🎒 A little story from the Total Body English lesson
Imagine that you enter a kindergarten classroom and the children, instead of sitting at desks, are dancing, singing and smiling, showing different parts of their bodies. Ania, a kindergarten teacher, had difficulty teaching them words like elbow Whether shoulder. After the Total Body English training, she tried something different – she added movement, gestures, emotions and play. It took only a few days for the children to start responding with joy to questions like Where is your elbow? – showing her elbows and shouting a response. “It works,” she said later. “And it makes lessons fun – for me and the kids.”
