Game 1: Make a phone call
Simulate the scene of making a phone call. Through language communication with teachers, children's oral English will become more complete and standardized. During the game, the teacher should consciously guide the baby to use polite language. Such as "hello", "please wait a moment", "goodbye" and so on.
Game 2: Look at the card
Prepare several cards of various characters, objects or scenes. Ask children to tell stories according to the combination of different cards.

So as to encourage children to learn the methods and skills of expression.

Game 4: Word conjunction?
The teacher puts forward a word and then asks the children to say the words connected with it. The more they talk, the better. For example, children can associate the word "wind" with words such as blowing, strong wind, warm wind, typhoon, windmill and fan. In this way, children can not only expand their vocabulary, but also improve the accuracy and agility of thinking.
Game 5: Imitation Show
Teachers let children watch suitable TV programs, such as children's dramas and puppet shows. The teacher said, "The baby will be the master."

Let children gain the ability to feel, understand, express and use language while gaining life experience, and get the common development of emotion, cognition, thinking and personality while gaining language development.
