A short story with threes that the children can respond with 3 actions to each page. The pages can then be altered to other numbers so the children can give different number of reponses. There is a little book for the children to colour and take home.

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

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.

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!)

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.

The children work towards a barn dance with Spanish lyrics, giving and asking for names.

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.

Learners study character adjectives, then use a rubrick to write a letter that describes themselves. On reading out the letters other learners must guess who in the class wrote that.

A very simple song using Spanish to play the 'What's the time Mr Wolf?' game. I ask the children to form a line and while they walk forwards I walk backwards in front of them. This keeps the game under control.

A step by step process to build the practice and vocabulary necessary to participate in a dialogue to order food and drink in a café.

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.

There are sentences to trace over and space for children to put their faces. I like to get passport photos of the children and they can cut out their faces and stick them in.

Colour in the clothes with the words indicated. Cover them with the people, and see if you can remember who has what.

Learn how to say what has happened and make suggestions for a course of action.

Saying where a place is, giving roadside directions, sying where you and family members live and giving population sizes of major UK cities.

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.

Covers: the letter ñ; giving your name; yes, no and don't know with a name guessing game; tú, usted and how are you?; how are you game; review of lesson.
