🙌 Little Stars Plus 3: Friendly Moves
The third lesson of Little Stars Plus, a Pre-A1 English course for children aged 4 to 6. After the Hello Routine, Pip the puppet shows four friendly moves: “Wave!”, “High five!”, “Hug!” and “Shake hands!” — always the move first, then the word. In an echo circle the children copy each move, then listen without seeing it and show they understand by doing it. In the last game one child chooses a greeting, and everybody walks, stops and greets a friend with that move. Hugs are always optional: children hug themselves or a teddy, never each other. With teacher tips, ideas for online lessons, a 30-minute version and a Star Check picture game for home.
