Chicken Little
Vocabulary Themes
vocabulary
Here are some of the basic items presented in the show “Chicken Little”.
Any new vocabulary which is essential for understanding the story is pre-taught, usually
through mime or TPR and then consolidated with translation.
Remember that the show is interactive and the kids themselves perform in the show,
but besides this our shows also have a deliberately repetitive pantomime style in order
to drill structures and vocabulary throughout the performance.
