A few tips (I)

When starting a preparation ask yourself these questions: • What are the students working on in class with their English teacher? (What’s the cultural background? What are the objectives of the unit / chapter / sequence / “final task”? • What’s your objective? (to make the students improve their speaking skills? their writing skills? …) • How can you reach your objective? (What activities are most adapted? Which one comes first? second? ….)

A few tips (II)

When starting a preparation ask yourself these questions: • What are the different steps in each activity? (How does it start? What instructions will you give? What kind of help / guidelines will you give the students who could be a bit lost? … How does the activity end? ...) • Which material will you need? (photocopies, computers, sound, video projector, games, …)

Activities Workshop 1

Let's play the activities... What could be the objectives ? Focus on the potential difficulties, How could you help ? How would you evaluate the activity ?…

Ice-Breakers

Who am I ? Give students pieces of paper and tell them to write a famous person’s name on it. A person that they think everyone will know. Collect the pieces of paper and have the students come up one by one and tape a piece of paper with a famous person’s name on their back. Don’t let the students see who their person is. Then have the students mingle and look at each other names. The students then ask questions about themselves. (Am I .....?) They have to guess who they are. Who are you?

What could be the objectives ? Focus on the potential difficulties, How could you help ? How would you evaluate the activity ?…

Ice-Breakers

Mystery box Put a mystery object in a box. Have the students ask yes/no questions to guess what the mystery object is.

Ice-Breakers

Question Strips As a Seated Activity Have your students seated in pairs or in groups of three. Lay the cut-up questions – face-down – between the students. Students take turns randomly selecting questions to ask their partner(s). Encourage follow-up questions. Be sure to set a time frame for your students. Monitor and assist.

Ice-Breakers

Question Strips (alternative) As a Standing Activity Have all your students stand up. Give one question strip to each student. Students find a partner and ask their question. Encourage follow-up questions. After the students have asked each other their questions, have them exchange question strips and find new partners and continue. Set a time frame as above. Monitor and assist.

Ice-Breakers

BEACH – Question strips (Example) When was the last time you went to a beach? Did you enjoy it? Are there many good beaches in your country? Which one do you prefer? How long does it take you to travel to a beach? Do you ever worry about sharks when you swim at a beach? What kinds of activities can you do at a beach? Would you like to live next to a beach? Why? / Why not? Would you like to work as a lifeguard? Why? / Why not? Can you swim? If ‘yes’, when did you learn how to swim? Tell me about a time you went to a beach.

Aimeriez-vous vivre près d'une plage ? Pourquoi ? / Pourquoi pas ? Aimerais-tu travailler comme maître-nageur sauveteur ? Pourquoi ? / Pourquoi pas ? Savez-vous nager ? Si oui, quand avez-vous appris à nager ? Raconte-moi une fois où tu es allé(e) à la plage.

A few ideas (I)

Lie detector (ice-breaker) Think of two true things about yourself and one lie. Students must ask you questions to find out which is the lie. You can limit the number of questions or put a time limit on asking questions or simply have them ask questions until they think they know the lie. Then finally the students make their guesses and you tell them if they are right or not. Model the exercise first then let the students try it out. You can make it into a game where people compete to find the most lies or who is the best liar. (Questions fermées et ouvertes)

A few ideas (II)

Snow balls - Paper fight (ice-breaker) Write 3 questions on the board. Students must then write their answers on the pieces of paper. Students then crumple the paper up into a ball and throw it at each other. Let the "fight" continue as people pick up paper balls off the floor and throw them. Yell "stop" and students must pick up a piece of paper and open it up. Students then ask each other questions trying to find the owner of the paper. Once they give the person their paper back, they can sit down. Il faut être à l’aise avec la gestion de classe mais l’activité est vivante et permet de vraiment "briser la glace" pour créer une dynamique de classe. Exemples de questions : What’s you favourite colour ? What’s your favourite English word ? What’s your favourite holiday destination ? What’s your favourite fruit or vegetable ? ...

A few ideas (III)

Board games - Kloo : The game consists of two decks of cards and the goal is to create a sentence that makes sense using only the cards that you have in your hand. You can also create a similar game. - Trivial Pursuit : Family pack (2 levels) - Brain Box (memory games)

A few ideas (IV)
