In addition, I have created some flashcards for gross motor skills. They will prove useful if you teach non-native speakers, or very you

Fruit Shadow Games
There are 2 types of flash cards - with and without frames. The game can be played as a traditional memory game, or just a matching game. Please check the product for more fun ideas!
I suggest printing the flash cards on thicker paper, so you can’t see the pictures when they are face down. You can also try using flash card pouches / pockets from any board game store. They have plenty of sizes and colors to choose from.

Teaching style
I prefer the child-centered approach to teaching: children learn better if they actively participate in the learning process, not just by observing what the teacher is doing.
