12 Days Of Christmas

I have this English Classes at the local kindergarten...considering that the kids are about 150...well, to have handouts every week ready for them seems a waste of paper and toner..so I decided to switch to class posters! they're great, children have fun doing them, you hang them on the wall and they're all proud of showing them around...:)
So for Christmas the idea was to have The 12 Days of Christmas poster...but not the traditional one...but Sesame Street Version, which is way funnier for them :)

So here's the thing:
I prepared the posters, with all the twelve days' presents written on and I prepared flashcards to show and then to colour of each present...so on the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me One delicious cookie, a cookie, on the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me 2 baby frogs, 2 frogs...and so on...

Before listening to the song, I had them go throught all the flashcards as a class, reinforcing and repeating each time the names of the objects. at the end I sang the song and then we listened to it!
They were then given flashcards to colour and we then stuck them on the poster, once again repeating each word...while they were colouring the songs was still on and I was singing it out loud ;)

it's great to review numbers and introduce new vocabulary and moreover it's a different song for Christmas instead of the usual ones, Jingle Bells and We wish you a merry Christmas :)
Kids loved showing it to their class teacher and school director :) they also showed it to their parents when they came to collect them at the end of the day and they where so proud :)
