English outdoors?
|
|
Hello everyone! I �m new here and I think this place is highly useful. I would like to ask for advice. I �m teaching English to children age 12-13 in Madrid. Last class, the wheather was so pleasant that I took the children to the park. We worked with prepositions of place. I prepared a version of "Simon says" asking then to place themselves between the trees, on a bench, next to a streetlamp... They had a lot of fun and I think they really learnt something about prepositions. My point: I can �t come up with more activities outdoors and they have begged me to repeat the experience. Can anybody help me? I �m open to all kind of suggestions. Thanks for you help! Best regards

If you wish, try this activity here. It �s a giant board game you actually play outdoors, and you can change the topic to suit what your students like. |

Thanks a lot! I �ve just downloaded it and in process or reading but I think it will work very well. I �ll make some little alterations to fit my needs. It �s clear you put a lot of work and imagination in it!

Hi ! I also take my youngest pupils out to play with English. I have flashcards (any subject can do). The pupils line up in front of me. One side is "right", the other is "wrong". I tell them a statement about the flashcard (this is a blue ball) and they have to jump ont the good side. Those who don �t are out... repeat until there is a winner !
Enjoy
