Introduction
Hooray! Starter is a comprehensive course for teaching
English to 3-year-old children in kindergarten. Its main
aim is to teach learning through play.
Hooray! introduces children to basic listening and
speaking skills in English using simple principles for
young learners:
Jeveloping listening skills is extremely important at
• is age, so children are encouraged to listen and
understand right from the beginning. They are also
encouraged to use all of their senses to understand
and reproduce the language they are introduced to so
~ is learned and retained.
e course also focuses on building intelligence with
the inclusion of a number of activities designed to
stimulate children to think and process necessary
nformation. In addition, there is a strong emphasis on
he development of the memory via the use of music,
movement and rhymes.
Stories and games are also used widely to stimulate
children's interest.
Who is the book for?
Hooray! Let's play! is a three-level course (Starter,
Level A, Level B) for children between the ages of 3
and 5. The course is suitable for all pre-school
classrooms learning English, regardless of the number
of hours or lessons per week. The course emphasises
the use of songs and stories within the classroom -
tools which help young children to engage and
interact confidently with English at a low level.
Hooray! Starter is aimed at 3-year-olds and can be
used with children who have not had English classes
before.
Main aims of the course
The main aims of Hooray! Starter are:
• that children use all their senses to learn but, at the
same time, enjoy themselves and have fun
• that children see language as a means of
communication
• that listening and speaking skills are developed
slowly and accurately (although speaking skills
should be allowed to develop naturally when
children feel confident enough)
• to offer a wide range of activities that help the
learning process
• to encourage the development of the children's
social, emotional and spatial skills by encouraging
them to work together, to play, resolve problems
and reproduce actions and key language
• that children experience the act of language
learning as a positive one right from the beginning
and are enthusiastic and motivated by the activities
they are required to do
• to develop and encourage an open and inclusive
attitude to other people and cultures and to
underline and encourage key social values such as
the value of friendship and caring for animals
• to provide teachers with teaching notes, games and
activities for original and up-to-date lessons in the
kindergarten classroom
COURSE COMPONENTS
Student's Book
The Student's Book has 56 full-colour pages consisting
of four activity worksheets for each of the six main
units, with a variety of simple tasks, all featuring Peter
the panda and Rosie the rabbit. The worksheets are
perforated so they can be easily torn out and used. In
addition to the six main units of the book, there are
two final shorter units focusing on Christmas and
Easter, each with their own worksheets.
There is one page of stickers at the end of the
Student's Book for children to complete the
worksheets with. Children may need help to peel the
stickers from the sticker sheet You might also want to
cut out the relevant stickers needed for a lesson rather
than presenting children with a full page of stickers.
The Student's Book also includes a Songs Audio CD.
The audio CD contains all the songs from the course
so children can practise them at home with their
parents.
Teacher's Book
The Teacher's Book includes detailed teacher's notes
for using Hooray! Starter, a Teacher's DVD-ROM and a
Class Audio CD.
The detailed teacher's notes include a unit overview
and a lesson overview outlining the main objective, key
words, receptive and classroom language and activities
with a materials checklist There are full teaching notes
for each stage of the lessons, including step-by-step
instructions for all the activities and stories plus scripts
of the songs and suggestions for the language that
can be used during an activity.
Each main unit also has two optional extra lessons for
teachers who want more lesson material. These lessons
allow teachers to revise the material from the unit and
develop it by adding some new activities.
Teacher's DVD-ROM
The Teacher's DVD-ROM contains:
• A Teacher Training Video which shows one of the
authors of the course, Herbert Puchta, at work
within the kindergarten classroom with children of
3-5 years. It shows how some of the materials and
activities can be used within the classroom,
applying multi-sensory teaching techniques which
focus on the needs and cognitive capabilities of
very young learners.
• Printable Letters to Parents which can be edited
on-screen and inform the parents of their child's
progress (See p. 17f. for details).
Hooray! STARTER © Helbling Languages et
• Extra orksheets are used throughout all lessons.
works .eets can e pnnted out and used in class
or a home. Some of he worksheets will work
better if copied onto thicker paper or card . A list of
all the extra worksheets can be found in the
appendix of the Teacher's Book (See p. 144f.).
Class Audio CD
The audio CD in the Teacher's Book is for class use and
contains all the songs and stories from Hooray! Starter.
It also contains the routine songs, TPR action stories
and karaoke versions of the songs.
Hand Puppet
The Peter the panda hand puppet is used in all lessons
and can be used to welcome and praise the children,
as well as introduce the vocabulary and demonstrate
some of the games and activities.
Flashcards and Story Cards
The Flashcards can be used to introduce and practise
key vocabulary. A number of games and activities
using the flashcards are listed later in the introduction
section (See p. Sf.), and more specific suggestions are
included in the lesson plans for each unit.
The Story Cards can be used when listening and
retelling the stories from the CD to the children . Each
scene appears on an individual card with the script on
the back of each.
STRUCTURE
Unit structure
Each of the six main units in the Student's Book
consists of six Key Lessons, all focusing on a specific
topic. The key lessons from each unit provide a
complete overview of a topic. The Teacher's Book also
provides two Optional Extra Lessons focusing on
revising material from the key lessons. These optional
lessons are for teachers who teach more lessons per
week, for longer courses, or simply for extra practice
of the songs and stories when necessary.
The vocabulary and topics are introduced through a
song and then practised through songs and stories as
well as a range of other games and activities.
Lesson 1 introduces the children to the new
vocabulary through different games and activities.
There is no Pencil and Paper activity in this lesson to
give the children time to feel confident with the new
vocabulary.
et Hooray! STARTER © Helbling Languages
Lesson 2 uses a song to practise the target vocabulal)
for the unit. The worksheet during the Pencil and
Paper part of the lesson then reinforces the vocabulary
and the order of the vocabulary in the song.
Lesson 3 gives further practice of the target
vocabulary through revision of the song as well as
more games and activities. There is no Pencil and Paper
activity in this lesson to give the children a little extra
time to work with the target vocabulary.
Lesson 4 introduces a TPR (Total Physical Response)
action story to the children, which uses the target
vocabulary in short phrases. During the Pencil and
Paper section of the lesson, the children are
encouraged to put the pictures of the action story in
the correct order.
Lesson 5 introduces the children to a story in English
using the Story cards and the audio CD. Each story
reuses the target vocabulary of the unit in a fun way
which demonstrates an important life value, such as
friendship or sharing. The worksheet activity uses one
scene from the story.
Lesson 6 completes the unit by using a variety of
games to practise the vocabulary from the current and
previous units. In addition, during the Pencil and Paper
section of the lesson, the worksheet focuses on
Thinking Skills, such as focusing attention,
recognising items which are the same, or sequencing.
Optional Extra Lesson 1 gives the children chance to
repeat the action story and, if they are confident with
the order, you can mix up the order of the actions.
Optional Extra Lesson 2 gives the children a second
chance to listen to the story from the unit, and the
opportunity to sing the song from the story. The Pencil
and Paper activities in the optional extra lessons are
craft based and encourage the children to make items
to display in the classroom or to take home and share
with their family.
Lesson structure
Each lesson is split into three or four sections of about
ten minutes each (although the length of some
activities will depend on the number of children in your
class). An overall lesson should last between 30-35
minutes. For longer lessons, there is an If there is time
activity described at the end of each lesson in the
Teacher's Book which you may wish to use.
Alternatively, any games and activities which the
children have enjoyed from previous lessons can be
repeated.
Lessons start with a Warm-up section. Children sing
the Hello song and the Circle song, greet the Peter the
panda hand puppet and the rest of the class.
This is followed by Carpet Time. During Carpet Time,
the children are introduced to new vocabulary, stories
and songs as well as playing a variety of games. (It is
not necessary for Carpet Time to be done on a carpet,
any space where the children can sit together in a
circle or semi-circle on the floor can be used.)
The Table song is used to help move the children from
the floor to the tables and for the Pencil and Paper
section of the lesson. During this part of the lesson,
the children practise vocabulary and songs while
completing worksheets or art and craft activities.
(There is no Pencil and Paper activity in Lessons 1 and
3 to give the children a little extra time to work with
the new vocabulary.)
Each lesson ends with a Rounding Off section which
includes the Bye-bye song.
ACTIVITIES
Each unit contains the following activities:
• Songs
• Action Stories
• Stories
• Thinking Skills
In order for the children to retain their knowledge of a
foreign language, they need to enjoy it and to feel
inspired. Knowledge is more firmly fixed in children's
memories when it appeals to them. Most information
that reaches our brains via various senses is quickly
forgotten. The information which is retained is
normally information which is most relevant to us.
Thus, using stories and songs which children can relate
to is a good way to inspire and motivate their interest.
The activities in Hoorayl Starter are designed to be
compatible with the interests of 3-year-old children
and to facilitate their learning. They involve as many of
the children's senses as possible so they are engaged at
a variety of levels in learning and producing the
language.
Songs
Children generally enjoy songs at kindergarten age.
Singing in groups is fun and children learn many songs
during the course. The songs in the course have been
written specially for each unit. They revise the
language presented so teachers can easily see how
much of the language students are able to produce
and understand.
The first time the children listen to a new song, sing
along and use gestures or mimes. The children will
then gradually join in with you, over a period of time.
Once the children seem confident singing a song,
don't be afraid to use the karaoke version. You can
also adapt some of the songs by changing the words,
the order of the verses, and, if appropriate, using the
children's names in the song.
Action Stories
James Asher1
created a method of language teaching
based on Total Physical Response (TPR) where teachers
are encouraged to teach children to understand and
use language using all their senses. Action stories use
actions, gestures and mime. This total engagement of
the children in the story makes learning an active
rather than a passive experience and allows them to
retain and experience the language more profoundly.
It also encourages them to develop good listening
skills. Children hear a phrase then act it out by copying
the teacher, thus linking comprehension directly to
action and, in so doing, fixing the information firmly in
their brains.
Action stories use all senses and benefit children's
learning process in a number of ways:
• Acting out stories allows children to develop skills in
following instructions and working with other
people. As language and action are closely linked,
meaning is learned directly through action.
• Acting out stories is fun. Children can relax and
enjoy the experience. Also, the group provides
security, particularly for those children who take
longer to speak. In this case, they can use other
children in the group as models for the appropriate
language to use.
• From the beginning, children learn that they can
achieve something in English. This increases their
confidence in learning a foreign language.
• Development of listening skills is important.
However, at this level, children concentrate more on
developing their vocabulary and their awareness of
the language in general. Listening is concentrated
on more specifically in the next level of the course.
Action stories allow children to listen to the teacher
and thus gain confidence in pronunciation and
intonation of key words. The learning goal is
achieved when children can act out an action story
independently after practising it. They do not need
to be able to recite the story or even to be able to
reconstruct it freely - it is good enough that they
can act it.
We suggest that you keep the action story mimes and
gestures different from the mimes and gestures used
when introducing the vocabulary. One way to do this is
to always do the mimes and gestures for the action
story standing up, and to do the vocabulary mimes
and gestures sitting down in a circle or semi-circle.

Stories
It is well known that stories make an essential
contribution to the cultural, social and emotional
development of a child:
The story is a cultural universal; everyone everywhere
enjoys stories. The story, then, is not just some casual
entertainment; it reflects a basic and powerful form in
which we make sense of the world and experience. 2
In the foreign-language classroom, children learn to
understand sequences of events via stories. They
enjoy good, motivating stories and usually remember
them well if they are presented appropriately and
interestingly. They can also be used to develop
children's enjoyment and appreciation of theatre.
Teachers use the Story cards w ith the audio CD or tell
the story themselves. (The script is on the back of the
cards.)
Students can use the character cut-outs from
Worksheet 6a+b (Unit 1, Extra Lesson 1) to act out the
scenes (See p. 11 for details)
In addition, each story has its own cut-out mini
storybook for students to colour. (For detailed
description of how to work with the mini storybook
see p. 11.)
The stories in the course are also used to teach
children moral values such as helping each other and
the importance of friendship .
Thinking Skills
The Pencil and Paper activity in Lesson 6 of each main
unit focuses on Thinking Skills, such as focusing
attention, recognising similarities and differences and
continuing sequences. These Thinking Skills activities
aim to cognitively engage the children in the task as
well as develop and improve the skills they will need
before and after kindergarten.
SOME TEACHING TIPS
Working with the flashcards
Flashcards visually introduce key words and are an
indispensable part of most pre-school courses. Here
are some teachings tips as to how to use the flashcards
in your lessons.
• Remember that when trying to convey the meaning
of a new word to children, the word should be
shown first, so use the flashcards at the beginning
of every lesson to introduce the new vocabulary.
• Make sure that children always hear the word a
number of times before you start to use it w ithin
the lesson. Children need to hear and really
understand the pronunciation and intonation of the
2 Egan. K. (1986). Teaching as Story Telling. Chicago. University of Chicago
Press. p. 2.
e Hooray! STARTER © Helbling Languages
word a number of times. Use the CD, your voice,
the songs and any other listening devices to really
anchor the word in the child's memory.
• Get active! Use the children's bodies, ears, and eyes
to reinforce the new words and language they are
learning. Pictures, pronunciation and motor-
processing techniques used together all help the
children retain the word and its meaning in an
active way.
• Repeat the new words using the flashcards. Keep
repeating until you feel the children have absorbed
the meaning and relevance of a word. You can use
different voices to keep their interest as we suggest
within the Teacher's Book notes.
Below are some games using flash cards we have
suggested based on the principles outlined above.
Vocabulary games using memory
Point to...
• Put the flashcards on the floor in front of the
children with the picture facing up.
• Point to each of the cards and elicit the correct
word for each picture.
• Say Point to... and name one of the flashcards.
Then encourage the children to point to the correct
flashcard .
• You could also say Touch the... and let the children
touch the flashcard you have named.
• If the children are likely to hit instead of gently
touch the cards, roll some sheets of paper into
batons and let the children touch the flashcards
with the paper batons. You could also give the
paper batons to half the children, and after they
have touched a flashcard, all children pass their
baton to a child without a baton so everyone gets a
turn.
Where's the...?
• Show the children each of the flashcards and elicit
the correct word as you place each card face down
on the floor.
• Mix up the cards by sliding them around the floor.
• Make Peter ask the children for one of the
flashcards.
• Allow the children to take it in turns to try turning
over a card to find the flashcard Peter wants.
Yes or no game
• Show the children the flashcards and elicit the
words. Then show the children that you are mixing
the cards in your hands so neither you nor the
children know the order of the cards.
• Take one of the flashcards and hold it above your
head so that the children can see which flashcard
you are holding but you can't.
• With your free hand, point to the flashcard and
name one of the possible flashcard items.
Encourage the children to say Yes. if you guessed
correctly and No, sorry. if not.
• If the answer was No, sorry., keep guessing until
the children say Yes.
• Repeat this with some of the other flashcards.
Hold it up
• Give the flashcards out to some of the children.
• Say Hold up (green). and encourage the child
holding the appropriate flashcard to hold it in the
air.
• Repeat a couple of times using different words and
then change the children holding the flashcards so
different children get a chance to play.
Vocabulary games for speaking
Uncover the card
• Cover a flashcard with a piece of card (or another
flashcard).
• Gradually move the piece of card up/down or
across the flashcard to show some of the picture on
the card.
• Encourage the children to guess which flashcard is
hidden as it is being revealed.
Flash the flashcard
• Show the children the flashcards and elicit the
correct words.
• Show the children that you are mixing the
flashcards in your hands so neither you nor the
children know the order of the cards.
• Hold the flash cards so you can see the first card but
the children can't. Quickly rotate or fan the cards so
the children get a quick look at the first flashcard
and say What is it?
• Encourage the children to name the flashcard they
think they can see.
• Gradually reduce the speed that you rotate or fan
the flashcard until the children can correctly name
the card.
What's missing?
• Elicit the vocabulary for the flashcards you are using
and then put all the cards on the floor face down
so the picture can't be seen.
• Mix the cards up and then turn them over one at a
time. Elicit the name of the picture on the card until
only one card remains face down.
• Encourage the children to name the card which is
missing (and is face down). Ask What's missing?,
then turn the card over to check if the children
were correct.
• If the children are interested, play the game again
and leave a different card face down.
Find the flashcard
• Choose a confident child from the class and ask
him or her to choose a flashcard then stand near
you. Ask this child to close his or her eyes and give
him or her Peter to hold.
• Tell the other children to be quiet and show them
that you are hiding the flashcard, for example
under a cushion, in a toy box, on the bookcase, etc.
• Ask the child who is holding Peter to open his or
her eyes and ask the child where he or she thinks
the flashcard is.
• Make it clear to the other children that they are not
to say where the flashcard is hidden.
• Encourage the child holding Peter to walk around
the classroom to find the hidden flashcard. Keep
saying the name of the picture on the flashcard as
the child moves around.
• As the child gets closer to the flashcard, say the
word from the flashcard more loudly and show that
they are correct (for example, nod your head). As
the child gets further away, say it more quietly and
show that they are wrong (for example, shake your
head).
• Once the child has found the card, the child should
return to the circle with Peter and the flashcard and
another child can hold Peter.

Working with the mini flashcards
Note:
To make the mini flashcards last longer, you could print
them onto card or thick paper before the children colour
them, or you could laminate the cards after the children
have coloured them ,
On the Teacher's DVD-ROM there are sets of mini
flashcards for each main unit of Hooray! Starter, If you
have extra time available, the children can colour and
make the mini flashcards during the lesson, or you can
colour and make them yourself. The mini flashcards
can be used to play some of the games in the lessons,
for example Bingo!, Snap! and Musical chairs, or, if
parents want to use them with their children, extra
copies could be made to take home.
Bingo!
• Put the teacher's flashcards face down on the floor
in front of Peter (everyone must be using the same
vocabulary set).
• Help the children to move so that they have a space
in front of them, Help them to choose some of
their mini flashcards and put them on the floor with
the picture facing up.
• Make Peter turn over one of the flashcards from his
set, and show and name the flashcard for the
children, Then encourage the children to turn over
the mini flashcard with the same picture so the
picture can't be seen.
• Repeat this until some of the children have turned
over all of their mini flashcards and encourage
them to shout Bingo! Peter can then kiss, hug or
high-five with the children who have 'Bingo',
• If the children are still interested, then turn all the
cards back over and repeat the activity, this time
calling the names of the flashcards a little quicker,
Snap!
• Help the children to move so that they have a space
in front of them, Help them to choose some of
their mini flashcards and put them on the floor with
the picture facing up.
• Hold the teacher's flashcards in a fan. Make Peter
select one of the cards and hold it so the children
can't see which card has been chosen.
• Encourage the children to choose one of their mini
flashcards and hold it up in the air so you can see
which card they have selected,
• Make Peter show the card which he selected and
name the card for the children.
• Make Peter hug, kiss or high-five the children who
are holding up the same card and say Snap!
• Put all the cards back to the starting position and
repeat the activity with Peter and the children
selecting a different flashcard,

