Augmented Reality Christmas

Using the Quiver app, children have fun and are attracted to see the final result. This application can be used with various levels, preeschool and primary, because the application allows you to download different coloring sheets. 

After dealing with the subject, in this case Christmas, the children will color a sheet with a Christmas picture that, when colored, with the Quiver application that must be previously downloaded to our mobile phone, a photo will be taken. Children can interact with the image because they can see it on the mobile screen. 

With the 3 and 4 year old children we have been learning vocabulary about Christmas such as: Christmas tree, Santa, snow ... elements that they can now name in augmented reality.

I am thankful for...

 On Thanksgiving Day I explained my students about the history of this festivity, the tradition in the USA and how people celebrate it.

With 3rd and 4th grade students you can do the following activity. 

The objective is to practice the structure 'I am thankful for...' and to practice speaking in English. Firstly, ask students what they are thankful for, for which things they should give thanks. Speak a bit in the classroom. Then, ask them to draw a turkey with their hand and write in each of their fingers one of the things they are thankful for. They can also decorate it. Students will enjoy it.

Roll a Jack-o-lantern

Here I share with you a funny game about Halloween that I used with my Infant classroom (3 to 6 years old) to practice the face vocabulary with pumpkins.

A student rolls a dice and comes to the blackboard to draw the part of the face that he or she is asked to. Then, another kid does the same with the next face part and so on until the Jack O'Lantern is completed. They enjoy drawing a lot on the blackboard. I hope you can give it a try.
