Introduction
First time: Since this is the first lesson, we take some time to introduce the teachers: their names, countries of origin, and the languages they speak. We say: My name is.../I am from.../I can speak... If the children are already sitting calmly, we begin immediately with our introductions. If not, we form a large circle by holding hands and go into a smaller circle all together (we repeat this a few times). Then we sit down in the circle and introduce ourselves. The children also introduce themselves by repeating “My name is…” while we clap and tap our thighs in rhythm, going around the circle.
