13. Plan, plan, plan!
Read your Teacher’s Edition
before you plan your week. It
will give you an overview of
what materials are needed and
ideas for activities that you
can add to our own.
14. Lesson planning is important, but it is essential
when teaching young learners, since this age group
requires a wide variety of short activities. Children
will get board if activities take too long and
without necessarily meaning to, will start to
disrupt your class.

17. Begin and end clearly
Give a clear signal that the lesson is

begin the lesson with….., or possibly a bell or
a buzzer.
19. Rituals
In many countries, the national anthem is sung at
the beginning or end of national events. In younger
classes, the opening ritual may take the form of the
writing of the date on the board; a song or chant;
chorused exchanges such as ‘How are you today?’ –
‘Fine, thank you!’.
