SEVEN EASY HALLOWEEN ACTIVITIES TO BE DONE WITH YOUR KIDS!!!

Hello everybody! October is almost finished and one of our favorite festivals is coming: HALLOWEEN.

Have you planned what to do with your kids? if you haven't decided yet what to do, do not worry, because today I'm giving to you some great and easy ideas...

ONE: MUSICAL GAMES: 

Normally, kids love movement, action, and fun; for this reason I have chosen three musical games you can teach them in the class, before doing some crafts. Are you ready?

1.- Halloween Stomp from the famous "The Singing Walrus".

2.- Who took the candy from the trick or treat bag?: An adaptation from "Who took the cookie?" from the "Supersimple Songs".

3.-The Skeleton Dance from " Supersimple Songs"

TWO: KINDERGARDEN CRAFTS

Moreover, children need to manipulate and create, and this is what we will do with some crafts found on the website parents.com .

THREE :MONSTER RINGS

For those kids who are older, I've found a beautiful idea: Monster rings!!! Have a look at "Easy Peasy and Fun" and check all the ideas they've got HERE.

FOUR: MATCHING GAME

I'm lucky, 'cause I've found the cutest Halloween cards!! There is a matching game that you will love, and it's free! Here is the link to Simpleeverydaymom.

FIVE: HALLOWEEN PUPPETS

But of course, I have to give a special mention to The Glitter Teacher. She is amazing and she is always creating the best materials for our English lessons, and I'm sure you will choose some of her printables for this Halloween.

These Halloween puppets are gorgeous !! , don't you think so?

SIX: CLIL HALLOWEEN ACTIVITIES

Then, if you want to practice maths or science, I've got a special for you.

These counting cards are really good, it's a pity it's not easy for Spanish teachers and parents to find these counters, as they're expensive and not common, but we can try with clay balls or other cardboard objects, right?These ones are from The Kindergarden Connection.

After this, I may say science is always considered on Halloween units :-D. Just have a look at this worksheet from Supplyme!!

SEVEN:  TIME FOR A HALLOWEEN RHYME!

To sum up, its well appreciated to sing and play with rhymes and Halloween is a good day to do so.

Using this free printable resource, you will let the kids create their song and rhyme and they will have lots of fun sticking the pumpkins on their place. It'll be great if you laminate it and use velcro dots for the pumpkins. 

This activity is from Totschooling, a website with loads of resources and ideas that ca be printed freely. I normally use it in my lessons and with my little child Manuel.

So, well, thats all for this Halloween, but I'm sure you will share these ideas and give me yours!!

Be good or bad but enjoy a lot!

Kisses and hugs,

Shapes Everywhere!

Hello everyone!
Today I'm sharing with you some activities that you can do with kids related to shapes.
This song is really nice and they enjoy a lot with it.



Also, you can play this game so as to practice the different shapes vocabulary. CLICK ON THIS LINK to play the game.

I believe it would be a great idea to play with kids this game: What shapes can you see everyday? Once you're going for a walk, ask them about the different shapes they see and where they are! Doing so, they will learn a lot.

Enjoy your day!!

Discovering the Planets ;)

Hello there! In 5 years old we're studying the Solar System and our planet among others so I have thought it would be interesting to write a post for this topic too.
You will see some interesting games, songs and ideas to be done at home.
The most important thing is to understand things in a funny way!
Enjoy them all and have a wonderful week!
Love,
Daniela A. Ayala Molinari.

English Songs and Games To Learn the Numbers

Hi there!, it's been ages since my last post and It can't be possible! ;-), so today I've decided to share some interesting and fun songs as well as games to be done with our kids.
It's important that the concepts and vocabulary we're studying in the class, would be reinforced at home too. Would you like to watch these videos with your children?


As you can see, there are many ways to motivate our students and kids to learn a different language, and I believe music and games are a great resource to do so.
Let's enjoy English then!!!
See you in a next post and subscribe to my websites, please, :-D.
Hugs and Kisses,
Teacher Daniela A. Ayala Molinari.

Hello everybody! 

Today I'd like to share with you all a list of different videos that are interesting to be used when teaching Autumn to our students.

Songs and movement will create a different atmosphere in our lessons, so our students will be involved on it in a more natural way.

I'm sure they will all have fun with them!
Lots of kisses,
teacher Daniela Ayala.

Time for a song! Lukas Graham 7 years

Hello dear friends!
My students love this song! In fact I may say this one creates special emotional feelings in my English lessons.
It's great doing this task with them and see how well they behave in the activity. Sometimes teachers get magic with the tasks done in a class, don't you agree?

It has been a day to be remembered in my life!;-D so thank you so much to all my students for following my lessons with beautiful smiles and good disposal.

Enjoy this song, your song, my song ...
Kisses and hugs,
Teacher Daniela A. Ayala M.
