Ideas for Use
Have a student who always rushes through work? Or, perhaps, a student who slows lessons down by moving way too slowly? This Spanish Colors and Numbers Snails download is a perfect excuse to slow down the rushing student’s work to a snail’s pace, which encourages concentration and attention to detail, while allowing the cautious student a chance to complete a lesson at his or her own pace–criticism free!
And, don’t forget to get moving! If you can’t find an actual snail, ask kids to copy the snails in a video. This gives kids a chance to get some energy out while learning how to adjust energy and speed levels. After this lesson, kids may be ready to hear: «¡más despacio! Como un caracol . . .» (More slowly, like a snail . . .) At the very least, it’s worth a shot!
