Classroom objects flashcards (use these to play card games)

În acest capitol copiii vor învăța:

• favourite toys (doll, computer, car, ball, train and bike)
• colours (black, brown, white, grey)
• prepositions describing location (in, on, under and next to)

Vor practica:

• saying what colour their toys are
• using prepositions to talk about location

Poți repeta cu cel mic acasă în diferite moduri:

• Point at their toys and ask them to name them, e.g. “What is this?” “It’s a train.” Don’t forget to point or touch the object. Ask them follow-up questions to review colours and numbers, e.g. “How many trains are there?” “Two.”, “What colour is the train?” “It’s yellow.” 
• Point at one of their toys and ask them questions, e.g. “Is your ball yellow?” “No, it isn’t.”, “Is your ball orange?” “Yes, it is.” If they can’t answer, let them nod or shake their head instead – the important aim is to give them practice in recognising the sounds of words and connecting them to their meaning. 
• Hide their toys in their bedroom and ask them to find each of them. Each time they find a toy, ask them questions, e.g. “Where is the doll?” “It’s under the bed”. You can do this activity with classroom objects from Unit 2 if you want to review them. 
• Show them pictures of objects and ask them to describe them, e.g. “What's this?” “It’s a car.”, “What colour is the car?” “It’s red and black.” 
• Draw a pink doll and get them to draw one too by telling them e.g. “I've got a pink doll.” After, compare your picture with your child's.
