Don’t get discouraged that they can’t read or write and sometimes barely speak! There is plenty of time to work on that boring stuff when they get older. 2s and 3s are able to do a lot in class, and the cool thing is, you’ll see huge improvements each time you see them. Understanding what they are able to do (and not do) is the first step in knowin...
One of the hardest things to get used to as first-time teacher of toddlers is the concept of “not teaching”. At this age, kids learn though exploring the world around them and imitating people, and all of this is usually done through play. As such, the teacher should see him/herself as more of a playmate than a teacher. Sit with your students and e...
Toddlers have a short attention span and lose interest in activities very quickly. It’s not that your lesson activity is boring, it’s just that there are so many other fun and interesting things in their immediate environment that demand their attention! Basically, you are competing with everything else in the world for their attention, so changing...
I always teach both toddler and one of their parents together in the class (usually mother but it can sometimes even be a grandparent!). Your students won’t suffer from separation anxiety and it will make your life as the teacher a whole lot easier. The parent will help with bad behavior and keep their child focused on the activities. Have the pare...
Using a fun glove puppet each class (I use Cookie Monster) makes a huge difference in your toddler lessons. Shy students will open up more to a puppet and kids often get overwhelmed with excitement at the beginning of class to see their favorite puppet! They will think it is real (students sometimes ask me questions about the puppet’s daily routine...
Try not to introduce more than three new words in one lesson. They will have a hard time remembering them. Some teachers feel that they are not really teaching their students much, if all that they have covered is three new words, but you’ll be surprised at how much more the kids are taking in. Every time you talk (your classroom metalanguage) they...
Kids love singing good songs and doing all the gestures and dance moves. They are sponges for learning songs – many a time we revisit a song and I am having to watch my students for the words because I have forgotten some of them! Songs can be used to introduce or reinforce new words (e.g. Let’s go to the zoo for animals), to start or end a section...
Students really learn well when their attention is engaged visually. Make sure you have lots of flashcards (we have over 1,500 at ESL KidStuff), pictures from magazines, posters on the walls, and lots of toys and real objects (realia). Always pass objects around and play simple games, such as catch, as touching and interacting with the objects real...
Toddlers can’t read or write, but they are master game players! Games can be really simple and shouldn’t be too competitive – make sure that everyone is a winner. Here are just a few ideas for simple and fun games: 1. Patting balloons to each other, or kicking the correct balloon (“kick the blue balloon”) 2. Jumping over a rope laid on the ground t...
Positive reinforcement is so important at this age. It doesn’t matter if a student got something wrong, the fact that they tried deserves a round of applause. If the kids enjoy their class, they will return next week because they want to be there … and a side effect is that they will learn English! When praising, use a variety of phrases (well done...
