Welcome to Resource Gallery of ideas for language/cultural immersion.
Language immersion through visual cards.
CREATE ፊደል/alphabet Flash Cards!
Cut construction paper to about 2.5 X 3.5 inches. Different colors for each ሀ to ፐ combination will be helpful. Write one alphabet on each card. Shuffle the cards really well and give it to your student to sort out. |
ፊደል -Alphabet flashcards are ideal exercise for any age. You can also use picture cards.
|
You can also write words on the cards to build your vocabulary and have your kids read them out loud.

- "What am I?"or "Who am I?" እኔ ማን ነኝ? sort of like እንቆቅልሽ /riddles-
- Name the Opposite game.
- Treasure Hunt- with simple directions.
- "Finish the Story". One person starts a story and everyone goes in turns adding to it. ተረት ተረት but with a twist so everyone can participate.
