So how does it work? One partner does the speaking while the second does the listening. The second has a little car (one of the cars included with the resource or a real toy car) which they have to brmm to the parking space that their partner tells them. The above image shows how it would work with Spanish numbers from 1 to 10. Partner 1 says "cuatro" and partner 2 brmms their car to parking space number 4.
So far I have made versions for Spanish numbers 1 to 10, Spanish numbers 11 to 20 and Spanish colours. I think it could also be used to build up sentences, with each of the parking spaces having one element of the sentence in it. It could be used with one little car, going to one parking space at a time, or an element of competition could be introduced with the numbered cars, each partner having five cars each.
I will be uploading these resources and similar ones in French to Light Bulb Languages very soon. Keep an eye on the LBL Blog to find out when they are there.
UPDATE: Links to the resources are here
Great information thanks
ReplyDeleteI love this. I'm going to try it with a year 4 class of very weak boys. They will love it especially if I use real toy cars! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI think all your ideas are GREAT! You really understand about teaching languages in a way that is memorable and fun for the children and requires lots of repetition and participation from all children, whilst ensuring there is scaffolding where needed. THANK YOU!
