TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE ACTIVITY

In a TPR activity the children listen and d the movements accordingly. The 

sentences are repeated several times. In the beginning is important to maintain 

the order. The children learn vocabulary using mimes, gestures and drawings on 

the board. Doing the movements themselves is an important way of memorize. 

Soon the children do the movements on their own and in a different order. 

We can play a record to identify the order of the sentences that we have worked 

with them. Use pictures in the book to put the numbers of the sequence is a 

good idea to support the children with the task. Comparing the results all 

together is positive feedback. 

Here we can see how a teacher engages a group of very young learners by 

using an action story-.
