Finger puppets as a tool to teach English for very young kids

Finger puppets to help you teach English for very youg kids

My kids simple love it and, like me, you can make it yourself without any extreme creativity. Just google it at the internet and you can find many different models you can copy.
What will you need: Time to try and throw away what is inappropriate and courage to continue trying. Don't give up!

Seriously speaking, what will you need: hot glue gun, scissors, fabric glue, instant glue, extra materials (plastic eyes, plastic mouths, nose, if you wish to give it professional appearance, if not, you can use your own creativity to creat)
What will you need: Felt (or fabric) of different colors for the body, paws, ears, belly... etc
What will you need: Felt (or fabric) of different colors for the body, paws, ears, belly... etc








If you want to leave stitches showing, you will need a needle and some sewing lines.
You will also need paint or markers to paint on the eyes or extra features of finger puppets. But you can buy eyes and just glue them.


The result: Felt Animal finger puppets - left to right, top to down: bird, lady bug, cow, mouse, tiger, chicken, lion.

What can you teach using finger puppets?
Basically, whatever you have in mind!
- Music: Save your face. Kids imagine animals are singing, not you! So, some silly musics for kids can be presented easily this way ;-)
- Numbers: use the puppets to change your voice and pretend you are the animal speaking while you say the numbers and kids repeat. You can also ask students to count the number of animals you show them;
- Greetings and Farewells: use the animal to mime a pair greeting themselves while you say them and kids repeat. They can also mime the voice of animals;
- Days of the week: pretend the animals are saying them and make kids repeat. You can also add easy sentences so that kids can learn easily: I like Monday, I like Tuesday, My favorite is Sunday, My favorite is Friday etc...
- Months of the year: Proceed like you did with week days;
- Likes and dislikes:  Teach kids "I like" and "I don't like" and the name of animals;
- Grammar: singular and plural (one cat, two cats; one frog, two frogs); grammar in context of stories;
- Vocabulary: colors of the animals presented; 
- Vocabulary: name of the animals (or other names) presented;



Parrot, octopus, cat, elephant, hippo
Spider



Bird, bee, mouse
Frog
Butterfly

 Alligator / crocodile ; duck, chicken, hippo, cat.


  • Those presented above are just ideas I had while working with animal finger puppets. I am doing like this and it is working with my students. Maybe with yours it works too :-)
  •  
  • Final tip:  Kids will want to handle the puppets.
  •  If you don't allow, it will function as flashcards do and probably kids will lose the interest for the activity as they lose for flashcards as well. So, if this is your intention, better use flashcards, that are much easier to make and cheaper to buy.
  • If you decided to let kids handle puppets, be prepared! They will destroy in minutes your cute finger puppets that took you hours of preparation. But certainly soon after being highly motivated... So, it pays the effort.

    THE PRAYER THAT SHOCKED THE WORLD

    When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:
    "Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance.
    We know Your Word says, "Woe to those who call evil good", but that is exactly what we have done.  We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.

    v  We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

    v  We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.

    v  We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

    v  We have shot anti-abortionists and called it justifiable.

    v  We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.

    v  We have abused power and called it politics.

    v  We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.

    v  We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it
    freedom of expression.

    v  We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it
    enlightenment.

    ü  Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleans us from every sin
    and  set us free.  Amen!"

    The response was immediate.  A number of legislators walked out during the
    prayer in protest.

    In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor,
    logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively.

    The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer
    from India , Africa and Korea .

    Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, "The Rest
    of the Story," and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.

    With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and
    whole-heartedly become our desire so that we again can be called: "one
    nation under God."
    
    DOES THIS PRAYER  SHOCK YOU?