• Put chairs, cushions or laminated mini flashcards in
a place where the children can easily walk around
(and sit on) them. If you are using chairs or
cushions, a mini flashcard should be clearly
attached to each chair or cushion,
• Play some music for the children to move around
to,
• Stop the music and say Sit down. and encourage
the children to sit down on the nearest seat that is
available.
• Randomly select one of the teacher's flashcards and
name the picture on the flashcard.
• All the children sitting on a chair with that mini
flashcard are 'out'. Ask these children to stand near
you for the next round and then allow them to join
back in the game the round after.
• Play the music again and allow the remaining
children to move around the chairs and repeat the
activity,
If you are keeping the children's mini flashcards in the
classroom, you could put them in envelopes or boxes
with the children's name so they are easy to find .
Working with the hand puppet
The Peter the panda hand puppet performs a variety of
functions in the classroom . It can be used to help
classroom management by:
• demonstrating activities to the children
• quietening the class down
• choosing children to take part in activities
• comforting children who are upset by giving them a
hug or a kiss
Peter can also help with using and practising English
by:
• making mistakes for the children to correct
• modelling language for the children to copy or
repeat
• getting embarrassed and asking the chi ldren to
help him with their English
• giving more opportunities for using English for
example saying Hello. and Bye-bye., waking Peter
up, or guessing flashcards that Peter is thinking of
The following methodology tips make the use of Peter
particularly effective in the lesson:
• Use a distinctive voice for Peter by changing your
voice slightly. You can also copy the voice of Peter
in the stories. This helps to give Peter his own
identity in the children's perception, i.e. it makes
him seem as real as possible.
• Only make Peter look like he is speaking when he is
speaking. When you are speaking as yourself Peter
should not move, This is an important aid to
comprehension for the children.
• When children speak to Peter in their first language
(L1) he repeats the request in English or doesn't
understand them. Peter should never be used in an
L1 lesson because he serves as an important
psychological anchor for foreign language use.
Working with the Student's Book
The Student's Book is used during the Pencil and
Paper section. In order for you to use the worksheets
in the Student's Book effectively we suggest the
following:
• If possible, keep the Student's Books in the
classroom, or in the kindergarten. This prevents the
children from colouring them at home and ensures
that you always have the sheets you need for the
lesson.
• Only hand out the Student's Book when it is
needed during the Pencil and Paper section of the
lesson. Alternatively, you can tear out the
appropriate page and give this to the children.
• At the end of the Pencil and Paper section, all
worksheets should be collected. These can then be
stored in a folder for the children or displayed on
the walls in the classroom.
• Parents can be invited to look at their child's book
or folder at the end of the lessons, or you can send
the worksheets for a unit home at the end of the
unit
Working with the Story cards
The Story cards are used to tell the story with the
audio CD. While showing the children the Story cards
you can either play the story from the audio CD or you
can read the script for the story from the back of each
card. In order for you to use the Story cards effectively
we suggest the following:
• Check the order of the Story cards before the
lesson, to make sure they are in the correct order.
• Only show the children one Story card at a time
while you are telling the story and point to
characters and items in the picture while the
children listen to the story.
• You might find it easiest to have the cards in a pile
with the pictures face down and the first card on
the top of the pile. In this way, you can pick up the
top card from the pile to show the children and you
can see the script on the back of the card.
• If you are reading the script on the back of the
Story cards, try to use a different voice for each
character so the children know which character is
talking.
On the Teacher's DVD-ROM there are
character cut-outs that can be used to play
the characters or act out parts of the stories
(Worksheet 6a+b).
Working with the
mini storybooks
On the Teacher's DVD-ROM, there are worksheets for
mini storybooks for each story presented in Hooray!
Starter. If there is time, children get to choose and
colour one picture from the story during the Pencil and
Paper section of Lesson 5. The children can then take
their storybook home and look at the story with their
parents, or even describe the events from the story
using their first language.
How to make the mini storybook
1) Print the two worksheets onto
one A4 page (front and back).
Or print the two sheets
separately and stick them
together.
2) Cut around the story on the
worksheets.
3) Fold the sheet in
half horizontally.
4) Fold the sheet in half
vertically.
5) Staple or use sticky tape

along the fold on the left hand
side of the book to fix it
6) Cut along the fold
at the top.

HOW YOUNG LEARNERS LEARN
Methodology
Children of this age are already in the process of
learning their first language (L1) so they are already
equipped with basic skills to learn a second language.
Second language learning allows them to use these
skills as well as developing others.
Understanding without words
Before young learners start to use words, they decode
meaning from intonation, mime, gesture and overall
context. This is of great value when learning a foreign
language as these skills can be applied to the new
language and children can begin to understand using
a process they are already familiar with. This develops
confidence and a sense of achievement.
Using limited words
Young learners are encouraged to express themselves
as much as they can within their second language,
however, as their grasp of the language is limited, they
will often resort to playing and/or creating new words
within it, or transferring what they have learnt from
other contexts. They may, for example, use words from
their native language but say them with an English
accent. These sorts of strategies give the teacher an
important insight into how the child is progressing
with second language acquisition.
Learning indirectly
At this age, grammar, punctuation or other structural
aspects of language are not key to the learning
process. Children of this age love stories, the sound of
new words and songs that they can sing along to and
do the actions to. They like games where they are
challenged to think and guess and, in so doing, use
structures they have learnt. They also enjoy copying
movements from a story or imitating the voices of the
characters. The way they pronounce a word is often
almost identical to the model they have heard on the
CD. By doing this, children are learning new skills and
experiencing language as a means of communicating.
Interacting and speaking
Most young learners have a natural need to
communicate. Using this as a starting point, both
teachers and parents can help, improve and stimulate
their child in the second language by interacting as
much as possible in it and helping them to read, listen
and talk when appropriate. Sometimes you may just
want them to listen rather than communicate so the
teacher needs to establish a good balance of speaking
and listening within the classroom .
e Hooray! STARTER © Helbling Languages
Holistic language learning
We use language to understand others and to make
ourselves understood. Most adult learners want to
understand how a second language works and what
rules it follows, for example, how verbs are formed
and used. They use this cognitive knowledge to learn
systematically.
Children, however, learn in a much more holistic way.
Listening comprehension is a fundamental part of
this process. Learners speculate about what they hear
and are helped in their comprehension by mime,
gesture and visual prompts like photos and pictures.
Likewise, young learners will gradually start to
understand the instruction 'Stand up!' because the
teacher actually stands up each time the phrase is
used. By doing this, the children interpret the meaning
visually, they imitate and so learn its meaning and
sound through action and repetition . This repetition
allows the children to fix both meaning and sound into
their long-term memory.
For successful learning to take place, children also
need to feel relaxed and at ease within the classroom.
Positive feedback and praise are fundamental in
encouraging them to experiment and push back the
boundaries of the language in so far as they feel able.
Patience is also necessary for when they have
misunderstood or need more time to understand and
absorb relevant language or words.
Content is also of crucial importance and needs to be
meaningful and interesting. Songs and stories
encourage children to connect with the second
language at a basic sensory level via movement and
sound. Their ability to understand, for example, a
story in the second language, is a good way to
increase self-esteem and confidence in the second
language and heightens their motivation to learn.
Speaking skills are also important to develop.
Songs allow children to practise pronunciation and
intonation and repeat important words and
expressions in fun ways that fix them in their
memories. Stories help children memorise important
expressions and improve their understanding of
connections. Eventually, they are confident enough to
act out simple utterances in communicative contexts.
THE SMILE APPROACH®
While researching and writing for young learners, we
have formalised a set of principles with a handy
acronym to help ourselves and teachers appreciate the
key basic principles for teaching in a systematic and
clear way. Our approach is called The SMILE Approach®
and you can find a breakdown of its main points
below with how they affect and inform our writing
and your teaching.
S M L E
Skill-oriented learning
The development of second language skills does not
take place independently of general cognitive
development. When children try to understand the
meaning of a sentence, they draw on skills that they
also use for solving problems, establishing relationships,
drawing conclusions etc. Because of this, it makes
sense to integrate second language learning into the
curriculum as early as possible. As we have said,
children of this age learn holistically so integrating
second language learning into the curriculum
encourages the development not only of the child's
general intellectual skills but also of his or her linguistic
ones.
S M I L E
4Multi-sensory learner motivation
You need only watch children playing to understand
how important learning through the senses is at this
age. Hooray! Let's play! aims to involve as many senses
as possible during the language-learning process. This
is based on the following principles:
• When pupils learn, they do so through their senses:
they learn what they see, hear and do.
• Our 'hearing' sense is located on the so-called left
side of the brain. Processing information
kinaesthetically - by concrete activity - is closely
connected to the right side of the brain. The visual
reception of information can be controlled by either
the left or the right side of the brain.
• The better the senses are integrated at the
presentation of information stage, the better
children will receive the information (multisensory
reception).
• Receiving and processing information activates the
visual, auditory and kinaesthetic neurological
systems. During the processes of thinking and
remembering, the brain's multisensory activation
heightens students' ability to pay attention,
concentrate and store linguistic information in their
long-term memory.
• The fact that most children have different learning
styles and a preference for one sensory channel
over another (and therefore weaknesses in one or
two of the other sensory channels) underlines the
importance of a teaching methodology that takes
into account the differing needs of different
learners and one which strikes a balance between
visual, auditory and kinaesthetic presentation,
processing and practice.
• Children love stories. When presented in an
appropriate multi-sensory way, these stories remain
in the memory. Words, parts of sentences and
sentences can thus be fixed in the long-term
memory.
S M L E
4Intelligence-building activities
'Intelligence' is a term that covers a range of different
human abilities all independent of one another.
Researchers into intelligence speak of a multiplicity of
'intelligences' . Howard Gardner claims that there are
seven different areas of intelligence, i.e. 'multiple
intelligences' 3 Modern research into intelligence
indicates that intelligence is not totally dependent on
what we are born with . Intelligence is also quite clearly
influenced by how we learn. Simply put, intelligence
can be learned. Learning a second language early on
develops and stimulates a child's intelligence in a
number of ways. All the intelligences outlined by
Howard Gardner are brought into play and used by the
SMILE approach:

