Greetings 1 + 1,2,3 All images from Clipart-library.com Written By Selma Dancy 1. Movement circle. Introduce vocabulary with mime and movement with children repeating after the teacher. Use high / low / silly / quiet etc voice. Pretend to be animals, do exercises while counting. Try not to use English. Discuss what language we are speaking and what country it is from. Look at pictures of China and famous places.Look at and discuss pinyin and characters on the vocabulary slides. Introduce vocabulary using snowball technique: Introduce each vocabulary slide with children repeating the word after the teacher. Review all the words on the summary slide (slide 7). Next use the slides without the Chinese words (9-13) or (prefered) print off and laminate the slides without words. Tell children you will say two words - one correct and one incorrect. They must wait for both words. Show a random slide and say one correct and one incorrect new vocabulary. Children repeat the correct vocabulary. Continue with all words. Show the du / b du slide (Number 8). Tell students you will say one word and every student shows thumbs up if they think the word is correct and say du or thumbs down and say b du . Repeat with all words. Lastly just show random slides and children call out correct vocabulary. Thanks to Raewyn Ho for introducing me to this technique. Hello Song 1 (slide 15). This song is to be sung to the tune of the French song Fr re Jacques . Print characters and numbers (slide 14). Match them to numbers (slides 11,12,13) on the whiteboard with blue tack. Game - Number Hunt. Laminate and cut out many small characters for 1,2,3 (slide 16). Place a very small amount of blue tack behind them and place them all over the room. The teacher calls out in mandarin the number of the character to be collected. children bring them to the whiteboard. This could be a competition for groups. They must only get the number called. 2. 1. 2. 3.
