As the 1-4 grade Mandarin classes wrapped up their mini plays, we have entered the last few weeks of the semester. It means review and reflection. It also means summarizing our past learnings in a more structured manner.
While we were reviewing parts of our body and the concepts of "left" and "right", we did a game on reaction to commands to check for understanding. Then an idea just came to the class that we could use those commands to create fun dances with melodies that the students choose or create. It generated lots of enthusiasm which is a precious thing to preserve in the process of learning.
