There should be specific daily English learning
objectives for the children. This should be measurable
in some way to ensure that they are understanding and
retaining new language
E.g. Day 1: All children will be able to use the following sentence structures and understand
and use the following vocabulary words" We would need to decide our overall objectives for
children participating in the course. How do we deal with varying language abilities?
Should there also be an element of actual classroom
study or more academic oriented parts of the course
itinerary?
Themes for 6mths-3yrs: colours, textures,
sounds, fast and slow, big and small
Themes for 3-6: All about me, nature,
the weather, animals, colours and
rainbows, food, under the sea.
Themes for 6 & up: The natural world, food, outer
space, the beach and ocean, spies and mysteries,
jobs, pirates, sports, countries of the world,
superheroes.
I feel that slightly older children are an ideal target
audience for the camp style experience. Younger children
may need to be under parental supervision however this
might be nice as it includes an element of family
participation.
A treasurehunt, overnight camping experiences, nature
trails, role plays, talent performances, large scale group
art projects are examples of activities you could
incorporate in to a course for slightly older participants
Could we implement a program
that combines kids activities with
English activities for attending
parents?
At what times in the year would these sessions be run? Are
weekend sessions preferable during term time? Summer/
spring/ winter vacation camps.
How many children would be in attendance? What's the max
number we could accommodate?
