I'm sure this has been done before, but I can't find it, so...

I have to teach storybook classes and drama classes to six-year-olds. They can't really understand either the story or the play, and they can't read, so I'm not sure what to do with the story except "now repeat after me..." And the drama should theoretically be fun, but I've tried having them do actions and different voices and such and they aren't really getting into it. so, any suggestions for how to make these classes more enjoyable for them (and me?)

What storybook?

Right now it's The Enormous Turnip.

Have the words "enormous" and "turnip" translated to them if you can. If you can't, get a Korean dictionary and translate it to them yourself. Hopefully, you can try to say two different words in Korean?

I have confidence in you to be able to explain to them what big/really big = enormous means, then show them a picture of a turnip. That should be a good start?

well, yes. "enormous turnip" is not that difficult to get across, but then the book is full of other words they don't understand.

anyway, my real question was what can I do to make all this more fun for them? surely somebody out there has some ideas...
