What Color Paint On Brazillian Cherry Wood Floor

livello 1 - two little dickey birds

This song is a simple and easy to learn but you have to modify it to make it fit. Children dovaranno sing in pairs (one is Peter Paul and the other does). They must pretend to sit on the wall, fly away and then come back on the wall.

You can hear the tune on YouTube by typing " Two Little Dickey Birds" but you have to change the text to useful words like yellow, go away (go / go away), as here ( come / come here)

two little yellow birds sitting on a wall one
Called Peter, The Other Called Peter Paul
fly away, go away Paul
come back Peter, come here Paul

L’aggettivo yellow in questa canzoncina può essere sostituito da sleepy (assonnati), happy, funny (buffi), silly (sciocchi), sad (tristi), hungry (affamati), oppure angry (arrabbiati), mimando i diversi stati d’animo degli uccellini.

How Much Is Weymouth Club Membership

livello 1 - he/she wants

obbiettivo: distinguere fra he e she . Esercitarsi con i verbi to want (volere) e to need (aver bisogno)

Per questo game takes two dolls (male and female), a die, drawing on scraps of what must be a Baby, food, plastic bottles and potty dolls (or bowl).
on the numbered slips of paper you draw or write what they would want to Baby: drink, eat, play, go to the bathroom etc.. Alternating between male and female dolls, children will have to roll the dice, say the number out (in English), and take the package that matches the number on the dice. After that will tell us what baby needs and satisfy their needs. For example:

- She wants water / she's thirsty (she thirsty)
- He wants to play (he wants to play )
- He wants a kiss (he wants a kiss)
- ; She wants to eat / she's hungry (she wants to eat / hungry)
- He needs to go to the toilet (he must go to the bathroom)
- She wants to sleep (she wants to sleep)


is important to revise together all the expressions that will be used before you start playing. When the child opens the package, all others will participate, saying " what does he / she Want?" (What do you want?). This will not simply be spectators and will also help the child to respond if it requires saying I need help!

Silvia, will you put one green and three blue squares?
Alessandra, please put one black rectangle first and then   two gray squares
