You can make your students create their own giant pictionary with important basic and new words. You can make them fill in the names of different countries on a giant map. You can make them create a poster with different characters from several countries of the world. Here are some ideas for beginners. And congrats ! |

I �ve used worksheets and powerpoints from here (I hope it �s legal!). There are some great ppts with American and English English, also wss about basic prepositions and the verbs �to be � and �to have �, enlarged to A3, laminated, look great and are prompts for the students. I �ve got the months of the year around the top of my classroom, days of the week by the board. Some hand written things always look good, in my opinion. I have sheets of A4 around the room with time adverbs �First � �Then � �Next � �After that � �Suddenly � Finally etc. I have downloaded lots of brilliant flashcards from
http://www.mes-english.com/flashcards.php (free, you don �t have to join) and I �ve pinned those up. I �ve put some onto blank A3 and written words around them, or asked students to e.g. actions cards, with sentences. �It �s morning. � �He �s going to school. � �He �s carrying his school bag on his back � etc. A nicely decorated classroom is a must, well done for taking it seriously. Hope our advice helps you and good luck.

@Lynne: Legal? That �s what those things are here for - to help teachers like us:) Not sure about others, but I would be absolutely thrilled to know that somebody used my materials and it made their job a bit easier:) Sophia
