After analysing a web with tips (learner advisor) with the help of my friends, we came up with the idea of helping young students in the following way:
AGE: 6-8 years
LEVEL: Elementary
AIM: to learn and process vocabulary through visuals in a funny and entertaining way. The main objective is to create as many connections as possible between the word and the concept itself.
PROCEDURE: The activity is meant to be done throughout the whole course.
At the beginning of the course the teacher tells the students to paint/draw every word they have understood and memorized in a flashcard. For example, if they are learning animals they have to draw and color the animals they have worked on. Periodically, the teacher may ask one of the students to show their "lion flashcard" so that the student associates the meaning with the picture.
ACTIVITY: The teacher introduces the new vocabulary which for example appears in a song: swim, fly, run, climb, jump, etc. The teacher asks the students to create their new flashcard (See procedure). The teacher asks the students to relate the new vocabulary with the one previously learned (categorization).
Ex: classify the animals according with the action they usually perform.
Animals: lion, dolphin, monkey, parrot, kangaroo, dog, cat, etc.
Verbs: swim, fly, run, climb, jump, etc.
In this way, the vocabulary is constantly used during the course.
