Training guide
4. Storytelling, songs, games and roleplay

Check your answers with other teachers.
Plan your own song activity Think about what you are teaching next week and with the teachers in your TGM think of a song, poem or rhyme that could support learning. Think about how you can use it and anything you might need to prepare before the lesson. |
