๐ Little Stars Plus 17: The Body Obstacle Course
Lesson 17 of Little Stars Plus, a Pre-A1 English course for children aged 4 to 6, is a big games day. The teacher builds an obstacle course with a tunnel, hoops and Pipโs cone, and walks it slowly with a call at each station: โCrawl!โ, โJump!โ, โTouch your head!โ and, at the finish, the cheer โI can do it!โ. Then every child runs the course in turn while the others call the stations and do the moves on the spot, with surprise calls at the cone and a โTeacher saysโ round where nobody is ever out. A calm shake-out ends the games. It is never a race, and every station has a safe home version for online lessons. With teacher tips, a 30-minute version and a Star Check picture game for home.
