Planning for tomorrow

I've noticed that I'm quite prolific on the computer and that I'm quite procrastinatory off it. So here's hoping I can sit down and prepare on my blog if nowhere else.

Tomorrow the topic is Toys.

My flash cards are:

A doll;

A teddy bear;

A kite;

A skateboard;

Four different types of balls - basketball, (soccer) football, baseball and tennis ball;

A spinning top;

A drum;

and, last but definitely not least, a robot.

I have a sense that tomorrow will be much as usual -- I will go into the class with an idea that I'll get the children to repeat the name of the object after me and then get them to perform an action related to the object after me.

For the doll -- cradling like a baby.

The teddy bear -- begin by cuddling it and then pretend to be a real bear and walk roaring towards the children with arms outstretched like a zombie.

The kite -- take out the flashcard with it's still attached strip of futureboard and pretend to be fly it and then be pulled about by it laughing whenever the wind catches the kite, as in laughter yoga with the dog on the lead.

The skateboard -- pretend to ride it around the room and do ollies on it, falling off a couple of times for the children's amusement.

Four balls - can use the basketball to recap "sports" using futureboard as racquets again and bring along hoop.

For the spinning top -- spin around quickly and then slow down and start swinging in broader arc before falling to the floor.

Drum -- use tummy as an impromptu drum and get children to repeat rhythms you beat out.

Robot -- walk around like a robot all around class room getting children to follow you and perhaps turning to walk towards children in bad robot mode.

This is all I have for the moment but I'll give it some more thought and perhaps come and re-edit this post some time in the next hour.
