[eal-bilingual] BOOSTER GROUP SESSION ACTIVITIES

Hiya im a bilingual classroom assistant and have been for the past 7 months. There are new timetables for us and i now have a BOOSTER GROUP well only 2 students in each group but i was wondering if anyone did any booster sessions and have some info on what kind of things i could do with the students. I have only nursery student boosters at the moment but if you could give me ideas for nursery all the way through to ks3 as i work with all of them and i may be required to do boosters with them too. The teacher in nursery said do colours, numbers and mainly communicating in the childrens home language i.e. farsi / dari in my case. Please help me with ideas of activities etc. Thank you.
