On Friday, June 2, 2017, from 5:00pm to 5:45pm, I met with my child tutee at his house.  Today we played lots of TPR style games.  I wanted to get all the kids involved and let them have fun as they practiced their listening skills.  First, we did Simon Says.  I focused on using different numbers and simple verbs, so they could easily identify the actions.  We tried to do charades, but it was not as successful as Simon Says.  Either way, the kids had fun taking turns and guessing the actions called out.  I think this was a successful way for them to practice listening in English.  We practiced basic addition problems and numbers.  This seemed useful because they did not know basic math very well.  Then, we practiced identifying colors around the room.  Colors are another difficult area for our tutees.  The kids seemed to do better identifying colors with each repetition, so this seemed like a good activity for us.  Overall, this fun session was useful in identifying areas to practice more next week.
