Actividades TPR en inglés

Las actividades de TPR (Total Physical Response) son un método comunicativo para aprender lenguas extranjeras. Consiste en escuchar instrucciones (ejemp.: mano derecha arriba) y los niños responden con la acción. La lección debe ser de manera predecible, por uso de rutinas. Son actividades muy adecuadas para niños de educación infantil porque pueden imitar facilmente y confían en sus sentidos para adquirir nuevos conocimientos. Pero es fundamental que las instrucciones sean claras y que haya una buena pronunciación. 
Es un método natural, divertido, activo y participativo en el cual, se reconocen palabras, se recuerdan estructuras de las frases o aprenden a utilizar las frases hechas. 

A continuación, hay diferentes actividades de TPR adecuadas para cada edad de educación infantil:
