How do I teach large class sizes of young children?
With large groups, you may want to invite one group to do a TPR activity while the others watch. Be sure that children who are watching are involved by clapping, or saying “yes.” Children should not be waiting for their turns! For example, if you are acting out weather words, some children can pretend to use umbrellas, others can pretend to be splashing in puddles and still others can make rainstorm sounds and actions. If possible, divide children into small groups to play games, and into pairs to practice conversations.
