This is a great idea for the start of the year. 

Give each group of students some card board strips of paper. Also some tape. 

Students brainstorm the names of all things in the classroom (in English!). 

Then, ask them to go tape the names up around the classroom. First come, first server.

After, take up the names. Student will learn the words over time, as they see them in class and use them.

This idea works well in pairs.  Model in front of the class first. 

 

1. Write numbers or letters on the back of a student/classmate by using your finger.

2. The classmate guesses the number/letter.

3. Make it more advanced. Larger numbers / words. 

 

You can also do a variation of this by doing the same on the palm of the person. 

 

Really "visceral" and kinesthetic way of teaching basic content. …

Language Area!

Sometimes it is really difficult to avoid students talk in their mother tongue, so usually I choose a corner of the whiteboard and draw a small circle and write Portuguese Area. So if a students want to say anything that he/she can't say in English he/she has to stand up and go to the Portuguese Area. This is interesting because students don't want to stand up all the time in…

The teacher elicits some verbs from students (4 or 5 verbs) and writes them on the board. Ex: run-eat-see-fly.

Give students 2 or 3 minutes to write a sentence with all the verbs from the board in the same sequence without adding any other verb except for auxiliaries. Ex: I was running home to eat when I saw a beautiful bird flying.

Students then can mingle and tell each other the sentence…

Overview:

A simple but fun quick-fire game to liven up a class or as a reward in the final segment of a language lesson.  A student comes to the front of the class, the students choose a topic (for example, 'Your last holiday', 'Your favourite food' etc), then the class fire questions to the student.  The student has to answer the questions but cannot say the words either 'YES' or 'NO'. …
