Kindergarten

Magic word:

Everyone stands up at the front of their seats, you choose one word (from the lesson words) to be the magic word, you say it very loudly and the kids repeat loudly after you, about 3 times, then you say one word (from the lesson words) each time they repeat and take one step forward towards the teacher, after 4 or 5 words you SHOUT the magic word so they know the difference. When the students hear the magic word they must run back to their seats, you act as a tiger and try to catch one student, other students must run back to their seats before you catch one of them whoever has been caught must say the words from the lesson. Then let him go back to his seat and repeat the game. THE STUDENTS LOVE THIS GAME.

Pass the ball (one or two balls and a bell )

All the children sit into a circle,
You get a ball or anything they can have in their hands to pass it around and a tambourine or a bell.
Start the game when you say one two three ok go!
And start shaking the bell/tamborine.
All the kid must clap their hands and stamp their feet and shout “hurry” in English while they pass the ball.
When the ball has passed about 8 or 9 kids you suddenly stop shaking the bell and say stop

The student who has the ball in hands must come up to you and repeat the lesson words after you All this must be explained in Chinese before the game start, you can show them how to do it.
Do it 5 or 6 times will be all right for their concentration.

Run around the classroom (need two toys them have in hands some candy)

All the kids sit into two lines facing each other,
You sit at one end of the lines.
After they have gone through all the words pick up one student from each line
