Jack is DREADFUL! 🎃

Jack is DREADFUL! 🎃 If I didn’t like Halloween so much, I would DEFINITELY hate him - here’s why! Terrible Jack loves to eat my notes and flashcards! Can you imagine that?! Now, stand back and imagine how your child feels when a teacher swoops in and presents a problematic situation where ONLY your child can help the teacher save the flashcards - probably priceless. One student was so engaged this week he helped me save 24 flashcards. 24! And when he missed 3 words and Jack ate them AGAIN, he asked to try to save them and didn’t quit until he saw that the Jack’o’lantern is fully empty. ✨ Here is how dramatized vocabulary review motivates your child: 🎃 The review is dramatized and they don’t feel pressure to answer correctly. 🎃 They feel personally related to the story and want to be the ones to help the teacher - she needs the flashcards for the younger students and the younger students cannot help. This point of view shows the child that the teacher considers them an equal and someone who is not a ‘’baby’’ as some of my students love to say. 🎃 They act and change voices while talking to my Jack, practicing different types of dramatized intonation and they naturally add accents to the words they want to highlight. 🎃 Jack doesn’t let the teacher to pull out a card easily - we have to pull it and struggle a bit - which is, of course, FUNNY. 😂 Jack subconsciously reminds them of a child who’s not listening and they are being the adults in the situation. 🎃 They don’t even understand that it’s a vocabulary check and they often perform much better than if I would just give them a practice game. Do you have a child that gets bored as soon as they feel it’s review time? If yes, SEND THEM TO ME. I promise they won’t even know the content has been reviewed! 😂 #englishforkids #englishforchildren #speakingpractice #onlineenglish #onlineenglishforkids #halloween #halloweenforkids
