| Title | Ideas for Teaching Cleaning Vocabulary to Young Children |
| Body | A TESLK-12 user suggests the following activity and song for teaching cleaning vocabulary to young learners: Since this is for small children, you can have fun bringing in (from home, no need to invest in "play items" from a store) a broom, dustpan, old washcloths, new washcloth, sponge, dish soap, plastic dish, cup, plate, buckets... and have a cleaning day. Set out the supplies, and teach the words gradually. There are many ways to do this, but the most interesting for the children would be with lots of action and singing. I'd give each child a plate, cup, and dish, and a sudsy washcloth, and teach them to sing: This is the way we wash the cup, wash the cup, wash the cup This is the way we wash the cup, so early (xxx) morning. Do this for each item they wash. Continue with these, and any other actions you can think of. -rinse the plate -wipe the table -clean the chair -dust the shelf -sweep the floor -empty the dustpan Use the words each day the first week. Use the song once a week after that, and your classroom will shine! Chenoweth, C. Re: [TESLK-12] Cleaning Vocabulary.
