My experience teaching to children.

Hello my dear Classmates I want to share my experience teaching English to little children and teenagers.                                                     
Little kids (ages five to six) love puppets. Let me introduce you Mr Wolf, he is our pet in class, kids always wait for him. I've been used him for greetings and for asking kids' personal information. 

This is the first time I teach English to little children and, this have been a very challenging experience. 
When I accepted the job  the first thing I did was asking for recommendations or advice to a friend of mine that teaches English to little kids, unfortunately she was too busy and we couldn't meet so the only option I had was surfing the internet and looking for materials and information about teaching English to young learners.

A good website I found and I use a lot is http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/  you can find a lot of stories, songs, and games. If you sing up you can have access to the materials, flash cards, audios etc. This is an excellent website because their materials and resources are divided by age, skills, and English levels I recommend you it.
Although this web site has been a great tool my salvation was the course Teaching English to children. I have attended just four classes and I have learned a lot of useful tips and activities and I really enjoy my class with little kids (ages 5 to 6).

But the biggest challenge I have is to teach English to very little kids (ages two to three). This has been the most difficult experience teaching. With them I used songs and the puppets but their attention span is so short and if they are not crying they are hitting their classmates and sometimes I just feel that everything is a mess. 
If you have a similar situation with very little kids this website can help you http://www.dreamenglish.com/2and3yearolds
