Question

Hello! Next Tuesday I am teaching a class for the first time! (I am still a student) This class is going to be graded.So, the class lasts for 45 minutes.My topic is breakfast.I am teaching young learners of english as a foreign language ( first graders - 7 year olds:)) So what I need are some ideas. I don't know yet which vocabulary is in their books. I'll get the book on Saturday.But as I said I need some ideas. How to start?(I thaught by repeating the song they have learned today)How can I introduce their topic?And most importantly how do I teach them new words?Would it be good to show them picture cards and then say a word f.e.milk and then let them repeat..Any more ideas?Fun ideas?Anything is welcome!So one more time my topic is breakfast.

Here are several websites from which you should be able to get ideas. You'll need to keep the children's ages in mind as you choose and/or adapt. Check out ALL the links in each site; you never know where a good idea will come from!
