Sample Lesson plan for 2-4 year olds

[Matt Dream]

30 Minute English Lesson for Beginner 2-4 year olds.

1. Warm up- get the students comfortable by doing simple actions with them. Say and do the following, don’t worry if your students don’t follow you right away: clap your hands, jump, spin around, sit down, stand up. Also, I usually start out the lesson saying Hello and waving my arms.

2. Numbers- Practice counting objects from 1-10, or using flash cards. If the students are comfortable with numbers, play a simple touch game. Call out the number and ask the students to touch.

3. Song- Let’s Count 1 to 10, a free Dream English download.

4. Alphabet-Using flash cards introduce the alphabet from A to Z. You may want to introduce phonics at this point, or just the alphabet letters. Next, have the students stand up and make the shapes of ABC with their body.

5. Song-ABC Song, another free Dream English download.

6. Colors- introduce the colors using flashcards, objects, or items around the room. Try to have the students repeat after you.

7. Song-Color Song, yes another Dream English free download

8. Coloring- this is optional, but you can use crayons to have the students repeat the names of the colors again. Then have them color something simple. MES English has many free coloring sheets.

9. Read a book- Any book for kids is great. I recommend asking the students questions when reading. “What do you see on the page? flowers, that’s right. What color are they? how many?”

10. Goodbye Song- I use the Dream English Goodbye song, though you can use anything you like. I just make sure to say thank you to the kids when we are finished, and ask them to repeat.

Please share with us any ideas you have for working with this age group.

An easy game most children like.
Introduce colors(blue,red ,green,orange....)
Get a ball made out of old newspapers and throw it to a child who has to say a color and then he/she throws it to another one who has to call out another color and so on.

hello!
I just made cards of colors, and show them one by one and they tell me the name, then I pick animals and ask what colour do they have. I also have a magical box, from where I get the colours and the animals, at first I carried a huge pack with all these to school, but fortunately, it didn´t last, now I take only what I´m going to use for that lesson.
We also count from 1 to 10 in a very loud voice, almost shouting (they like to shout)and also use the 1 to 10 song, like a rocket, it works with younger children, the others can´t stay in the row or line, go jumping everywhere, so, I let them jump but put the song even louder, it is a mess, but I know that they are getting familiarized with it. Then, more quiet, I sing it, not with the music, but only the words. I think the´ll remember the numbers forever.
