2. Class Room Item Vocabulary
Ask students to ask “What is this?” with classroom items you see, then teacher replies “This is a ___“. This is going to be useful for the upcoming exercises. Take a picture of the whiteboard and add those words in the Anki deck.
3. Review Body Parts (20 min)
Activity: Touching Something With Body Part (21 min)
Play with 2 teams of 3 players each.
The active player must carry the balloon attached to their body (e.g. wrist), that adds a visual element that’s fun and entertaining to see.
The teacher will reveal four sentences like:
- Touch a pen with your left foot.
- Touch a window with your left foot.
- Touch a head with your nose.
- Touch a whiteboard with a pen.
Touch a bell with your ear
Touch a table with your nose
Touch a pillow with your finger
Touch a book with your left hand
And one by one the students need to perform these actions while the teacher keeps track of time.
The winner is the team that finished them the fastest. If no winner then the team who completed more actions wins.
Elements to play with:
- Classroom items: pen, pencil, floor, whiteboard, door, desk, chair, book, curtain, window, tv, computer, …
- Body parts: head, finger, hand, feet, elbow, knee, …
21 minutes = 3 games of 7 minutes (each player gets 2 minutes).
