DOLPHINS NOVEMBER 2015

DOLPHINS

10th November 2015

Some material from Macmillan
Alphabet line upThis is a good way to teach the alphabet to your class.  Give each student an alphabet flashcard with a different letter of the alphabet on it, starting at "A" (e.g. if you have 7 students, give flashcards A through to G). Have them move around the room to music.  When the music stops, they must line up in order.  You can also play with missing letters (e.g.. Give a "c", then an "f", a "k", an "o", etc).  That way they are really learning the order, not just memorizing.

Alphabet Soup  Place plastic letters in a bowl. Divide flashcards by their beginning letters. Each student draws a letter from the bowl and then finds the flashcards associated with that letter. (Submitted by Lori Supernaw)

Alphabet Wave: Divide the a-z flashcards among all your students.  Put students in a line and play the ABC song.  As it plays each student must hold up their corresponding alphabet flashcard.

A simple game to remember the objects in a classroom

Colours
My favourite colour - Reading and writing.

Some more colours. The video is a bit slow, but includes black, brown, grey and white.
You can make it more interesting by

• doing the repeats in silence and getting the students to say the names of the colours
• predicting the next colour.
• going round the classroom and the children saying the colour that pops up when it is their turn. Everytime they make a mistake you go back to the beginning.
