Working with children is hard
 
So that I don �t fall into burn out...Help me to design an activity with a ball to review the ABCs
Students are 10 or 11 year old and they are real beginners (and restless)
The class is made up of 28 students
I thought about passing a ball In order to pass it to another student, each student should say the following letter of the alphabet (The first student says "A")

that is a good idea ! i suggest that you can  let them work in pairs two of them stands before the other Ss and they(the 2 Ss u picked) throw the ball to each other saying the alphabet in order ,if one of them  drops the ball or misses a letter or just delays he will be the loser.

u can also throw the ball to one of them(randomly) and tell him a letter he should catch the ball and tell you the following letter .

wish that helps.

Hello Carinita. I have a PPT for learning the ABC...It has the traditional ABC song (by Dora), an ABC chant, an ABC rhyme (by a co worker) and an ABC rap (by Elmo). It also has listening excersises where the student listens to a letter name and has to choose which  letter goes with the name. The rap and song might be a little young for your students but the chant and rhyme would be OK. I haven �t posted it because it is truly huge with all the songs, sounds and activities and there is no way I can come close to trimming it. If it sounds like something you could use, send me your email in a PM and I will mail it to you. Anyone else who feels they could use it, let me know. Ed
