Teaching new material. Part 4 of 6 of my teaching English workshop.

* Teach Song ( http://genkienglish.net/songs.htm ) then Game ( http://genkienglish.net/games.htm) to practice the target language
* Go straight to using a song without any drilling of language. Saves a lot of time.
*Always include actions, cute pictures, melody, as many senses as possible to maximize chances of remembering each word.
* Teach what kids want to be able to say, not what you want to teach.
* Keep the happy, funky, cool stuff for the end. End on a high note.
* Teach one question + around 8 answers per lesson.
* If 8 is too much, split it in two and do a mini game in between, like we did with the "I like everything game" (http://genkienglish.net/Ilikeeverything .htm )
* A game for a game's sake is no good. Every game is there to practise the English in a fun way.
* Be as genki as you can when teaching the song, then get the kids doing the game as quickly as possible so you can get on with preparing the next stuff.
