Good morning everyone:
 Two pieces of advice pleaseeee
 
1.- I was wondering what kind of activities or games can we do with our students to make them practice the indirect speech? Are there any boardgames here?
 
2.- The second question is a little bit more complicated for me to explain the thing is that tomorrow I have classes with 24 kids under the ages 7-9. (3 chronollogical hour class) Well tomorrow... THERE WON �T BE ELECTRICITY I am almost terrified, because usually we use videos, the projector and listening activities to make them have fun, but now I feel that they are going to get bored with painting activities for the three hours, Please I really need some  ideas.  
 
Thank you so much.

can you please clear something up?

do you have 3 classes of an hour each or 1 class of 3 hours??
 
there are numerous games and songs you can use to fill in time and revision over things that they have already learned, make it like a quiz with winners and prizes and such to keep them having fun and motivated if you need to...that �s just a quick idea.

here �s a little speaking activity to practise "indirect speech" called "chain speaking"
ask one pupil to whisper to a classmate of sentence eg. "i have a dog" - then ask the the pupil to repeat what he understood eg. "Katy said (that) she has a dog" - then ask another pupil to whisper a new sentence, but this time the pupil who listens has to whisper it to a 3rd pupil...
see what I mean?

take care!