4Long-term memory storage
through music, movement,
rhythm and rhyme
Many adults can remember and retell the rhymes and
songs they learned in childhood easily and
rhythmically. Often the reason is because they have
been learnt using actions and movement. The ability to
grasp and retell a story using the rhythmic structuring
of the words is an indication of the level of language
development of a child. The main function of this
rhythmic differentiation ability is that it combines
perception and understanding and so is important for
remembering words, writing and recognising sentence
patterns.
5 M L E
4Exciting stories and games
When children identify with what has been learned,
they remember it. They remember phrases, parts of
sentences and often whole sentences (so-called chunks
of language). Good foreign-language learners can
repeatedly transfer such chunks of language to other
contexts and so practise and consolidate the foreign
language through play.
e Hooray! STARTER © Helbling Languages
HOW TO MANAGE YOUR CLASS
Children of this age group have naturally got a short
attention span, are restless and get excited very easily.
We believe that it is better to try and divert their
energy towards activities rather than try to control it or
ask them to be silent or still.
What does the teacher do?
The English teacher has a number of different tasks:
• managing and focusing the attention of the
learners
• giving linguistic input with the aid of interactive
materials and checking this has been understood
• establishing a routine in the classroom
• encouraging the children to speak in the foreign
language
• using the first language in small amounts
• managing the seating in the classroom to suit the
activity.
Managing and focusing attention
Some tools you can use to manage their attention and
focus their attention during the lesson are:
• Get the children used to hearing you speaking in
English.
• Follow a similar pattern of activities each lesson and
mark changes in the lesson using the routines.
• Use the Calm down song when the children are
becoming too energetic as a signal that everyone
needs to calm down (See p. 17).
• Plan for quiet periods in your lessons, for example
Pencil and Paper time, to give the children the
chance to work independently and for you to give
attention to individuals.
• Alternate between activities with lots of movement
and very little movement. Movement and making
noise tends to excite children of this age. If you
allow too much movement and noise, a class of
kindergarten children can quickly get overexcited
and difficult to control. By following a loud or
energetic activity with a quieter activity, you can
calm the children down a little and stop them from
becoming too excited.
• Be flexible, occasionally it is better to go with
distractions and interruptions and try to use them in
the lesson rather than trying to make the children
ignore them.
-
Checking understanding
We can't understand everything that we hear in a
foreign language. We often work out the meaning
from the context. A good teacher will try to help
children understand as much as possible by using the
children's sensory channels (auditory, visual and
motor).
In order to check comprehension, many teachers use
the following methods which are slightly counter-
productive:
• Repeatedly translating individual words. This makes
children feel that they can only understand when
they know every single word. This is not necessary
as when you teach action stories, you teach the
whole phrase rather than individual words.
Translating each word hinders comprehenshion .
There are some circumstances where the teacher
may need to use the child's L1 to explain a phrase.
If, for example, a child displays aggressive or
frustrated behaviour because they can't
understand, it would benefit the child to give the
L1 equivalent as well as showing the required
action again.
• Asking the question Do you understand? is often
not helpful. Children will say Yes. rather than
explaining. It is better to watch how the children
behave. This will enable you to determine if you
need to help them with their comprehension or
not.
• Teachers often give an instruction in English then
translate it straight into the students' native
language. This may make children lazy as they
realise that each instruction is also given in their
first language so they stop listening. It is better for
the teacher to speak in short sentences, give the
children time to think, then repeat the instructions
slowly using mimes, gestures, pictures or
demonstrations if necessary.
Teacher talk and classroom
language
Teaching in kindergarten is mainly about commu-
nication. It is required, therefore, that the children
understand their teacher when performing activities in
English . That is why vocabulary is acquired in a playful
way at the beginning of every unit and should be
reinforced with facial expressions, gesture, intonation
and visual aids such as the Story cards and flashcards.
The children can thus tryout important strategies for
successful contact with the foreign language.
It is important to expose the children to as much
English as possible during their English lessons.
Research indicates that children of this age can acquire
a foreign language and good levels of pronunciation
by a natural exposure to the foreign language.
However, for this to be successful the children need as
much exposure to the foreign language as possible.
Therefore, we recommend that you try to speak as
much English as possible during the lesson, and try to
conduct the lesson as much as possible in only English.
It is especially important that classroom language, the
everyday instructions and directions that you use to
keep the children on task and focused is in English as
this w ill give the children the most natural exposure to
English.
The teacher can assume that the children are able to
decode new language when it is presented with
gestures and visual clues. Therefore, from a very early
stage of the foreign language lesson, simple
instructions such as Sit down. and Colour the plane
blue. can be given only in English. Using L1 might be
helpful when something needs to be explained quickly
in order to not disturb the continuity of an activity or
when you want to give some pre-information for the
activities. However, avoid using translations unless they
are necessary.
Essential classroom language is clearly indicated in the
lesson notes throughout the course and some useful
examples of classroom language are listed below.

Using English names within the
classroom
Many teachers give their students English names when
working in the classroom. Two reasons given for this
are:
• children like to assume the identity of someone else
• when the teacher says, for example, Greta, sit
down please. most of the sentence is in English,
the child's name isn't, so it makes sense to change
it too.
We think it is better to retain the child's own name in
the classroom for the following reasons:
• The children - and sometimes the teacher - keep
forgetting the English names of their classmates.
This leads to confusion about who is meant to be
following the instructions that are given.
• If children are communicating in the foreign
language, this means that they are stating their
own feelings, state of health, preferences, etc.
If they are using a different name, they are using
this as their identity. For example, if the teacher
asks Ben (who is actually called Martin) to name his
favourite colour, Ben talks about Ben. Martin's
identity is not present.
• If Martin meets another child in the holidays and
this child can only communicate in English, if he is
asked his name, he will answer Ben and not Martin.
How to arrange seating in the
classroom
Although it is unrealistic to expect the tables in the
classroom to be moved for short periods of teaching,
the following points should be considered:
• It is easiest to focus and keep children's attention
when they can see you clearly and you can see each
of them. For this reason, most games and activities
should be played with the children sat on chairs or
on the floor in a circle or semi-circle.
• When doing Pencil and Paper activities, the children
should be sat on chairs at a table, but the chairs
and tables should be arranged in such a way that
the children have enough room in their places to be
able to move.
• All children should have a clear view of you and any
materials you are showing or demonstrating at any
stage of the lesson.

Tips for teaching very
young learners
This most important tip we can give for teaching very
young learners is be flexible and enjoy it!
The lesson plans provided in the Teacher's Book are
guidelines only. You know your class and can make the
best decisions about what will work for you and your
class in your English classroom area. Don't be afraid to
try new games and activities in your classroom, but
constantly listen, watch and react to the children in
your class during everything you do.
Some suggestions to help you teach your young
learners successfully:
• Encourage the children to join in with the actions
for the stories and songs. Children will learn the
actions quickly and this can give them the
confidence to join in with the English lessons even
though they might not feel confident enough to
speak. Actions can also prompt the children and
help them remember words and phrases they have
produced in previous lessons.
• Plan for all activities to be short but allow activities
and games to be repeated as long as the children
are happy to continue doing them.
• Remember to reuse games and activities the
children particularly enjoyed in later lessons.
• If the children don't react well to an activity, just
stop and move on to something new. Try it again
later in another lesson perhaps with different
vocabulary or a different topic.
• Be aware of the children's energy levels depending
on the time of the day/the day of the week/the
weather. Try to structure your lesson to allow for
this. If they arrive at the lesson excited, you can
start with a quiet activity to calm them down, or if
they have low energy you can do something
energetic to wake them up.
• Don't think that you have to do all the activities in
the Teacher's Book. Choose the activities that you
think your children will react best to.
• Experiment with the materials and let the children
guide you in adapting the games and activities.
• Listen to the children and make them feel that you
value their opinions.
• Allow the children to produce English words or
phrases at their own speed. Some children take
longer than others but most will want to produce
when they are having fun and feel confident
enough.
• Encourage the children's natural enjoyment of
songs, stories and characters and build on this
enjoyment in your lessons.
• Have fun and enjoy the lessons yourself. Children
can tell when you are having fun and will want to
have fun with you .
OVERVIEW OF ROUTINES
Children of this age group work better w ithin a clear
structure where they know what to expect and what is
expected of them . Therefore, it is important to set up
clear routines and indicators at the start of the course
for the children to follow through all of their English
lessons.
In Hooray! Starter each stage of the lesson can be
introduced using a song which is on the audio CD. The
children are not expected to learn these songs
themselves, but you might find that they join in singing
them as the course progresses.
Hello routine
This marks the start of each lesson for the children.
Use the Peter the panda hand puppet to greet the
children and encourage them to wave and say hello
back.
Hello song
Hello, hello,
It's nice to see you.
Hello, hello,
It's nice to see you.
Bye-bye routine
This marks the end of each lesson for the children. The
Peter hand puppet should say bye-bye to each child as
they leave the English lesson.
Bye-bye song
Bye-bye, bye-bye,
It's time to go.
Bye-bye, bye-bye,
It's time to go.
Bye-bye!
Transition routines
These are to help the transition from one area of the
classroom to another in a calm and organised manner.
Encourage the children to join hands during the song
and then lead them in a snake to the new area of the
classroom.
Circle song
Come with me,
Come with me,
Make a circle.
Come with me,
Come with me,
One, two, three.
Table song
Come with me,
Come with me,
Sit at a table,
One, two, three.
Story routine
This tells the children that the next activity is listening
to a story. As you sing the song, make appropriate
actions and encourage the children to sit down quietly
ready to listen.
Story song
It's time for a story <mime opening a book>
Listen and look. <hold hand to ear and point to
your eye>
It's time for a story <mime opening a book>
Listen and look. <hold hand to ear and point to
your eye>
Tidying up routine/Cleaning up routine (AmE)
This marks the end of a Pencil and Paper activity and
can be used to encourage the children to help you tidy
up before you move on to the next activity. Sing the
Tidy up song / Clean up song (AmEJ and start to tidy
up while encouraging the children to help you.
Tidy up song / Clean up song (AmE)
Let's help each other
And tidy up / clean up (AmEJ.
Let's help each other
And tidy up / clean up (AmEJ.
Calm down routine
This can be used any time the children get overexcited
and need to be calmed down. As you sing the song
get quieter, put your fingers on your lips and
encourage the children to sit down quietly with you.
You might need to sing the song more than once to
get the class to calm down completely.
Calm down song
Let's be quiet,
Let's calm down.
Let's be quiet,
Let's calm down.
HOW PARENTS CAN HELP
Parents of young children generally have a positive
attitude towards learning a foreign language and will
want to actively support their children's development.
You should encourage this involvement by keeping the
parents fully informed about what is happening in the
language lessons. If appropriate, you could also invite
parents to visit their child's lesson to watch them
perform the action stories. If parents have time and are
willing to try and speak in English, they could even
help out with some of the art and craft activities.
The Teacher's DVD-ROM includes letters that you can
edit and send home to the parents at the beginning or
at the end of each unit. These not only inform the
parents about the topic and materials their children
will be covering or have covered in class, but also
include the lyrics for the songs in each unit and some
information about how children learn a foreign
language.
Hoorayl STARTER © Helbling Languages e
If parents want to speak to you about their child's
learning, it is recommended that the following points
are made:
• You want the child's early experiences of learning a
foreign language to be positive ones so they gain
confidence and lose their shyness about expressing
themselves in a foreign language.
• Parents should not expect their children to speak at
the beginning. Children need to learn to understand
first and then respond using simple language.
• Using Hoorayl Starter will develop a variety of the
children's skills - intellectual, social, emotional and
motor.
• Learning a foreign language at an early age
encourages an open-minded attitude towards other
cultures.
• It is very important to praise children for their
progress in learning.
• If children want to show you what they can do,
show interest. Errors are a sign of progress in
learning.
e Hooray! STARTER © Helbling Languages
• Parents should encourage their children to learn the
foreign language holistically and not translate it.
They may be able to understand the meaning of
the sentences and phrases but not understand
them in their first language. This is okay. It is better
not to translate.
• Parents should not be disappointed if their child
cannot say something that they have learned.
• Parents can help their children to learn English with
Hooray! Starter in the following ways:
- Songs can be listened to and revised using the
Songs Audio CD in the Student's Book.
- Parents can play 'at school' with their children
taking the role of the pupil. Children take great
pleasure in teaching their parents a foreign
language.
- Parents can look at the worksheets and art and
craft objects with the children and talk to them in
their first language about what they did.

clothes that the children in the class are wearing.
If children know any other clothes or colours in
English, you can also help the children make new
verses for the song.
3. Mix up the My clothes action story.
• Tell the children the three actions from the action
story and do the actions as you name each one.
• Encourage the children to join in with the actions as
you name them.

they think is your favourite.
• If the children are finding it hard, you can point to
each flashcard as you say the word and show that
this is wrong (for example, shake your head). Then

and then encourage the children to tell you what
colour each item of clothing should be, for example
say What colour is the T-shirt? or What colour
are the shoes?
• Allow the children to colour and decorate the
clothes on the drawing. To avoid conflict, it might
be best to tell the children which part they are
colouring.
• If you have paint and scrap materials or paper
available, you could also let the children use
these to give the clothes texture (for example use
coloured sand, sweet wrappers, cotton wool, etc.).
• If there are a lot of children in the class, you might
want to make more than one outline of a child for
the children to decorate.
• Once the children have decorated the drawn
person, display it in the classroom and encourage
the children to feel the different textures (if you
have used them) and talk to the children about the
clothes and colours that they have used.

the clothes from the children.
• Play some music for the children to move around to.
You could use some of the songs that the children
have learnt so far.
• Stop the music and encourage the children to choose
a flashcard to stand next to.
• Once all the children are by a flashcard, randomly say
an item of clothing. All the children standing by that
flashcard are 'out' . Ask these children to stand near
you for the next round and then allow them to join
back in the game the round after.

