"All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages".

Seconds later (after the chatter has died down a little - 'where's he gone?') I knock loudly on the door, then open the door, wave to…

This is a fun way to teach negative commands, wake up the class or simply make them laugh.
- Write on the board "DON'T TOUCH ME".
- Have the class say the phrase with you one or two times to get used to it. Some may already know it.
- Poke a student GENTLY on the shoulder or on top of the head. The student may need to be prompted to say "Don't touch me." Alert

This is a fun way to not only to incorporate singing into the lesson, but get the class moving.
- Find a section of an unfamiliar song that the students have probably never heard.

- Divide class into teams and tell them they have
