Story: The Enormous Turnip

This is another well-known classic tale the children really enjoy and allows the creation of endless characters.
Appart from learning and practicing new vocabulary in a meaninful contect through role-play, we could get our students to work on:

• Fruits and vegetables


• Plants, planting and how they grow
  
• Writing character descriptions


• Sequencing the steps of an action
  

This video shows a classroom experience with young children where the teacher is narrating the story and the students repeat some key sentences and perform it with the aid of some props and masks they have made themselves.
