Our reading corner

I always try to find new ways to encourage my students to read books. Reading books develops vocabulary and spelling skills, improves expression, unlocks new experiences and senses for children and enhances their imagination. A book is truly a child's best friend!

I have set up a book club at school for my students. We get together, read a story and then complete a handout with fun and engaging activities.

This new feature is now available on the Greek4Kids blog. The book we are exploring this week is Όταν η πασχαλίτσα συνάντησε ελέφαντα.

Print out the activities' handout and enjoy this book with your children!

The fish song - Το ψαράκι

This is our newest addition to the Nursery Rhymes series. It is a lovely nursery rhyme, based on the English nursery rhyme Once I caught a fish alive.

It helps children learn the numbers from one to ten. Ask the children to sing while counting with their fingers.

You can get the children to make fish out of card paper and hold them while singing the song. They can imitate the fish's "lips" with their mouth. You can use a blue bed sheet as the sea and let the children help their paper fish "swim" in the sea.

Here is a version of the ψαράκι nursery rhyme.

You can combine singing this song with a fish craft or a story about a fish. Here is a lovely rhyming story about a fish who is afraid to swim:

Ένα ψάρι που δεν ήξερε να κολυμπάει.
