So you might think that my top five summer lessons would be:
- Summer ClothesΒ – featuring the eternally popular Baby Money.
- Summer SportsΒ – great for an after Summer review with “What did you do in the Summer?”
- Under the SeaΒ – check out the Nemo Game!
- Pirates ColoursΒ – Ooo arrrr!
- Mr Octopus – (try the intro of this animation on a projector with younger kids, up to about 6, they just go crazy when the waves start to move. Β I have no idea why – but give it a try!)
.
However ….. those of you who know Genki English will know the basically MBA level psychology behind everything we do ( I can …, Β ending on a positive note, Β Superhero poses to get genki, etc.) Β so ….. my real top three lessons for Summer are ….
- Let’s build a snowmanΒ – even more popular this year thanks to Frozen!
- Winter SportsΒ – super cool stuff.
- The Ice Cream SongΒ – speaks for itself I think. π
.
The reason?
It’s simple.
If you want to ace a test, Β you picture yourself with the final successful result paper.
If you want to speak fluent English, Β you picture yourself speaking fluently toΒ Scarlett Johansson (even if it’s only on your phone π )
And if you want to cool down?
Spend all day looking at pictures of snowmen, winter scenes and ice creamΒ – an instant, psychological drop in temperature!
Remember what the Good Cat says – Β just chill!
Be genki,
Richard
