DAILY ROUTINES: In the afternoon_TheFarmAnimals

Our son really likes animals, so we consider we can take advantage of it in order the baby could learn some sounds, expressions and words of it in a funny way.

We will start the plan with the closer animals, those which we have in gandpas´farm:  Cows, Chickens, dogs, Cats...Of family animals.

There are many interesting songs and didactic ressources to work animal topic in the market or free on the internet; so it is very easy to design a daily plan to get the baby closer the farm animals and their sounds.

Here we concrete our plan of action. 

Parte 1. Farm animals´ Dice.

We introduce the animal topic with this didactic Dice. We´ll introduce each animal and we will try to repeat the animal sound.

• We work some simple words: cow, duck, horse, pig, sheep, dog, chicken
• We will develop expression such as:
• This is a/an...
• The animal´s sound is...

Parte 2. Reading, touching and repeating.

We read the book "the sounds of the farm" (Combel)

• We will try to repeat the animals´sounds.
• We will do a storytelling about the animals´farm.
• We will build our vocabulary (same as we have described before).

Part 3. Show and sing. 

In this activity we sing one very simple song called "The animals of the farm" and we show the toy animal from our Lilitutiens Farm.

This is the moment we have had learnt the song we are going to sing all together aloud with our toy farm.

• The song you can listen here:

We will work  the expression "the animals on the farm say...."

• The toy farm to show and touch the animals we have bought from Liliputiens brand.

DAILY ROUTINE: In the afternoon_Family

Today we have received some books to read to our son in summer time. 
These first english books we have ordered are related to family, friends and daily routines such as bath, bedtime or time at school. They are very easy to understand for parent and very dicactic due to the expressions we will try our son learn little by little.
If your son likes books this activity could be easy and very enriched for him.

Descripcion of the activity:

Part one. We are going to work with our family pet, Peppa Pig and with the little library we have purchaised. 

So the activity must start asking Peppa the polite question about herself (seen before)

Hi Peppa......how are you?...how do you  do?

And after the introduction, it is the perfect moment to read our first little book Peppa´s favorite things. We are going to read the book (several times) slowly and showing things Peppa Likes. If you don´t know how to read it to your baby, you can find a nice tutorial in Youtube to practice first.



After reading the book we can work expressions such as...

...what do you like?, I like....

Part two. We will keep going working wirth our Peppa Pig´s little library second book Peppa´s family in this way

Due to the topic we have set up for these two months is the family, we will reinforce everyday the idea of family and the 6 key words and expressions to talk about it. 

Here in our little library we have the perfect ressource to do it, Peppa´s Family. A very easy tale to learn words as father, mother...to build a basic vocabulary little by little.

The cover of our second little book is this:

I haven´t foud the audio book in youtube, but maybe you could find interesting this video or the Family fingers´one we introduced in an old post.