(Worksheet 34) on different coloured pieces of paper,
or colour sets of Easter eggs. Alternatively, if there is
time in the lesson, the children could colour some of
the Easter eggs before you hide them.
Hide the Easter eggs around the classroom. Make
sure it is possible for the children to find and reach
the eggs. If it is nice weather and you have a safe
area to use outside, you might want to hide the
Easter eggs outside for the children to find.
• Put the children into small groups or pairs depending
on the number of Easter eggs which you have
prepared.
• Give the children time to search for the Easter eggs
in their groups. They should look for as many as they
can.
• Once the children have found all the Easter eggs, you
can ask them to say the colours of their eggs, if they
know the names of the colours in English.
• The group which finds the most Easter eggs is the
winner and you could reward them with a small
sweet or a hug from Peter.

Preparation Tip!
cut up some of the Easter eggs or mini flashcards
from previous units. You will need enough sets to
have one Easter egg or mini flashcard per child. If
you have extra time available, the children can colour
and make the mini flashcards or Easter eggs during a
lesson, or you can colour and make them yourself.
Stick the mini flashcards or Easter eggs on the
children's chairs so that the children can easily see
them. If there aren't enough chairs available in the
classroom, then you could use cushions or laminated
copies of the mini flashcards instead.
• Put the chairs, cushions or laminated flashcards in a
place where the children can easily walk around them
and sit on them.

    " Introduction Hooray! Starter isa comprehensive course for teaching English to 3-year-old children in kindergarten. Its main aim is to teach learning through play. Hooray! introduces children to basic listening and speaking skills in English using simple principles for young learners: Jeveloping listening skills is extremely important at • is age, so children are encouraged to listen and understand right from the beginning. They are also encouraged to use all of their senses to understand and reproduce the language they are introduced to so ~ is learned and retained. e course also focuses on building intelligence with the inclusion of a number of activities designed to stimulate children to think and process necessary nformation. In addition, there is a strong emphasis on he development of the memory via the use of music, movement and rhymes. Stories and games are also used widely to stimulate children's interest. Who is the book for? Hooray! Let's play! is a three-level course (Starter, Level A, Level B) for children between the ages of 3 and 5. The course is suitable for all pre-school classrooms learning English, regardless of the number of hours or lessons per week. The course emphasises the use of songs and stories within the classroom - tools which help young children to engage and interact confidently with English at a low level. Hooray! Starter is aimed at 3-year-olds and can be used with children who have not had English classes before. Main aims of the course The main aims of Hooray! Starter are: • that children use all their senses to learn but, at the same time, enjoy themselves and have fun • that children see language as a means of communication • that listening and speaking skills are developed slowly and accurately (although speaking skills should be allowed to develop naturally when children feel confident enough) • to offer a wide range of activities that help the learning process • to encourage the development of the children's social, emotional and spatial skills by encouraging them to work together, to play, resolve problems and reproduce actions and key language • that children experience the act of language learning as a positive one right from the beginning and are enthusiastic and motivated by the activities they are required to do • to develop and encourage an open and inclusive attitude to other people and cultures and to underline and encourage key social values such as the value of friendship and caring for animals • to provide teachers with teaching notes, games and activities for original and up-to-date lessons in the kindergarten classroom COURSE COMPONENTS Student's Book The Student's Book has 56 full-colour pages consisting of four activity worksheets for each of the six main units, with a variety of simple tasks, all featuring Peter the panda and Rosie the rabbit. The worksheets are perforated so they can be easily torn out and used. In addition to the six main units of the book, there are two final shorter units focusing on Christmas and Easter, each with their own worksheets. There is one page of stickers at the end of the Student's Book for children to complete the worksheets with. Children may need help to peel the stickers from the sticker sheet You might also want to cut out the relevant stickers needed for a lesson rather than presenting children with a full page of stickers. The Student's Book also includes a Songs Audio CD. The audio CD contains all the songs from the course so children can practise them at home with their parents. Teacher's Book The Teacher's Book includes detailed teacher's notes for using Hooray! Starter, a Teacher's DVD-ROM and a Class Audio CD. The detailed teacher's notes include a unit overview and a lesson overview outlining the main objective, key words, receptive and classroom language and activities with a materials checklist There are full teaching notes for each stage of the lessons, including step-by-step instructions for all the activities and stories plus scripts of the songs and suggestions for the language that can be used during an activity. Each main unit also has two optional extra lessons for teachers who want more lesson material. These lessons allow teachers to revise the material from the unit and develop it by adding some new activities. Teacher's DVD-ROM The Teacher's DVD-ROM contains: • A Teacher Training Video which shows one of the authors of the course, Herbert Puchta, at work within the kindergarten classroom with children of 3-5 years. It shows how some of the materials and activities can be used within the classroom, applying multi-sensory teaching techniques which focus on the needs and cognitive capabilities of very young learners. • Printable Letters to Parents which can be edited on-screen and inform the parents of their child's progress (See p. 17f. for details).

    • Extra orksheetsare used throughout all lessons. works .eets can e pnnted out and used in class or a home. Some of he worksheets will work better if copied onto thicker paper or card . A list of all the extra worksheets can be found in the appendix of the Teacher's Book (See p. 144f.). Class Audio CD The audio CD in the Teacher's Book is for class use and contains all the songs and stories from Hooray! Starter. It also contains the routine songs, TPR action stories and karaoke versions of the songs. Hand Puppet The Peter the panda hand puppet is used in all lessons and can be used to welcome and praise the children, as well as introduce the vocabulary and demonstrate some of the games and activities. Flashcards and Story Cards The Flashcards can be used to introduce and practise key vocabulary. A number of games and activities using the flashcards are listed later in the introduction section (See p. Sf.), and more specific suggestions are included in the lesson plans for each unit. The Story Cards can be used when listening and retelling the stories from the CD to the children . Each scene appears on an individual card with the script on the back of each. STRUCTURE Unit structure Each of the six main units in the Student's Book consists of six Key Lessons, all focusing on a specific topic. The key lessons from each unit provide a complete overview of a topic. The Teacher's Book also provides two Optional Extra Lessons focusing on revising material from the key lessons. These optional lessons are for teachers who teach more lessons per week, for longer courses, or simply for extra practice of the songs and stories when necessary. The vocabulary and topics are introduced through a song and then practised through songs and stories as well as a range of other games and activities. Lesson 1 introduces the children to the new vocabulary through different games and activities. There is no Pencil and Paper activity in this lesson to give the children time to feel confident with the new vocabulary. et Hooray! STARTER © Helbling Languages Lesson 2 uses a song to practise the target vocabulal) for the unit. The worksheet during the Pencil and Paper part of the lesson then reinforces the vocabulary and the order of the vocabulary in the song. Lesson 3 gives further practice of the target vocabulary through revision of the song as well as more games and activities. There is no Pencil and Paper activity in this lesson to give the children a little extra time to work with the target vocabulary. Lesson 4 introduces a TPR (Total Physical Response) action story to the children, which uses the target vocabulary in short phrases. During the Pencil and Paper section of the lesson, the children are encouraged to put the pictures of the action story in the correct order. Lesson 5 introduces the children to a story in English using the Story cards and the audio CD. Each story reuses the target vocabulary of the unit in a fun way which demonstrates an important life value, such as friendship or sharing. The worksheet activity uses one scene from the story. Lesson 6 completes the unit by using a variety of games to practise the vocabulary from the current and previous units. In addition, during the Pencil and Paper section of the lesson, the worksheet focuses on Thinking Skills, such as focusing attention, recognising items which are the same, or sequencing. Optional Extra Lesson 1 gives the children chance to repeat the action story and, if they are confident with the order, you can mix up the order of the actions. Optional Extra Lesson 2 gives the children a second chance to listen to the story from the unit, and the opportunity to sing the song from the story. The Pencil and Paper activities in the optional extra lessons are craft based and encourage the children to make items to display in the classroom or to take home and share with their family. Lesson structure Each lesson is split into three or four sections of about ten minutes each (although the length of some activities will depend on the number of children in your class). An overall lesson should last between 30-35 minutes. For longer lessons, there is an If there is time activity described at the end of each lesson in the Teacher's Book which you may wish to use. Alternatively, any games and activities which the children have enjoyed from previous lessons can be repeated.
  • 7.
    Lessons start witha Warm-up section. Children sing the Hello song and the Circle song, greet the Peter the panda hand puppet and the rest of the class. This is followed by Carpet Time. During Carpet Time, the children are introduced to new vocabulary, stories and songs as well as playing a variety of games. (It is not necessary for Carpet Time to be done on a carpet, any space where the children can sit together in a circle or semi-circle on the floor can be used.) The Table song is used to help move the children from the floor to the tables and for the Pencil and Paper section of the lesson. During this part of the lesson, the children practise vocabulary and songs while completing worksheets or art and craft activities. (There is no Pencil and Paper activity in Lessons 1 and 3 to give the children a little extra time to work with the new vocabulary.) Each lesson ends with a Rounding Off section which includes the Bye-bye song. ACTIVITIES Each unit contains the following activities: • Songs • Action Stories • Stories • Thinking Skills In order for the children to retain their knowledge of a foreign language, they need to enjoy it and to feel inspired. Knowledge is more firmly fixed in children's memories when it appeals to them. Most information that reaches our brains via various senses is quickly forgotten. The information which is retained is normally information which is most relevant to us. Thus, using stories and songs which children can relate to is a good way to inspire and motivate their interest. The activities in Hoorayl Starter are designed to be compatible with the interests of 3-year-old children and to facilitate their learning. They involve as many of the children's senses as possible so they are engaged at a variety of levels in learning and producing the language. Songs Children generally enjoy songs at kindergarten age. Singing in groups is fun and children learn many songs during the course. The songs in the course have been written specially for each unit. They revise the language presented so teachers can easily see how much of the language students are able to produce and understand. The first time the children listen to a new song, sing along and use gestures or mimes. The children will then gradually join in with you, over a period of time. Once the children seem confident singing a song, don't be afraid to use the karaoke version. You can also adapt some of the songs by changing the words, the order of the verses, and, if appropriate, using the children's names in the song. Action Stories James Asher1 created a method of language teaching based on Total Physical Response (TPR) where teachers are encouraged to teach children to understand and use language using all their senses. Action stories use actions, gestures and mime. This total engagement of the children in the story makes learning an active rather than a passive experience and allows them to retain and experience the language more profoundly. It also encourages them to develop good listening skills. Children hear a phrase then act it out by copying the teacher, thus linking comprehension directly to action and, in so doing, fixing the information firmly in their brains. Action stories use all senses and benefit children's learning process in a number of ways: • Acting out stories allows children to develop skills in following instructions and working with other people. As language and action are closely linked, meaning is learned directly through action. • Acting out stories is fun. Children can relax and enjoy the experience. Also, the group provides security, particularly for those children who take longer to speak. In this case, they can use other children in the group as models for the appropriate language to use. • From the beginning, children learn that they can achieve something in English. This increases their confidence in learning a foreign language. • Development of listening skills is important. However, at this level, children concentrate more on developing their vocabulary and their awareness of the language in general. Listening is concentrated on more specifically in the next level of the course. Action stories allow children to listen to the teacher and thus gain confidence in pronunciation and intonation of key words. The learning goal is achieved when children can act out an action story independently after practising it. They do not need to be able to recite the story or even to be able to reconstruct it freely - it is good enough that they can act it. We suggest that you keep the action story mimes and gestures different from the mimes and gestures used when introducing the vocabulary. One way to do this is to always do the mimes and gestures for the action story standing up, and to do the vocabulary mimes and gestures sitting down in a circle or semi-circle. 1 Asher, J.

