How to practice English with kids if you are not a language teacher
 
Hi everyone,
I �m badly in need of your help. Could you share some ideas on how to practice English with kids if you are not a language teacher, but you have to practice English with them?
 
In the educational system in my country kids from grade 1 to grade 4 have lessons in the morning but they have to stay in school until 4 pm. They use the afternoon to write their homework and do some extra practice. They are usually with an other teacher in the afternoon than in the morning lessons. The afternoon teacher is usually not a language teacher, he/she just takes care of the kids and helps them with their homework. Now, I need to collect ideas and activities concerning how this afternoon teacher can learn with the kids. Help me please, I �m clueless.

If the children are small, your shouldn �t want to overcharge them. They are learning during the morning, they are doing their homework in the afternoon, they should have time to play and be children, not only students. Of course, if you play sometimes a game in English, it wouldn �t be seen as practicing, but attention, don �t force them to practice all the time. They will start to hate the foreign language.
