Nice work yesterday, ladies. I have a lot of confidence in your teaching abilities. Here are some activities for your teacher's toolbox:

Name game tag (name + gesture)...L/S, kinesthetic...recall

Actions/Total physcial response (TPR)...speaking, kinesthetic...beginning/end of lesson

Match number to words (Spanish)...L/S...possibly kinesthetic

flashcard introduction...R/L/S...warm-up, I remember, we have finished

ball toss...S/L, kinesthetic...my turn, I listen/I read

total immersion (talking)...L

Vocabulary knock (knock when you hear a vocabulary word)...L...kinesthetic

Put vocabulary in order as you hear it...L/R, kinesthetic

Fill in the gap (cloze exercise) as student listen or read...L/R

Word count...L

Picture pairs...R

body parts...matching word to body...L/S/R

Erase dialogue with sucessive readings...L/S/R

Simon says...L, kinesthetic

After our tour on Friday, we'll discuss your 45 minute lesson.
