\ The 3rd, 4th and 5th meetings /

 The 3rd, 4th and 5th meetings**

Through the 3rd, 4th and 5th meetings, we learned what is important to teach for children.

First of all, we must introduce the verbs to children.  Children doesn't have enough  English vocabulary.  So we must show some English words in first!  And then we have to have verb-related activities.  "TEACHING and TESTING and ACTIVITY" is great important, so we must keep this cycle in our mind.  With this cycle, children touch various English words many times, so they can expand their vocabulary.
In addition, we must not forget "SIMPLE and OVER ACTIONS with KEEPING TENSION!"  That seems simple, but it's surprisingly difficult...  We are adult, so we can't forget to have shyness in public. If we can't do that, we can't show "SIMPLE and OVER ACTIONS with KEEPING TENSION!" in front of children much more.  But children are tired when they repeat the same and negative actions.  They love moving so much!  So we must introduce different style in activities, and work that with ENJOYMENT. If we teachers work activity with enjoyment, children can enjoy do that!  So we must not forget to keep ENJOYMENT in our mind!
In last, I introduce some useful verb-related activities!

*Gesture Game
After introducing the verbs to the students, cut up the cards and out them in a box.  have  one student come to the front of class and take a card.  The student then should act out the verb using gesture.  the students sitting down then must say what verb the student is mimicking.

*Timed Race
 All the cards are out in a pile on the floor.  The students must go and pick up a card, go to the teacher and say the target expression(e.g. I can dance).  If the student picked up by the students and passed on to the teacher, the teacher stops the timer.  The time is announced.  Students then try again to beat their time.
