil
60 min class:
-Reinforcement. 10 min.
Drill and questions using the new and old material from Main activity.
-Wrap-up game. Finish class and have fun! This is a great time to review any
and all materials from any part of the year as well as to continue to reinforce
newly learned materials.
Warm-up questions- At the end of the year, students should be able to ask and
answer the following questions:
-How are you today?
-What is your name?
-How old are you?
Get students moving quickly and enjoying the beginning of class. Class will be
much more enjoyable and organized if you have their attention form the
beginning. After some basic warm-up questions and review of the emotions (I
am happy/sad, etc) You can start with a Simon says for example using the
vocabulary or the song from the current theme.
Introduction to new theme- It is best not to give the students the Spanish
translations, but to teach new material always through demonstration and drill.
For example, begin asking them questions using the new vocabulary. Make this
part as visual as possible by drawing everything possible on the board. Label all
of the words possible, even if they can´t all read. The majority will try and at
five years old they are just starting to learn to read in school. Use flashcards as
much as possible with immediate repetition from students. This is at least a fifty-
fifty use of time, where the students voices should be heard at least fifty percent
of the time and they should independently recognize and say the words as well.
Main activity- The main activity can include any number of stories, songs or
worksheets (one worksheet per week at the most). In every class new vocabulary
or activities should be introduced and practiced in the group.
-Sheets: Children so young will get very language acquisition out of anything
written. The only types of written activities that will be effective are ones that
include the student listening to the teacher’s instructions and following them, not
one’s where they are left to their own to write or draw.
Sheets are to be given out once every two weeks, no more than three per month
at the most.
-Songs: Song vocabulary should be pre-taught before even starting to listen to
the song. Songs should be studied for at least two weeks per song.
-Stories: Story vocabulary should be pre-taught and directly incorporate the
vocabulary and themes of the unit. Stories should be taught throughout classes
for at least two weeks to reinforce all vocabulary and expressions.
-Group activities: Activities will include card games, group projects, and pair
work. Group activities will be found in a box under the shelves.
-Movies: Movies are limited to one per trimester and should be focused on
throughout at least two classes, but only for up to 20 minutes of class time.
Movies will be described in each section of the program binder and are to be
used only when specified and outlined in the program. No videos are to be used
that are not found in the program. In showing a movie, all vocabulary will be
pre-taught and video stopped frequently for vocabulary recognition and review.
Reinforcement- This is a good time to review the work just completed, new
vocabulary, as well as to review past materials if possible. This is when students
should ask and answer questions, recognize words and repeat/recite vocabulary.
-This is also a great time for music.
Wrap-up game- (and attention-getters) Time to play! Kids should leave class
excited and energetic.
Use the vocabulary to play games which include:
-Bingo
-Hangman (always review the alphabet first and write it on the board for
reference)
-Tic-Tac-Toe with vocabulary
-Simon Says
-Draw a person/animal/robot, etc. on the board in a group. Each student is called
up one by one to add to the figure. Teacher says: ¨Draw a head (nose, eye, etc.)¨
-Fetch. Flashcards are placed around the room with tape and teacher calls out to
each student one object that they must run and fetch with a time limit.
-Dance stop. ¨Las estatuas¨ Music is put on and students dance. When music is
stopped (at any point during the song) students must all freeze.
