Otra forma muy efectiva de repasar vocabulario es a través del movimiento (TPR). Aquí os dejo algunos ejemplos:
Point to... (the door, window, floor, table, chair, pencil, eraser, schoolbag, markers, glue, scissors...).
Touch your... + parts of the body (nose, eyes, ears, head, hair, mouth, shoulder, knees,toes, back, tummy, arms, hands, legs, feet, toes).
"Simon says" (Simón dice...) + actions (sit down, stand up, run , jump, swim, run, tiptoe, turn around, fly...).

ACT OUT! The teacher can use another vegetable and act out the story with children. Each child will have a flashcard, when any help is needed, the teacher will ask "Can you help me?". The student will come out and help to pull the vegetable up. It is important to stress the importance on the key phrases of the story.
