What do you recommend to teach to a 5 year old girl? I don;t need online games, maybe some handouts and ideas for games/ activities? Do zou think that 1 hour is too much-_----__

Use stories, songs (nursery rhymes), movement, senses, lots of pictures/flashcards and word games (what �s missing, memory, yes/no...) and do role play. It all has to feel like a game. Don �t use the school approach of children sitting in benches and teacher behind their own desks - sit on the carpet with the child and talk. Use interesting voices, lots of music.... Small kids are difficult but wonderful to teach and the feedback is instant - you �ll know immediately if the child is bored or interested and they learn fast and are grateful for anything interesting... They �re not ashamed or wrong pronunciation and their hearing is usually perfect... Plus, they �re honest and joyous. teaching them is food for the soul. |

i am a teacher in a kindergarten.have been working for 5 months and these are the things i have learned so far: they love painting and singing songs! in my opinion,1 hour tutoring is enough because they cant focus on things for a long time and they get bored easily. You are lucky because children of 5 and 6 years old are easy to train.They love learning! they are very eager for doing different activities.these are some sites i visit often: http://www.activityvillage.com and http://www.tlsbooks.com there are many inspiring ideas and activities there

Dear Mirela, it always depends on the child and the activities you prepare. I �ve been working with groups of children that old and if the lesson is creative and fun enough 45 minutes is no problem for them, even an hour. 4-year-olds have a shorter concentration span. However, if you don �t change activities enough (3-5 different types of activities with a different approach to a topic) it gets dull for them and they lose interest. But I guess it �s different with every child and teaching such a small kid one-to-one is quite different from working with a group. |

I agree with anitarobi if your lesson is fun and interesting then an hour is possible. You can use some puzzles too. Here are some how-to videos for games that would work with that age range. Picture this:
