People often think of "pour" as a word to describe getting water or juice into a cup.  Here are some fun and functional ideas to take you beyond your thirst:
  • Pour water in the bathtub, at the beach, or in the garden
  • Pour detergent into the washing machine or dishwasher
  • Pour glue, paint, or glitter during arts and crafts
  • Pour ingredients: everything from frozen fruits into a blender, to cake batter into a pan!
As always, be mindful to vary the contexts to prevent "chunked phrases" such as pour always said as "pour water."
Be creative and have fun!

Kids love to throw.  Here are some fun and interactive ways to teach the word "throw" to beginning language learners at the 1-3 word level:

  • Throw balls into hoops
  • Throw clothes into the washing machine or dryer
  • Throw toys into the tub before bath time
  • Get inspiration from the seasons: throw water balloons, leaves, or snowballs
  • Throw rocks into the water at the beach 
 
As always, make sure to vary the context to prevent "chunked phrases" such as the word throw always being said as "throw ball."  

"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back."  Maya Angelou
