What’s Your Favorite Sport?
As Tingo and Niki host a TV show focused on sports, children learn related words such as “soccer” and “karate.” Young learners practice expressing what is and what is not their favorite sport, such as “Baseball is not my favorite sport.” and “My favorite sport is basketball.” The phrase “I don’t know” and the verb “to like” are reviewed, while the letter “U” and the number “19″ are introduced. Includes Zoe presenting “near” and “far.”

I’m just starting out as a teacher having just finished uni. I’m going to be relief / substitute teaching for the rest of the year (I’m hoping to work full time starting in January) and I think I really should have some games and activities in my bag of tricks in case I get in a jam. I know some classroom teachers can leave really good notes for subs, but others can leave you with a lot of extra time to fill.
I’ll be teaching up to grade 6.
Do you have any suggestions for games and activities for these year levels?
I’m…

I am teaching literacy in an enrichment camp and I am a new teacher. This is my first time actually teaching many of my lessons so I am sure that the timing may be off a bit on some of them. If my lesson ends early, what are some educational games I can play with the class?
Also if you know any sites with loads of educational ideas, lesson plans, etc. please post!

I run a literacy program for kids, grades 2-6. Tomorrow’s our end-of-year party and I was looking for some suggestions for games for them to play. Scattegories is my number one bet so far…with the kids split off into older and younger groups.
