Discovering English speaker countries!


Hi friends! On this post I’m going to talk about a project I did with 3 and 4 years old students.

As part of the AMCO routine, before starting the books, is ESSENTIAL let them know the puppets (pets) of each class. For the 3 years old class the pet is KELLY KANGAROO and she is from AUSTRALIA; FLASH THE FOX is BRITISH and is the 4 years pet.

I spent 3 days introducing the pets and discovering each country (or at least the most famous aspects) let’s get started, pick your luggage and come with us!!

I introduced both pets using a bit of “magic”. They were inside boxes and we have to knock in the box and count to ten to open it; once they did it, the pets came out bouncing and running so happy to see the kids.

Starting with Kelly, we talked about Australia, the typical animals we can find there like Kangaroos, Koalas, Sharks, snakes or Emus. Also we saw some pictures of the most famous places like the Opera of Sydney or the Uluru rocks.

Finally we colored Kelly and take our drawings home to show our families who Kelly Kangaroo was.

Here you can find some pictures of the kids coloring Kelly very enthusiastic!

           

As part of knowing Australia we sang and danced a song of the “native Australian Animals!
"here is a Sneak peek"!


4 years Old student’s pet is Flash Fox, a British fox so nice and friendly who showed us part of his culture like famous people as The Beatles, Queen Elisabeth II, Harry Potter, the Beefeaters, and Sherlock Holmes. Also we had the chance to “travel” throw the UK with the help of a video where flash showed us The Big Ben, the typical Red payphones, The Red busses, Stonehenge, the monster of lake Ness and the Tower Bridge .
 Here I post some videos of them discovering the UK!
To finish the post I upload a video of the giveaway of the kid’s material, in a really “British way” just like Sherlock Holmes!! Thank you very much for reading, hope you like it and enjoy as much as we did, Kind rewards