    Stories It is wellknown that stories make an essential contribution to the cultural, social and emotional development of a child: The story is a cultural universal; everyone everywhere enjoys stories. The story, then, is not just some casual entertainment; it reflects a basic and powerful form in which we make sense of the world and experience. 2 In the foreign-language classroom, children learn to understand sequences of events via stories. They enjoy good, motivating stories and usually remember them well if they are presented appropriately and interestingly. They can also be used to develop children's enjoyment and appreciation of theatre. Teachers use the Story cards w ith the audio CD or tell the story themselves. (The script is on the back of the cards.) Students can use the character cut-outs from Worksheet 6a+b (Unit 1, Extra Lesson 1) to act out the scenes (See p. 11 for details) In addition, each story has its own cut-out mini storybook for students to colour. (For detailed description of how to work with the mini storybook see p. 11.) The stories in the course are also used to teach children moral values such as helping each other and the importance of friendship . Thinking Skills The Pencil and Paper activity in Lesson 6 of each main unit focuses on Thinking Skills, such as focusing attention, recognising similarities and differences and continuing sequences. These Thinking Skills activities aim to cognitively engage the children in the task as well as develop and improve the skills they will need before and after kindergarten. SOME TEACHING TIPS Working with the flashcards Flashcards visually introduce key words and are an indispensable part of most pre-school courses. Here are some teachings tips as to how to use the flashcards in your lessons. • Remember that when trying to convey the meaning of a new word to children, the word should be shown first, so use the flashcards at the beginning of every lesson to introduce the new vocabulary. • Make sure that children always hear the word a number of times before you start to use it w ithin the lesson. Children need to hear and really understand the pronunciation and intonation of the 2 Egan. K. (1986). Teaching as Story Telling. Chicago. University of Chicago Press. p. 2. e Hooray! STARTER © Helbling Languages word a number of times. Use the CD, your voice, the songs and any other listening devices to really anchor the word in the child's memory. • Get active! Use the children's bodies, ears, and eyes to reinforce the new words and language they are learning. Pictures, pronunciation and motor- processing techniques used together all help the children retain the word and its meaning in an active way. • Repeat the new words using the flashcards. Keep repeating until you feel the children have absorbed the meaning and relevance of a word. You can use different voices to keep their interest as we suggest within the Teacher's Book notes. Below are some games using flash cards we have suggested based on the principles outlined above. Vocabulary games using memory Point to... • Put the flashcards on the floor in front of the children with the picture facing up. • Point to each of the cards and elicit the correct word for each picture. • Say Point to... and name one of the flashcards. Then encourage the children to point to the correct flashcard . • You could also say Touch the... and let the children touch the flashcard you have named. • If the children are likely to hit instead of gently touch the cards, roll some sheets of paper into batons and let the children touch the flashcards with the paper batons. You could also give the paper batons to half the children, and after they have touched a flashcard, all children pass their baton to a child without a baton so everyone gets a turn. Where's the...? • Show the children each of the flashcards and elicit the correct word as you place each card face down on the floor. • Mix up the cards by sliding them around the floor. • Make Peter ask the children for one of the flashcards. • Allow the children to take it in turns to try turning over a card to find the flashcard Peter wants. Yes or no game • Show the children the flashcards and elicit the words. Then show the children that you are mixing the cards in your hands so neither you nor the children know the order of the cards. • Take one of the flashcards and hold it above your head so that the children can see which flashcard you are holding but you can't.
  • 9.
    • With yourfree hand, point to the flashcard and name one of the possible flashcard items. Encourage the children to say Yes. if you guessed correctly and No, sorry. if not. • If the answer was No, sorry., keep guessing until the children say Yes. • Repeat this with some of the other flashcards. Hold it up • Give the flashcards out to some of the children. • Say Hold up (green). and encourage the child holding the appropriate flashcard to hold it in the air. • Repeat a couple of times using different words and then change the children holding the flashcards so different children get a chance to play. Vocabulary games for speaking Uncover the card • Cover a flashcard with a piece of card (or another flashcard). • Gradually move the piece of card up/down or across the flashcard to show some of the picture on the card. • Encourage the children to guess which flashcard is hidden as it is being revealed. Flash the flashcard • Show the children the flashcards and elicit the correct words. • Show the children that you are mixing the flashcards in your hands so neither you nor the children know the order of the cards. • Hold the flash cards so you can see the first card but the children can't. Quickly rotate or fan the cards so the children get a quick look at the first flashcard and say What is it? • Encourage the children to name the flashcard they think they can see. • Gradually reduce the speed that you rotate or fan the flashcard until the children can correctly name the card. What's missing? • Elicit the vocabulary for the flashcards you are using and then put all the cards on the floor face down so the picture can't be seen. • Mix the cards up and then turn them over one at a time. Elicit the name of the picture on the card until only one card remains face down. • Encourage the children to name the card which is missing (and is face down). Ask What's missing?, then turn the card over to check if the children were correct. • If the children are interested, play the game again and leave a different card face down. Find the flashcard • Choose a confident child from the class and ask him or her to choose a flashcard then stand near you. Ask this child to close his or her eyes and give him or her Peter to hold. • Tell the other children to be quiet and show them that you are hiding the flashcard, for example under a cushion, in a toy box, on the bookcase, etc. • Ask the child who is holding Peter to open his or her eyes and ask the child where he or she thinks the flashcard is. • Make it clear to the other children that they are not to say where the flashcard is hidden. • Encourage the child holding Peter to walk around the classroom to find the hidden flashcard. Keep saying the name of the picture on the flashcard as the child moves around. • As the child gets closer to the flashcard, say the word from the flashcard more loudly and show that they are correct (for example, nod your head). As the child gets further away, say it more quietly and show that they are wrong (for example, shake your head). • Once the child has found the card, the child should return to the circle with Peter and the flashcard and another child can hold Peter.

