Picture cards and template cards are great tools for kinesthetic memory activities. Younger children can learn and recall more vocabulary if a word is associated with a movement. For example, it is a good idea to have a set of common verbs pictoriallydepicted on cards large enough for the entire class to see. For example, drink, see, write, run, or sleep. A movement can be decided by the teacher or negotiated by the class that will represent that word. After the word has been taught, practiced and learnt along with the movement, the students should be able to produce the word from either the picture or the movement. This is a great way of helping the students to remember the word. |
