Objective: To spark curiosity and excitement about the concept of enrichment in English through interactive storytelling and playful activities.
Materials Needed:
Step 1: Storytime Surprise!
Gather the Children: Invite the children to sit in a circle on the carpet. Ensure everyone can see you well.
Introduce the Story: Hold up the chosen storybook and say, “Today, we’re going to embark on a wonderful adventure! This story is filled with tasty treats and exciting transformations. Are you ready to hear it?”
Read with Enthusiasm: As you read the story, use different voices for each character, and encourage the children to join in with sound effects or repeated phrases. Pause to ask questions about the story, such as “What color is this fruit?” or “What do you think will happen next?”
Step 2: Exploring Enrichment!
Reveal the Treasure Chest: After the story, introduce the treasure chest filled with flashcards of fruits and animals from the book. “Now, who wants to help me discover these treasures?”
Interactive Activity: Invite children to take turns picking a flashcard from the treasure chest. Upon selecting a card, they should name it aloud and share something fun about it. For instance, if a child picks a card with an apple, they might say, “I love apples! They are red and crunchy!”
Musical Enrichment: Play a cheerful tune in the background while children pass the flashcards around. When the music stops, whoever is holding a card must say their word out loud and create an action related to it (e.g., pretending to eat the fruit or mimicking the animal).
Step 3: Reflect and Connect!
Discussion Time: After the activity, gather everyone back in the circle. Ask questions like, “What was your favorite fruit or animal?” and “Why do you think learning about new things is exciting?”
Wrap Up: Conclude by emphasizing how enrichment means finding new and fun ways to learn, just like we did today with our story and treasures. Encourage them to share what they learned with their families at home.
Through this engaging and interactive introduction, children will feel energized and curious about the topic of enrichment in their English lessons, paving the way for a fun and productive educational experience!
