TEACHING DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS:
WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOES NOT? 
When teaching different age groups you will realize the importance of 
choosing the best method suitable to their age as well as being able to relate to 
what is going on in your students’ worlds. You begin to look back at when you 
were their age and wonder what appealed to you, and if it will still resonate with 
them today. This article will look at how best to relate to the age group you are 
teaching by keeping your lessons relevant and exciting.
Kindergarteners. 
Anyone who has taught kindergarten knows how much energy 
the students have. It is a full lesson of go, go, go. As cute as the kids are, if your 
lesson is not jam-packed with 
active, high-energy games
, you’re going to lose 
them. In order to keep the students active and entertained as well as get the target 
language across, you will need to be 
innovative.
This age group responds very 
well to 
songs, colorful images and movement.
Make sure your activities include 
at least one of these three elements to keep them interested. Not only must the 
activity have movement, so should you. Don’t be afraid to make a fool of yourself. 
Kindergartens 
react well to exaggerated facial expressions, big movements and 
loud sounds.
For example, teaching them about animals in the jungle is most 
effective when you make the sounds of the animals and role play to the students. 
They will not only love the acting but if the teacher is comfortable with acting like 
a kindergartener then they will feel more confident in the classroom and being 
among other students. 
Keep lessons active while including the target language in fun ways. Try not to 
include activities which require a lot of coordination or ball skills. This age group 
is still developing those skills and if they are asked to do something they lack 
confidence in, the student will shy away and not want to participate. With the 
correct balance of learning and fun these lessons will be a huge success, so clown 
around and enjoy being a child again.
