Classroom Objects

In many schools the first content unit for teaching is the inviroment in which children are involved. It is very important for children to know how to name the things that they use every day. School objects can be taught at any level of education, also in many different ways. Here, I am going to give you an example for carrying out a class about school objects for little children.
First of all, we have to be pretty sure about which are the most important objects to teach in the class. As they are little kids, usually can not retain too much information at once. So, choose few things and get some flashcards of them. . .Then choose a useful worksheet and let's do a wonderful class.

Start the class with the flashcards. Remember that kids have better comprehension by watching colourful images. Use an oral drill for each picture and make the children repeat, until they had learnt how to produce the new vocabulary. You can also incorporate some pronunciation tips. Little kids are amazing learning pronunciation.
When you finish with this part of the lesson, you can start with the activity. A worksheet is always useful and you can either create your own or download one from the internet; the important thing is that you have to be aware of the content, its exploitability and suitability. It is good to implement longer activities rather than short ones which last 2 minutes and leave you a mess inside the classroom. Time consuming activities allow you to avoid behaviour problems by getting the students interested in your lesson.
This is an activity that I carried out in a class of second grade (7 years old). In this class not all the children know how to write very well but children were very smart; so, in this worksheet children had to write on the segmented words but with little difficulty where they had to discover the missing letter (children have a meaningful learning by discovering things on their own).
When children had finished of doing this. They followed the next step where they had to match the pictures with their corresponding name. (dots to dots)
By doing this children took longer and I did not have to prepare too many activities for them.
The last part of my class was playing a song related with the topic.

Don not forget to give feedback in order to know if your students got the point of your lesson. Feedback is an exellent tool when we want to know if children acquire the new vocabulary.
