S . ESL Teaching

This is a project about seasons I'm doing with a group of students (small group). I took them out to the park and each child chose a tree that he/she particularly liked. We took a picture of them with the tree, took a leaf and drew the tree (made a little booklet about seasons). Then we will come back again when the season changes and take a picture with the same tree every season and have a look at how it changed over the time (and maybe have a look at how much we changed and grew also :p). We sing songs that match the season and play games and basically have a great English lesson outside.

A game you can play using this song ...  Have the kids sitting in a circle and close their eyes. (Prepare a biiig cookie, that you can reuse all the time, maybe using salt dough or just a paper cookie), walk behind the kids, sing a song together, drop the cookie behind one of the children without them noticing and sit down with them. Start the nursery rhyme using the real names of the kids instead of the animals. Each time a name is mentioned this child has to look behind them and then say "Not me"  or "Yes I have the cookie, mniam mniam mniam."
