Pictograms

Here's Anne(a), the main character. She is laughing. U has no hair. G -for girl- and H --for Hatboy- are ... Can you guess the rest?

Ss remember not only how to write the new words, but how to pronounce them as well. I think they are a great tool! See more at http://papadeligames.wordpress.com/english/

Make your pictures interactive. Can be used for classroom and home use. See my example and make yours.

Language

e.g. adjectives ( happy/sad, old/young, tall/short, fat/thin......)

Material

card, glue, scissors

Procedure

1. Give each pair a copy of the pictures and the words as they are above . Then ask pupils to stick their photocopies onto card and cut out the 17 cards.

2. Pupils shuffle the cards and hand them out (one pupil wil l have 9 cards and the other 8). Pupils should hold their cards in their hand without letting their partner see them.

3. Tell them that the aim of the game is to get rid of their cards forming pairs of pictures and words. To do so they must get rid o the “Grumpy Grandpa” card which does not have a pair.

4. First, each pupil puts the pairs they already have got face up on the table, saying the adjectives out loud. The other player checks that the picture and word cards match.

5. Now pupils take turns picking a card from each other’s hand (without seeing which one it is). Then they check if they can form a new pair. If they can, they put the cards down, say the words out loud, and offer the cards left in their hand to their partner to choose from.

6. The game continues until one pupil has no cards left and the other pupil is left with the “Grumpy Grandpa” card.

Happy teaching,

These two l letters are presented as apple trees. One of the apples falls and says "aw !" . So, remember: whenever you see an apple under these two apple trees, it says "aw" because it's disappointed.

Letter T here is a beautiful, tall woman. She likes talking, too. When she sings, she says Ttttttttttt...

Greetings from Greece,

The best way to learn the alphabet is presenting stories for each letter, draw characters that help Ss visualize the shapes and sound. Craft is the best memory trick!

Many thanks to our 6 - year - old artists!...

How I present the letters:

One letter a day, both cases. I make a story about them and draw the letters as characters. I always teach them in a song I make up
e.g. HH, Hh, hat
Hh, Hh, hat
It sounds like a rap song with some clapping

H is the mother and h is the daughter. They both wear hats. Soft hats. That ´s because they live in a very hot country. They never wear shoes because they hate noise. They always whisper. Hhhhhhh
They are family. They do the same things. So, they are presented together.
They have a surname. Mrs Hat is short but proud of her tall and thin daughter. That ´s why she ´s so happy...
They could also be presented as father and son and represent the pronoun he. I give names as Helen, Hope... You could add bubbles to make them say their favourite words such as Hello, Hi... They are sociable, like meeting people and they have best friends. They usually go out with c...ch and make other sounds.
