Hunt round for the right porridge, chair and bed for each bear (oso), have a sing song and pretend to be each bear, with a bilingual story to read and take home.

See the farm, and hear the noises the animals make. Words and music.

A look at how this structure is used, the pitfalls, using reflexive verbs and plenty of practice.

Find the fireman, roll out the flames, draw a firedog (american tradition), match capital and small letters as you find the water and flame partners. All part of thinking about fire and people who help us, using Spanish.

Lesson plan with resources to learn greetings at different times of day.

An everyday good morning song. A circle song, with 2 ladybirds in the middle. At the end of each verse each ladybird goes to the circle to choose a friend ladybird until we get to 8 and it stops there each time. (The singing is just for demonstration and never sounds like I would like it to!)

Learners read a Spanish text with the teacher about what Mexican children do for their birthday, and answer questions about it. Learners study the months, sing the months, and write about their own birthdays.

Materials to build a short dialogue to be repeated with many friends - find out how you partner is, why they feel that way, and invite them out. Will they say yes, or give you a good excuse not to come with you.

Variations on a theme of 2 little dickie birds. I use a different creature each week, but otherwise the rhyme remains the same. Words, creature faces to stick on fingers, and an audio to hear how it sounds roughly.

Simple statements which can be introduced with pictures, acted out in a drama class, then followed up by illustrating a mini book. The document is printed on both sides of one sheet, then it will cut down the middle long-ways to fold into a book.

I use a puppet pig, and sing this song and feed him. There are echoes throughout the song, and Chancho notices which children manage to sing the echoes. Apologies for the quality of my singing and the recording - I'm no singer, it&'s just to get the idea accross.

3 children at a time are chosen to be a family and say 'Soy Papa Buho', and have a hug. An interlude under the sheet game, and then children taking turns to be in a fish family, followed by an 'in and out the dusty windows' song with the fish swimming in and out of plants in the water (pieces of green paper around the carpet.
