Listening is a much debated topic for the teaching community. Do you do a lot of listening with your kindergarten students? Do put a lot of viseos to keep them busy? Do you use the CD that comes with the book series that you are using ? Or, are your speaking all the time and your students just listening?
It is said that usually students do more listening in class that speaking. And, yes, it is important that students do a lot of listening before they start speaking. Open with model sentences that they can recreate with other vocabulary.
There some types of classroom listening performance that we should include in our lesson planning.
Reactive listening in which or students will listen to any word, stucture and repeat it.Great for choral drills.
Responsive listening where you want a response from your students.
When you greet them at the door, you say Hi! and they inmediately answer: Hi! 
When you give them commands such as: stand up,sit down, come here, color, cut, show me, draw!
When you check comprehension as you dictate something for a worksheet or activity book: Color the square yellow!
Play games where students have to point to a picture or flashcard as they listen to what is said.
Have students draw, or color to what you say.
Model sentences, phrases for your students to repeat as you show flashcards.
Ask questions about any drawing, something on the student book or flashcards.
As you write your lesson plan, make sure to include listening activities. Plan any listening resources that will be of interest of your young learners.There are many games that make them speak and have others listen.