    Working with themini flashcards Note: To make the mini flashcards last longer, you could print them onto card or thick paper before the children colour them, or you could laminate the cards after the children have coloured them , On the Teacher's DVD-ROM there are sets of mini flashcards for each main unit of Hooray! Starter, If you have extra time available, the children can colour and make the mini flashcards during the lesson, or you can colour and make them yourself. The mini flashcards can be used to play some of the games in the lessons, for example Bingo!, Snap! and Musical chairs, or, if parents want to use them with their children, extra copies could be made to take home. Bingo! • Put the teacher's flashcards face down on the floor in front of Peter (everyone must be using the same vocabulary set). • Help the children to move so that they have a space in front of them, Help them to choose some of their mini flashcards and put them on the floor with the picture facing up. • Make Peter turn over one of the flashcards from his set, and show and name the flashcard for the children, Then encourage the children to turn over the mini flashcard with the same picture so the picture can't be seen. • Repeat this until some of the children have turned over all of their mini flashcards and encourage them to shout Bingo! Peter can then kiss, hug or high-five with the children who have 'Bingo', • If the children are still interested, then turn all the cards back over and repeat the activity, this time calling the names of the flashcards a little quicker, Snap! • Help the children to move so that they have a space in front of them, Help them to choose some of their mini flashcards and put them on the floor with the picture facing up. • Hold the teacher's flashcards in a fan. Make Peter select one of the cards and hold it so the children can't see which card has been chosen. • Encourage the children to choose one of their mini flashcards and hold it up in the air so you can see which card they have selected, • Make Peter show the card which he selected and name the card for the children. • Make Peter hug, kiss or high-five the children who are holding up the same card and say Snap! • Put all the cards back to the starting position and repeat the activity with Peter and the children selecting a different flashcard, e Hooray! STARTER © Helbling Languages Musical chairs • Put chairs, cushions or laminated mini flashcards in a place where the children can easily walk around (and sit on) them. If you are using chairs or cushions, a mini flashcard should be clearly attached to each chair or cushion, • Play some music for the children to move around to, • Stop the music and say Sit down. and encourage the children to sit down on the nearest seat that is available. • Randomly select one of the teacher's flashcards and name the picture on the flashcard. • All the children sitting on a chair with that mini flashcard are 'out'. Ask these children to stand near you for the next round and then allow them to join back in the game the round after. • Play the music again and allow the remaining children to move around the chairs and repeat the activity, If you are keeping the children's mini flashcards in the classroom, you could put them in envelopes or boxes with the children's name so they are easy to find . Working with the hand puppet The Peter the panda hand puppet performs a variety of functions in the classroom . It can be used to help classroom management by: • demonstrating activities to the children • quietening the class down • choosing children to take part in activities • comforting children who are upset by giving them a hug or a kiss Peter can also help with using and practising English by: • making mistakes for the children to correct • modelling language for the children to copy or repeat • getting embarrassed and asking the chi ldren to help him with their English • giving more opportunities for using English for example saying Hello. and Bye-bye., waking Peter up, or guessing flashcards that Peter is thinking of The following methodology tips make the use of Peter particularly effective in the lesson: • Use a distinctive voice for Peter by changing your voice slightly. You can also copy the voice of Peter in the stories. This helps to give Peter his own identity in the children's perception, i.e. it makes him seem as real as possible. • Only make Peter look like he is speaking when he is speaking. When you are speaking as yourself Peter should not move, This is an important aid to comprehension for the children.
  • 11.
    • When childrenspeak to Peter in their first language (L1) he repeats the request in English or doesn't understand them. Peter should never be used in an L1 lesson because he serves as an important psychological anchor for foreign language use. Working with the Student's Book The Student's Book is used during the Pencil and Paper section. In order for you to use the worksheets in the Student's Book effectively we suggest the following: • If possible, keep the Student's Books in the classroom, or in the kindergarten. This prevents the children from colouring them at home and ensures that you always have the sheets you need for the lesson. • Only hand out the Student's Book when it is needed during the Pencil and Paper section of the lesson. Alternatively, you can tear out the appropriate page and give this to the children. • At the end of the Pencil and Paper section, all worksheets should be collected. These can then be stored in a folder for the children or displayed on the walls in the classroom. • Parents can be invited to look at their child's book or folder at the end of the lessons, or you can send the worksheets for a unit home at the end of the unit Working with the Story cards The Story cards are used to tell the story with the audio CD. While showing the children the Story cards you can either play the story from the audio CD or you can read the script for the story from the back of each card. In order for you to use the Story cards effectively we suggest the following: • Check the order of the Story cards before the lesson, to make sure they are in the correct order. • Only show the children one Story card at a time while you are telling the story and point to characters and items in the picture while the children listen to the story. • You might find it easiest to have the cards in a pile with the pictures face down and the first card on the top of the pile. In this way, you can pick up the top card from the pile to show the children and you can see the script on the back of the card. • If you are reading the script on the back of the Story cards, try to use a different voice for each character so the children know which character is talking. On the Teacher's DVD-ROM there are character cut-outs that can be used to play the characters or act out parts of the stories (Worksheet 6a+b). Working with the mini storybooks On the Teacher's DVD-ROM, there are worksheets for mini storybooks for each story presented in Hooray! Starter. If there is time, children get to choose and colour one picture from the story during the Pencil and Paper section of Lesson 5. The children can then take their storybook home and look at the story with their parents, or even describe the events from the story using their first language. How to make the mini storybook 1) Print the two worksheets onto one A4 page (front and back). Or print the two sheets separately and stick them together. 2) Cut around the story on the worksheets. 3) Fold the sheet in half horizontally. 4) Fold the sheet in half vertically. 5) Staple or use sticky tape tv ® along the fold on the left hand side of the book to fix it 6) Cut along the fold at the top.

    HOW YOUNG LEARNERSLEARN Methodology Children of this age are already in the process of learning their first language (L1) so they are already equipped with basic skills to learn a second language. Second language learning allows them to use these skills as well as developing others. Understanding without words Before young learners start to use words, they decode meaning from intonation, mime, gesture and overall context. This is of great value when learning a foreign language as these skills can be applied to the new language and children can begin to understand using a process they are already familiar with. This develops confidence and a sense of achievement. Using limited words Young learners are encouraged to express themselves as much as they can within their second language, however, as their grasp of the language is limited, they will often resort to playing and/or creating new words within it, or transferring what they have learnt from other contexts. They may, for example, use words from their native language but say them with an English accent. These sorts of strategies give the teacher an important insight into how the child is progressing with second language acquisition. Learning indirectly At this age, grammar, punctuation or other structural aspects of language are not key to the learning process. Children of this age love stories, the sound of new words and songs that they can sing along to and do the actions to. They like games where they are challenged to think and guess and, in so doing, use structures they have learnt. They also enjoy copying movements from a story or imitating the voices of the characters. The way they pronounce a word is often almost identical to the model they have heard on the CD. By doing this, children are learning new skills and experiencing language as a means of communicating. Interacting and speaking Most young learners have a natural need to communicate. Using this as a starting point, both teachers and parents can help, improve and stimulate their child in the second language by interacting as much as possible in it and helping them to read, listen and talk when appropriate. Sometimes you may just want them to listen rather than communicate so the teacher needs to establish a good balance of speaking and listening within the classroom . e Hooray! STARTER © Helbling Languages Holistic language learning We use language to understand others and to make ourselves understood. Most adult learners want to understand how a second language works and what rules it follows, for example, how verbs are formed and used. They use this cognitive knowledge to learn systematically. Children, however, learn in a much more holistic way. Listening comprehension is a fundamental part of this process. Learners speculate about what they hear and are helped in their comprehension by mime, gesture and visual prompts like photos and pictures. Likewise, young learners will gradually start to understand the instruction 'Stand up!' because the teacher actually stands up each time the phrase is used. By doing this, the children interpret the meaning visually, they imitate and so learn its meaning and sound through action and repetition . This repetition allows the children to fix both meaning and sound into their long-term memory. For successful learning to take place, children also need to feel relaxed and at ease within the classroom. Positive feedback and praise are fundamental in encouraging them to experiment and push back the boundaries of the language in so far as they feel able. Patience is also necessary for when they have misunderstood or need more time to understand and absorb relevant language or words. Content is also of crucial importance and needs to be meaningful and interesting. Songs and stories encourage children to connect with the second language at a basic sensory level via movement and sound. Their ability to understand, for example, a story in the second language, is a good way to increase self-esteem and confidence in the second language and heightens their motivation to learn. Speaking skills are also important to develop. Songs allow children to practise pronunciation and intonation and repeat important words and expressions in fun ways that fix them in their memories. Stories help children memorise important expressions and improve their understanding of connections. Eventually, they are confident enough to act out simple utterances in communicative contexts.

    THE SMILE APPROACH® Whileresearching and writing for young learners, we have formalised a set of principles with a handy acronym to help ourselves and teachers appreciate the key basic principles for teaching in a systematic and clear way. Our approach is called The SMILE Approach® and you can find a breakdown of its main points below with how they affect and inform our writing and your teaching. S M L E Skill-oriented learning The development of second language skills does not take place independently of general cognitive development. When children try to understand the meaning of a sentence, they draw on skills that they also use for solving problems, establishing relationships, drawing conclusions etc. Because of this, it makes sense to integrate second language learning into the curriculum as early as possible. As we have said, children of this age learn holistically so integrating second language learning into the curriculum encourages the development not only of the child's general intellectual skills but also of his or her linguistic ones. S M I L E 4Multi-sensory learner motivation You need only watch children playing to understand how important learning through the senses is at this age. Hooray! Let's play! aims to involve as many senses as possible during the language-learning process. This is based on the following principles: • When pupils learn, they do so through their senses: they learn what they see, hear and do. • Our 'hearing' sense is located on the so-called left side of the brain. Processing information kinaesthetically - by concrete activity - is closely connected to the right side of the brain. The visual reception of information can be controlled by either the left or the right side of the brain. • The better the senses are integrated at the presentation of information stage, the better children will receive the information (multisensory reception). • Receiving and processing information activates the visual, auditory and kinaesthetic neurological systems. During the processes of thinking and remembering, the brain's multisensory activation heightens students' ability to pay attention, concentrate and store linguistic information in their long-term memory. • The fact that most children have different learning styles and a preference for one sensory channel over another (and therefore weaknesses in one or two of the other sensory channels) underlines the importance of a teaching methodology that takes into account the differing needs of different learners and one which strikes a balance between visual, auditory and kinaesthetic presentation, processing and practice. • Children love stories. When presented in an appropriate multi-sensory way, these stories remain in the memory. Words, parts of sentences and sentences can thus be fixed in the long-term memory. S M L E 4Intelligence-building activities 'Intelligence' is a term that covers a range of different human abilities all independent of one another. Researchers into intelligence speak of a multiplicity of 'intelligences' . Howard Gardner claims that there are seven different areas of intelligence, i.e. 'multiple intelligences' 3 Modern research into intelligence indicates that intelligence is not totally dependent on what we are born with . Intelligence is also quite clearly influenced by how we learn. Simply put, intelligence can be learned. Learning a second language early on develops and stimulates a child's intelligence in a number of ways. All the intelligences outlined by Howard Gardner are brought into play and used by the SMILE approach: Area of Activation in Hooray! Let's intelligence play! by: Linguistic Promoting the enjoyment of intelligence playing with language. Offering materials for learning vocabulary and phrases. Musical Developing the skill of intelligence differentiating tunes and rhythm through songs.

Developing fine motor skills through various types of activities: stickers, drawing, colouring and craftwork. Visuospatial Improving visuospatial intelligence perception through picture searches (discovery pictures). Developing the visual memory through picture puzzles. Mathematical- Improving mathematical-logical logical intelligence Intrapersonal intelligence 5 M intelligence through exercises where students sort and match. Encouraging logical perception through sequences and activities requiring putting things in order. Developing the ability to reflect as a basis for one's own speaking. L E 4Long-term memory storage through music, movement, rhythm and rhyme Many adults can remember and retell the rhymes and songs they learned in childhood easily and rhythmically. Often the reason is because they have been learnt using actions and movement. The ability to grasp and retell a story using the rhythmic structuring of the words is an indication of the level of language development of a child. The main function of this rhythmic differentiation ability is that it combines perception and understanding and so is important for remembering words, writing and recognising sentence patterns. 5 M L E 4Exciting stories and games When children identify with what has been learned, they remember it. They remember phrases, parts of sentences and often whole sentences (so-called chunks of language). Good foreign-language learners can repeatedly transfer such chunks of language to other contexts and so practise and consolidate the foreign language through play. e Hooray! STARTER © Helbling Languages HOW TO MANAGE YOUR CLASS Children of this age group have naturally got a short attention span, are restless and get excited very easily. We believe that it is better to try and divert their energy towards activities rather than try to control it or ask them to be silent or still. What does the teacher do? The English teacher has a number of different tasks: • managing and focusing the attention of the learners • giving linguistic input with the aid of interactive materials and checking this has been understood • establishing a routine in the classroom • encouraging the children to speak in the foreign language • using the first language in small amounts • managing the seating in the classroom to suit the activity. Managing and focusing attention Some tools you can use to manage their attention and focus their attention during the lesson are: • Get the children used to hearing you speaking in English. • Follow a similar pattern of activities each lesson and mark changes in the lesson using the routines. • Use the Calm down song when the children are becoming too energetic as a signal that everyone needs to calm down (See p. 17). • Plan for quiet periods in your lessons, for example Pencil and Paper time, to give the children the chance to work independently and for you to give attention to individuals. • Alternate between activities with lots of movement and very little movement. Movement and making noise tends to excite children of this age. If you allow too much movement and noise, a class of kindergarten children can quickly get overexcited and difficult to control. By following a loud or energetic activity with a quieter activity, you can calm the children down a little and stop them from becoming too excited. • Be flexible, occasionally it is better to go with distractions and interruptions and try to use them in the lesson rather than trying to make the children ignore them. -

