Gotta problem here. Doing summer camp ( In Thailand) Two straight hours of lesson a day. This is what they gave me as a guideline for my lesson plan:

Day One :

-Alphabet
-Song
-Game

Day Two :

-Name
-Nickname
-Age
-Song
-Game

Day Three:

- Day and Month
-Song
-Game

.... And so it continues for two weeks

Any solid ideas for (about 30 kids) you can give would be appreciated.
Remember it's a straight two hour class.

break it up into half hour blocks, because that's about the length of a kids attention span at that age.

For the alphabet- make flashcards for each letter and have the kids put them in order, or play a memory game with them.

For a song, divy the kids up into groups, give them a little time to make up a dance or something and then have a singing contest.

Basically, turn every single activity into a short game. If you can give stickers as prizes, all the better!

Enchantedlearning.com has some great craft ideas along with piles of edcuational stuff.

Thank you Peppermint. Good suggestions.
Any suggestions for simple games and activities?
I have been scouring the web, but most activities require the use of materials that I won't have access to.

Wow, great stuff ! Sincerely appreciated. Just not used to regular size classes anymore and panicked a bit when I saw the guidelines. It seemed a bit overwhelming, but, all good experience to gain.
