Читать книгу English Class: Play With Us. Quick Fun Activities - Ирина Борисова - Страница 2

English Class: Play With Us contains a collection of games and activities for teaching and revising English. It includes vocabulary, pronunciation, speaking, writing and grammar activities ranging from beginner to advanced level. Teachers may find them helpful when doing certain themes of the academic curriculum, as well as use them as a short break before proceeding to the next «serious» exercise in the textbook. Another good idea is to employ some of those activities for warming up. Besides, if you organize such a quick fun at the end of the class, the students will definitely leave the classroom in a great mood which, undoubtedly, will exert positive influence on their English studies.

The games and activities have been grouped into five categories in accordance with the aspect they belong to and the skill they develop:

• Vocabulary

• Pronunciation

• Grammar

• Speaking

• Writing

Some of the activities described below are meant to be carried out as whole class activities. Others are designed for pair work or group work. Working with classmates makes the lesson more lively and enjoyable. Dealing with cards, a blackboard, crayons and other stuff involves more senses in the learning process making it, therefore, more effective.

All the activities introduced in the book have simple and clear rules and do not require much time to do. Time-limit is suggested for each activity though it depends on the group and may vary. The assumed class size is about 15 students. It is important not to spin out the activity, stop it when the time is over and sum up the results, preferably with the whole class.

Finally, there are games in this book based on popular pastimes, such as playing crocodile. Both adults and children love these games, they inalterably produce a cheerful atmosphere in the class. Alongside with this, you will find some new ideas that might be of interest to your students and help them learn English with fun and pleasure.
