A few weeks ago a friend wrote me after reading the infographic I made with 15 tricks to improve care, commenting that, from their point of view and something he would have added relaxation or mindfulness practice when you get home, or begin classes.

As he told me, It is true that when the kids arrive from school, usually they do very fast, we as adults once they feel intend to do homework, but maybe, before, We should leave a few minutes to relax, down the pace and, then, get to work.

It is important to know that I am not an expert in Mindfulness. This article is a compilation of activities and resources, from my point of view, I think they may find useful.

It is increasingly difficult to capture the attention of our students. I do not know if you happen to you but, sometimes, I have to juggle my students to get involved in my class and I pay attention.

One way to capture the attention of our students is with activities and games. These are often called warmers, or activities to "warm up" the class.

I use them quite, especially in my college classes. But these activities can be used with almost any age and, I assure, that shall come great, not only for "Charmed" to your students, but also to review and work concepts in a fun way.

I wont activities can be used both in your English class, as in a class of Spanish as a foreign language, or even in a language class.

I leave 10 Activities that "you calentéis" your class and you make that your students want unmissable 😉

How to teach English to kids in 2 years old.

Last week I received an email that could not make me more excited. It comes to Ade, a reader and follower of my Youtube channel, that the next course will face a great challenge: teach English to kids in two years in a country with a totally different culture than ours.

In your email, Ade told me that I was not sure how to deal with class, and what resources to use with very young children. Therefore, although today's post is particularly aimed at her, I hope that, all that next year we enfrentéis a similar challenge to help you.

10 lenguaje_vamos activities to stimulate growth

When language development refers, every child is a world. We have already commented on occasion that some children can not compare with others because everyone is different.

In fact I discussed that topic in the post "How it affects the language to the intelligence of children and how to stimulate". Therefore, taking as a starting point what already said at the time, what today are going to give 10 specific activities to stimulate language.
