What about making a GREEK SALAD outdoor?

 

 

 

You can talk about the ingredients and things you need to make it  (vocabulary) , the recipe and process (verbs, ordinals) and speaking about healthy food against fast food. Finally you can eat the salad and the fruit of the trees (if they are ripe fruit, of course), Vocabulary about farm animals and the orchard should be useful too.

 

 Don �t  forget to add the marvellous Feta cheese

 

Another exercise: You can try speaking about the parts of trees and plants and then, make a poster about them or a classification about types of leaves.

 

A description contest using the animals (speaking or writing) or a spelling game with plants and animals, too.

 

Grandfather clock what time is it?

 

This is a game. Have the students line up at one end of the yard/field facing the teacher.(The teacher is designated the clock) All together the students shout, " Grandfather clock what time is it?" The teacher chooses a number and says for example, "2 o �clock". The students must each take 2 steps forward, toward the teacher. The students ask again and the teacher again says a number, and the students move forward that number of steps. This continues until one student reaches the teacher and touches (tags) him/her. That student is the winner and he becomes the new clock.

I forgot to mention that if the teacher calls out Midnight! everyone can race to the teacher to tag her without counting their steps.

I looked for  a video of the game being played and could only find this variation, but it is similar and very clearly explained. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4bvuLlF0_Y

I prefer to face the class, and let the children tag me. The variation has the teacher�s back to the class, and the teacher chases the students when she calls out dinner time!
