Handicrafts and recipes in BBC

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/laac/index.shtml

Surfing in Internet I find this resort that, in my opinion, is very useful to learn English. It can be used for teachers and parents. The web page belongs to BBC, and this company considers the games that they suggest appropiated for children between four and eight years old. I clicked in Micky Maker, she proposes that you click in whatever you can see in her bench, when you click some instructions appear to build this object. You can see a woodland game, a ladybird, some toffee apples, some peppermint leaves, finger puppets and a do-to-dot game.

When you click in whatever thing that Micky Maker has on her bench, the web page gives you the possibility to print out the instructions for building the object. In cases like toffee apples and peppermint leaves you print out the recipes.

In my opinion is a very good resort to work English at home, at school or wherever you want. It is nice to motivate children, to make cooking recipes and handicrafts. Vocabulary is easy to primary children and you can always use a dictionary or draw on the blackboard some pictures that help your pupils.

Activities are easy and very good explained, I think that children haven´t any problem to make them. It´s important to know that you have to download Macromedia´s Flash and Shockwave Players Plug-in to get into the rest of resources because if you don´t have this program you can´t go into the others animals.
