      Where to begin?!

      Hi,

       I am a student studying Spanish in Mexico for a year and have volunteered to help out in a local Kindergarden for children from poorer backgrounds in Mexico City. I have never taught anyone before and am feeling a little bewildered as the school have put so much faith into me to teach these children some English. I am finding it difficult to find resources that are suitable for the childrens ability and want to make the lessons as interactive as possible as their attention span is so short.

      Any suggestions on any materials I could get hold of online for free?

      Google for some kinds learning resources. Kids respond more to interactive methods of learning.

      I agree with simonereed30. Kids like interactive and don't forget visual.
