But it doesn't mean that we should write a strict plan for every lesson and follow all the stages.

Of course, following the same lesson strategy is much more effective, but it's also up to you to change the order if you want.

Don't forget that all the activities you do with children — songs, lullabies, chants, board or active games — are their first steps towards the world of English!

And what feelings and emotions a kid will associate with the language as they go further in life depends on the teachers and parents!
