We are going to see an example of a storytelling. This is an important thing that children must learn because it help them to adquire vocabulary and to express themselves. The storytelling that we have chosen is goldilocks and the three bears. These story is very good to start because children usually know it by heart and they understand almost all the words, and and know what happens in the true story.

My favourite clothes
In this story a boy is sad when he finds that his favourite clothes don't fit him anymore.
On one hand, I love this story because you can find previously an activity with the keys word of it.
On the other hand, the dialogues are not difficult and they can read and listen at the same time if they need to do it.
Learners can listen to the dialogue as much as they like, and later on they can make some activities about this topic.
Finally, there are some questions about the topic as “What are your favourite clothes?”, giving more ideas and flexibility to this activity.

Tongue twisters
The first activity I’ve chosen is this, because as in the page said “Listening to tongue twisters is one way to improve your English pronunciation”.
You can find from easy to more difficult, so you can improve your English pronunciation little by little in a very funny way. You can also practice with your family and friends making a contest, and we can use in the classroom too.
Are you motivated to try it?

Season-Autumn
In this exercise we could see how children use English to learn another subjects as science. Children are also developing another strategies because from our point of view this is a very enterinment activity and children can spend a good time at the same moment they are learning.
Goldilocks and the three bears
We are going to see an example of a storytelling. This is an important thing that children must learn because it help them to adquire vocabulary and to express themselves.

Paint it!
You have to follow the instructions the voice of the game gives you and paint the picture with the colour it says to you! you can colour the objects of a classroom, a zoo, ... and much more!!
This is a fun and interesting way where children can learn vocabulary in an oral activity.
Kids Songs
There are different types of songs for little children here! you can sing along and watch the video while you do it!!
Songs are very important for children when learning english, because its a fun and easy way of learning something like vocabulary in a way that children find interesting and its effective.

In this entry we are going to explain how you could carve pumpkin. It's dangerous that pupils do this activity but they can participate from their place because this is an activity that we haven't seen usually in Spain. It's important to controll in every moment the knife. But it's important that they know also another culture and learn how to do handmades.
Here we leave the example.

Here you are a website that makes you esay the difference between short vowels and hard consonants. It has also an alphabet to listen to it with examples to distinguish the difference. It is a good tool for children who are producing their first oral output.

This link is related to the same grammar (short vowel and hard consonants) below and it shows you some quizes and games for children.

They are really easy activities about phonics rules to put in practice with the games. Pay attention specially to the sounds because it is very clear and it is the most important part of the links. It is essential to have speakers or headphones.
