a stocking; an alphabet pictionary (cards) and a blank card (isntead of a lump of coal card) are needed.
In small groups, kids take turns pulling a card out of the stocking. If they can identify the picture and the sound, they can keep the card. If they pull the blank card they have to put all the cards back in the stocking
Now, not only can kids ask me or other peers to spell a word without asking the letter in Portuguese, but they can also play hangman and revise lots of other words!
3 schools: 140 kids and plenty of names to memoriseIdentity is everthing, so my first activity was the making of a name tag.Name tags and pegs did the trick!
1st and 2nd graders
Kids glue a name tag with an apple shape on a peg and wear it.
3rd and 4th graders kids glue a simple name tag on a peg and wear it too! (thanks Dila for sharing)
