The parts of the house in English

In today's blog we'll talk about how to teach the parts of the house in English and how we see it in Great Little People.

Spatio-temporal orientation in the classroom

Space-time orientation is fundamental in these ages. Achieving a correct organization in this regard will result in an environment in which boys and girls can develop freely, participating individually and collectively in activities and routines. In relation to the language, it is important that they know how to name the parts of the school and the house as well as the elements of which they are usually composed. This will help us to improve their spatial layout as well as to expand vocabulary and improve their understanding. At Great Little People, we attach great importance to spatial organization. This is mainly worked on in our Active Corner.Activities to work the parts of the house in EnglishNext, we are going to show you a series of activities to work the parts of the house in English depending on each stage.

At this stage, boys and girls come into contact with parts of the house for the first time. At first in a global way, identifying each instance, and then adding the elements of each one. At first we can show you the flashcards with the image of each part. With this we can make games, searching for each one, sorting them, etc. We can also show them laminated images of the house in London. One of our worksheets consists of placing each member of the family in a part of the house. In this way, they can also associate each one with their own room.

As they get older, we start looking for certain objects. A clear example is the worksheet that you can see below. In it they have to find the sponge and the towel and stick a gomet to it.

At this time, children already have greater precision in their fine motor skills and their level of understanding is wider, so we can enter written words. This way, they will be able to associate each place with how it is written. Their names are written on the flashcards themselves. They can also identify the places in the house where the characters in the stories are located and make classifications of where we keep each object in the house.

At this time boys and girls are able to express themselves through drawing and begin to write more things. This is the ideal time to create drawings of their houses. We can also make a large dollhouse with shoe boxes and other recycled items such as rolls of toilet paper, matchboxes, small pieces of cloth, etc.
