I've started working on family vocabulary with my youngest students who are responding very nicely to classroom routine songs and actions.
KEY VOCABULARY: mommy, daddy, baby (extension for older students - sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather)
In addition, I've used personal family photos to reinforce and "test" comprehension.
The following songs accompanied by appropriate actions have worked really well to introduce children to the key vocabulary.
The Finger Family
Rain Rain Go Away
The Wheels On The Bus
Until next time!
