Opted skill: Listening skill(s)
Before we start off with the activities, we need to know what the word listening means. Harmer (2001, p.228) viewed listening as a fundamental language skill. “It provides the perfect opportunity to hear voices other than the teacher’s, enable students to acquire good speaking habits as a result of the spoken English they absorb, and helps to improve their own pronunciation”.
Learning of foreign language rely on four basic skills which can be classified into receptive and productive skills. Listening and reading comes under receptive whereas writing and speaking comes under productive. In language learning, out of the four skills, listening stands to be as one of the most important skill. It is also accounted as a Cinderella skill. Environment plays

Number/ Word Bingo:
Playing bingo requires students to listen carefully. You can use either numbers or words that they have been learning. Creating the bingo sheets and words takes a bit of time but once done can be used with other classes, time and time again.
8. Be the boss:
Allow your child to be the boss while you play together for a set amount of time. Your child will tell you what to play and how to play. This is excellent to help you understand how your child views your parenting instruction, and it gives you an opportunity to model listening for your child.
9. Listen and act:
Put some animal toys in front of the child. Narrate some basic instructions about animal characters and what they are doing. Have your child listen and move the characters along to the story. 10. Put in order:
Write alphabets on flashcards and put them on the floor. Speak a word and then spell it like “Tap” “T” “A” “P”. Encourage the child to listen carefully and put the cards in order as you speak.
11. Show me the color game:
Make a dice shaped box and color each side with a different color. Now give it to the child and say where’s the red color? And the child will have to show it up like here it
At a center, place a circle of construction paper (to represent the drum in a marching band) and some real or play pennies. Have children take turns putting 4 pennies on the drum while counting to 4 aloud.
Many kids learn through board games such as operation, and Sorry, and Candy Land as these are good at counting, colors, and having good motor skills so you don't set off the buzzer.
I went home and I asked my children to play one of the games and they liked it. The game had the students engaged because I was engaged when I was playing and so were my kids. The interesting part is that the game is that it could be challenging but that will power of passing to the next level make you keep going. The game is also fun to play and you learn at the same time. Math being a concept that many children hate because of misconception this game can make them change their mind about math concepts. It also can be great for children to interact with one another as they help each other out when they get stuck in a particular section. This activity was so fun and interesting, that I am sure that many children will like it as
For an example I give a child a book to look at, sit with her and read the words with her. I let her say the word first and if she doesn’t know it I will discuss it, let her say it, talk about it and then move onto the next. Then maybe a few days later sit with the same book and again encourage her to say the words, if she get stuck on the same words again then remind her how we discussed it before.
The artifact I have chosen to attach to the discussion board was CE230 unit nine project. What I learned based on that assignment was how to develop creative activities for young children from the age of five and seven. After completing the different activities with the students in this project we had to show what were the student’s objective and what leaning experience where you trying to achieve and was it accomplished with this activity. Example after completing the activity you would indicated if the student was able to follow directions. You would observe if the child was able to correctly solve the problems and it the students showed interest in the game. I recalled when I was in grade school we played Math Bingo it was fun and educational.
To play, fill a box with some favourite and unfamiliar objects. Talk to the children about what they like/dislike about each one and why they might be feeling like that. You could also share stories with children on emotions and get some feedback from the
The best way to get a point across to a child is by telling a story. Get a map or globe and demonstrate the earth rotating around the sun explaining why the sun sets late in the day or rises or early in the morning. This would also become
Put all the blocks on the table or ground. Invite the students over. I will tell them that they will be building a house for a Dog today. Ask them what they think they will be using to build the house. Tell them that they will be using play dough and blocks. Clarify that pretend is not real. We can pretend to cook at the play kitchen or pretend to be a dog. Explain that mice cannot really build a house with blocks and clay. This is just pretending and the Dog they are using in their activity is pretend only. Ask the children what they like to pretend to be or do when they grow up.
One activity you can do with children involves having them make flowers. For this activity, children will need to make a stem for the flower, the middle part of the flower and pedals. On the middle part of the flower you can write an ending that a couple of words share like –ug. On the pedals, children can write the different words that end with –ug like bug, rug, mug, hug, etc. Another fun thing you can do involves using the plastic eggs that are left after Easter. The
The activity I chose to do was to see if he could identify a set of flashcards that had colors and shapes on them. I wanted to see if the child could say both what the color was and also say the shape that was associated with the color. I was trying to test not only his language abilities, but his ability to differentiate between the color and the shape. When I tried to administer the activity he kind of just looked at me and continued to play with his toys or something else. I finally got him to actually engage in the activity afterwards, which was great, but he still wasn’t fully engaged with it. Tony Brown knew most of the colors and spoke them, but not completely clear. After a while I could eventually make out the word he was trying to say. He also knew the shapes, but when he saw a circle he said “ball”, or he just said the corresponding color instead of the shape. The thing that I saw was that he could distinguish the color purple very well and he said it very clearly and I thought that was interesting because it was his mother’s favorite color.

The proper listening of a foreign learners make them feel all the doors to simplicity of language is open. Listening of a language makes good and cool-hearted learners and speakers. There is no good speaker, who have not been a good listener
Learning a foreign language involves developing new skills and going through different stages. The four skills you need to develop are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. You need to be able to understand when someone speaks the language you are learning. In addition to that, you need to be able to express yourself in that language. Most of the time, the written language is more complex than the spoken language. You want to be able to understand a text you read. Moreover, you want to be able to express your ideas in writing, with the right words and correct grammar. Acquiring these four skills requires various study patterns.