    Checking understanding We can'tunderstand everything that we hear in a foreign language. We often work out the meaning from the context. A good teacher will try to help children understand as much as possible by using the children's sensory channels (auditory, visual and motor). In order to check comprehension, many teachers use the following methods which are slightly counter- productive: • Repeatedly translating individual words. This makes children feel that they can only understand when they know every single word. This is not necessary as when you teach action stories, you teach the whole phrase rather than individual words. Translating each word hinders comprehenshion . There are some circumstances where the teacher may need to use the child's L1 to explain a phrase. If, for example, a child displays aggressive or frustrated behaviour because they can't understand, it would benefit the child to give the L1 equivalent as well as showing the required action again. • Asking the question Do you understand? is often not helpful. Children will say Yes. rather than explaining. It is better to watch how the children behave. This will enable you to determine if you need to help them with their comprehension or not. • Teachers often give an instruction in English then translate it straight into the students' native language. This may make children lazy as they realise that each instruction is also given in their first language so they stop listening. It is better for the teacher to speak in short sentences, give the children time to think, then repeat the instructions slowly using mimes, gestures, pictures or demonstrations if necessary. Teacher talk and classroom language Teaching in kindergarten is mainly about commu- nication. It is required, therefore, that the children understand their teacher when performing activities in English . That is why vocabulary is acquired in a playful way at the beginning of every unit and should be reinforced with facial expressions, gesture, intonation and visual aids such as the Story cards and flashcards. The children can thus tryout important strategies for successful contact with the foreign language. It is important to expose the children to as much English as possible during their English lessons. Research indicates that children of this age can acquire a foreign language and good levels of pronunciation by a natural exposure to the foreign language. However, for this to be successful the children need as much exposure to the foreign language as possible. Therefore, we recommend that you try to speak as much English as possible during the lesson, and try to conduct the lesson as much as possible in only English. It is especially important that classroom language, the everyday instructions and directions that you use to keep the children on task and focused is in English as this w ill give the children the most natural exposure to English. The teacher can assume that the children are able to decode new language when it is presented with gestures and visual clues. Therefore, from a very early stage of the foreign language lesson, simple instructions such as Sit down. and Colour the plane blue. can be given only in English. Using L1 might be helpful when something needs to be explained quickly in order to not disturb the continuity of an activity or when you want to give some pre-information for the activities. However, avoid using translations unless they are necessary. Essential classroom language is clearly indicated in the lesson notes throughout the course and some useful examples of classroom language are listed below. Questions Where's the.. .? What's this? What are these? Who's this? How many .. ? What c%ur? Praise Well done! Very good! Great! Excellent! Yes, that's right! Activity instructions Point to... Show me... Look! Listen. Touch. Let's sing.

    Using English nameswithin the classroom Many teachers give their students English names when working in the classroom. Two reasons given for this are: • children like to assume the identity of someone else • when the teacher says, for example, Greta, sit down please. most of the sentence is in English, the child's name isn't, so it makes sense to change it too. We think it is better to retain the child's own name in the classroom for the following reasons: • The children - and sometimes the teacher - keep forgetting the English names of their classmates. This leads to confusion about who is meant to be following the instructions that are given. • If children are communicating in the foreign language, this means that they are stating their own feelings, state of health, preferences, etc. If they are using a different name, they are using this as their identity. For example, if the teacher asks Ben (who is actually called Martin) to name his favourite colour, Ben talks about Ben. Martin's identity is not present. • If Martin meets another child in the holidays and this child can only communicate in English, if he is asked his name, he will answer Ben and not Martin. How to arrange seating in the classroom Although it is unrealistic to expect the tables in the classroom to be moved for short periods of teaching, the following points should be considered: • It is easiest to focus and keep children's attention when they can see you clearly and you can see each of them. For this reason, most games and activities should be played with the children sat on chairs or on the floor in a circle or semi-circle. • When doing Pencil and Paper activities, the children should be sat on chairs at a table, but the chairs and tables should be arranged in such a way that the children have enough room in their places to be able to move. • All children should have a clear view of you and any materials you are showing or demonstrating at any stage of the lesson. e Hooray! STARTER © Helbling Languages Tips for teaching very young learners This most important tip we can give for teaching very young learners is be flexible and enjoy it! The lesson plans provided in the Teacher's Book are guidelines only. You know your class and can make the best decisions about what will work for you and your class in your English classroom area. Don't be afraid to try new games and activities in your classroom, but constantly listen, watch and react to the children in your class during everything you do. Some suggestions to help you teach your young learners successfully: • Encourage the children to join in with the actions for the stories and songs. Children will learn the actions quickly and this can give them the confidence to join in with the English lessons even though they might not feel confident enough to speak. Actions can also prompt the children and help them remember words and phrases they have produced in previous lessons. • Plan for all activities to be short but allow activities and games to be repeated as long as the children are happy to continue doing them. • Remember to reuse games and activities the children particularly enjoyed in later lessons. • If the children don't react well to an activity, just stop and move on to something new. Try it again later in another lesson perhaps with different vocabulary or a different topic. • Be aware of the children's energy levels depending on the time of the day/the day of the week/the weather. Try to structure your lesson to allow for this. If they arrive at the lesson excited, you can start with a quiet activity to calm them down, or if they have low energy you can do something energetic to wake them up. • Don't think that you have to do all the activities in the Teacher's Book. Choose the activities that you think your children will react best to. • Experiment with the materials and let the children guide you in adapting the games and activities. • Listen to the children and make them feel that you value their opinions. • Allow the children to produce English words or phrases at their own speed. Some children take longer than others but most will want to produce when they are having fun and feel confident enough. • Encourage the children's natural enjoyment of songs, stories and characters and build on this enjoyment in your lessons. • Have fun and enjoy the lessons yourself. Children can tell when you are having fun and will want to have fun with you .

    OVERVIEW OF ROUTINES Childrenof this age group work better w ithin a clear structure where they know what to expect and what is expected of them . Therefore, it is important to set up clear routines and indicators at the start of the course for the children to follow through all of their English lessons. In Hooray! Starter each stage of the lesson can be introduced using a song which is on the audio CD. The children are not expected to learn these songs themselves, but you might find that they join in singing them as the course progresses. Hello routine This marks the start of each lesson for the children. Use the Peter the panda hand puppet to greet the children and encourage them to wave and say hello back. Hello song Hello, hello, It's nice to see you. Hello, hello, It's nice to see you. Bye-bye routine This marks the end of each lesson for the children. The Peter hand puppet should say bye-bye to each child as they leave the English lesson. Bye-bye song Bye-bye, bye-bye, It's time to go. Bye-bye, bye-bye, It's time to go. Bye-bye! Transition routines These are to help the transition from one area of the classroom to another in a calm and organised manner. Encourage the children to join hands during the song and then lead them in a snake to the new area of the classroom. Circle song Come with me, Come with me, Make a circle. Come with me, Come with me, One, two, three. Table song Come with me, Come with me, Sit at a table, One, two, three. Story routine This tells the children that the next activity is listening to a story. As you sing the song, make appropriate actions and encourage the children to sit down quietly ready to listen. Story song It's time for a story <mime opening a book> Listen and look. <hold hand to ear and point to your eye> It's time for a story <mime opening a book> Listen and look. <hold hand to ear and point to your eye> Tidying up routine/Cleaning up routine (AmE) This marks the end of a Pencil and Paper activity and can be used to encourage the children to help you tidy up before you move on to the next activity. Sing the Tidy up song / Clean up song (AmEJ and start to tidy up while encouraging the children to help you. Tidy up song / Clean up song (AmE) Let's help each other And tidy up / clean up (AmEJ. Let's help each other And tidy up / clean up (AmEJ. Calm down routine This can be used any time the children get overexcited and need to be calmed down. As you sing the song get quieter, put your fingers on your lips and encourage the children to sit down quietly with you. You might need to sing the song more than once to get the class to calm down completely. Calm down song Let's be quiet, Let's calm down. Let's be quiet, Let's calm down. HOW PARENTS CAN HELP Parents of young children generally have a positive attitude towards learning a foreign language and will want to actively support their children's development. You should encourage this involvement by keeping the parents fully informed about what is happening in the language lessons. If appropriate, you could also invite parents to visit their child's lesson to watch them perform the action stories. If parents have time and are willing to try and speak in English, they could even help out with some of the art and craft activities. The Teacher's DVD-ROM includes letters that you can edit and send home to the parents at the beginning or at the end of each unit. These not only inform the parents about the topic and materials their children will be covering or have covered in class, but also include the lyrics for the songs in each unit and some information about how children learn a foreign language.

    If parents wantto speak to you about their child's learning, it is recommended that the following points are made: • You want the child's early experiences of learning a foreign language to be positive ones so they gain confidence and lose their shyness about expressing themselves in a foreign language. • Parents should not expect their children to speak at the beginning. Children need to learn to understand first and then respond using simple language. • Using Hoorayl Starter will develop a variety of the children's skills - intellectual, social, emotional and motor. • Learning a foreign language at an early age encourages an open-minded attitude towards other cultures. • It is very important to praise children for their progress in learning. • If children want to show you what they can do, show interest. Errors are a sign of progress in learning. e Hooray! STARTER © Helbling Languages • Parents should encourage their children to learn the foreign language holistically and not translate it. They may be able to understand the meaning of the sentences and phrases but not understand them in their first language. This is okay. It is better not to translate. • Parents should not be disappointed if their child cannot say something that they have learned. • Parents can help their children to learn English with Hooray! Starter in the following ways: - Songs can be listened to and revised using the Songs Audio CD in the Student's Book. - Parents can play 'at school' with their children taking the role of the pupil. Children take great pleasure in teaching their parents a foreign language. - Parents can look at the worksheets and art and craft objects with the children and talk to them in their first language about what they did.
