644. Using English for communication. More games




One day teacher of English B said to teacher of English A, “On post #259 I gave you a lot of activities and games that may help our students play with English, and construct sentences or texts in English.



With passing months and years I’ve invented more games/activities and as well learned from the reactions and ways of doing things by the students themselves.



On label ‘more games’ in this blog you can find some more. Now I offer some new games, briefly:



1. The teacher invents and tells a simple story, by speaking, with 3 or 4 words the students provide; young students are very imaginative.



2. One student says a sentence with one word he or she has learned lately in the classes.



3. Elicit and give terms related with computers and the Internet.



4. They say, by turns, words that include one letter, but which words don’t begin with that letter. You can write them on the board; students like to see filling with columns of words by themselves; it’s like a competition.



5. They, with your assistance, plan a trip or an excursion, by telling as many points as possible: where, date, means of transportation, scheduled plan, accomodation, visits, leadership, games, working on Internet maps and touristic leaflets and pictures, etc.



Thus they work with real language, and you all communicate in English. Don’t be too concerned with grammar accuracy – now the point is communication.” / Photo from: epotential education vic gov au
