Classroom labeling
In: Beginner| Elementary| False Beginner| High School| Intermediate| Kindergarten| Middle School| Recipe
23 Jul 2011This is a great idea for the start of the year.

Body writing
In: Beginner| Elementary| False Beginner| Kindergarten| Middle School| Recipe
1 Jun 2011This idea works well in pairs. Model in front of the class first.

2. The classmate guesses the number/letter.
3. Make it more advanced. Larger numbers / words.

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

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.

In: Advanced| Business| High School| Intermediate| Middle School| Recipe| University
