Story Book Sharing – The Train is on the move!

Today, I picked a story book to share with the children. This is a book in Mandarin but I tried my best to translate the sentences into English. The name of the book is directly translated –“The Train is On the Move!”

This is a story about a boy called Tom. He lives in a dull and grey city. He always wishes that there’s some wonderful and exciting things would happen. One morning, Tom was looking at his round biscuits and reminded him about a train. Therefore, he took his train to school. During the art class, he was playing with his train and then unconsciously, he fell into a dream.

In his dream, he was in his train going through some green crocodiles’ bridge and then he came to a garden of red flower. After that, the train passed by a golden beach. Down in the blue sea he went and he saw many blue fishes. Later, he came to a white snowy place with snow man and the train went through a tunnel. In the tunnel, there’s a lot of black monster. Suddenly, Tom dropped off the train and his classmates tried to wake him up. He quickly drew all the things his sees inside his dream. There were such colourful pictures.

Game – Red, Blue, Green

The children had played this game before. Only this time, I added some other details for the children to practice to say the names of colours. The rules this time is that the children need to listen to the calling of the colour of yellow. Once they heard their classmates touched their head and said “yellow”, the child had to stand up and chase after the person who touched his/her head.

It took the children a while to get used to say out the words of colours. But I believe with a few practise, they could do it better.

We are moving in to yellow colour. Hopefully the children could actually bring something or share something they have in yellow.
