The pinata game!

.

To play the pinata game, hang the pinata in its designated place and have the guests stand in a single file line three metres away.

Traditionally, to play the pinata game you blindfold the first child in line, gently spin them around three times, and give them a wooden stick so they can hit the pinata.

If the children are preschoolers, the option of blindfolding can be dropped and you can just spin each child around and give them the opportunity to hit the pinata.

Give each child the opportunity to hit the pinata at least twice.
As each guest tries to hit the pinata, it is extremely important to make sure everyone is standing at least five metres away from the guest with the stick.
In addition, when the pinata is broken, make sure the guest has completely stopped swinging the wooden stick before letting everyone gather the toys and candy

Listening

Hii Blogger!!!! 

Today I'm talking about how to teach children listening. 

When we learn a language it's essential to listen to the natives of that country. That's why it's important that teachers teach and work on the listening in class.

First of all, teachers have to motivate children. The best way is through tasks with songs and activities in which they participate.

Also, Teachers have to do activities before the listening, because children will understand better than if they haven't worked on this vocabulary.  Children have to feel good and teachers have to make it fun.

And finally, Teachers should do the listening in class without the radio. The outcome will be better if the teacher himself is the one speaking, or even better, if it is one of the students who talks for the other ones to listen.

See you soon!!!!

My favorite book and movie: The lion King

When I was a child my book and my favorite movie was king leon.

When I was in my house I was telling my mother that I read the book or to put my video.

I loved to sing the songs that appeared in the film.

Simba was my favorite character. 

My mother bought me a costume to sing.

Whenever I can I put the movie or songs to my students and my cousins to have fun with them.
