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,

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.

I'm sure they will all have fun with them!

Our High School Day!! : Singing and enjoying !! English activity in IES. Gabriel Alonso de Herrera

Hi there!!!
Last 28th March we really had an incredible Day in our High School!!

Dear friends!! Once I saw a beautiful poster in my class with this nice song I couldn't resist myself to sing it with the kids. Also, this is one of my favorite songs so you can imagine how motivated I'm feeling with the song :D.

The lyrics is this one, but it is also added in the video taken from youtube:

Red and Yellow and Pink and Green

Purple and Orange and Blue,

Listen with  your eyes,

14th of February!: Happy Valentine's Day! :)

Today, many people will be wearing red clothes, or maybe some of them will be feeling better than yesterday, because they're in love, and because they're happy :D

Valentine's Day is celebrated all around the world. For many people it's just a normal day and for others it's the most romantic day of the year...

For me it's something which is in the middle of both things... it's not a normal day but it's not the most romantic day... :)

I mean,everyday is important when you're in love of someone. So you have to demonstrate your love and take care of it every day...

Today it's a good day to say "I LOVE YOU" to all the people you love: friends, family...
So, prepare something special and say it with a big smile :).

Happy Valentine's Day!!
Love,
Daniela A. Ayala Molinari.

My favourite Valentine's songs for kids

Time for a Song--> Rihanna: Diamonds

Una de las cosas que más les gusta a nuestros chicos es escuchar y cantar las canciones que más les gustan y si están de moda mejor :).
Hoy hemos trabajado en clase de Inglés esta bonita canción, la cuál iremos cantando juntos a lo largo de la semana.
Los chicos disponen de una ficha con la letra para ir completando los huecos.
¡Lo hemos pasado estupendo hoy!
Besitos,
Daniela.

We wish you a Merry Christmas

Jingle bells :)
