I'm living in Spain and teaching a 40-minute English class to two 3-year-old boys once a week. One of them is what you would call a difficult child (only wants to do what he wants to do, tells me when we will be done with certain actitivies, etc.). The other somestimes doesn't understand that I'm trying to teach them English, or that I speak another language, and tells me that I "speak bad" (lol).
I've having major issues trying to figure out activities for them. I know that I won't be able to do serious English lessons, and especially for 40 minutes. They lose their interest really fast and don't like coloring. They like playing with play-doh, but I can never get them to make certain things (eg. I say "make a blue cat" and they don't listen and make whatever they want out of whatever color they want). They also get bored when I read them storybooks, and translate them into Spanish, and point out what certain things in the pictures are called.
Any suggestions??? I'm dying!! Thanks!!
