10 Activities Challenge Under 40 Characters
- 1. The 10 Activities in 10 Minutes Challenge! Jane Pyper, IH Bogotá
- 2. • Don’t use the “grammar auction” activity from the back of the Teacher’s Book – set a task and start scribbling! • 10 sentences is a good amount, with some correct ones in there. • Include two or three mistakes in some sentences – keep them on their toes. • Learners buy the INCORRECT sentences, not the correct ones, or they won’t stay interested when you’re done selling. #1 Grammar Auction
- 3. #1 Grammar Auction – the rules Buy a correct sentence – lose your money …to Jane Buy a correct sentence – lose your money …to Jane Buy an incorrect sentence but can’t correct it – lose your money… to Jane Buy an incorrect sentence but can’t correct it – lose your money… to Jane Buy an incorrect sentence and correct it perfectly – DOUBLE YOUR MONEY!! Buy an incorrect sentence and correct it perfectly – DOUBLE YOUR MONEY!!
- 4. #1 Grammar Auction • Put your learners in groups. • Give them time to think about which ones they want to buy. • Set a maximum bid. • GET SELLING!!
- 5. #1 Grammar Auction Team A Team B $10,000 $10,000 A: I like cheese. B: Cheese likes me.
- 7. #2 Sentence organisation What will happen to Colombia?
- 8. #3 Stressed sentences What will happen to Colombia? What’s going to happen to Jane?
- 9. #4 Jazz chants What will happen to Colombia? What’s going to happen to Jane?
- 10. #5 What’s in my head?
- 11. #6 What’s in my pocket? • Only accept (correctly formed) y/n questions • Great for creating interest! • e.g. a postcard from your parents to introduce a writing activity • A theatre ticket to introduce what you did/are going to do
- 12. #7 Small talk party • Can be adapted for all levels – including beginner • Brainstorm small talk topics on the whiteboard • Give out a personality adjective to each member of the class
- 13. #7 Small talk party • Put on some music and let the learners mingle – they can’t say their adjective, they ARE their adjective • When all the students have spoken to each other, make a big circle and let everyone pool their ideas on what everyone else’s adjective was and why. • Always worth doing twice! • (Follow up with a sneaky grammar auction!)
- 14. #8 Sentence relays • Two teams in lines facing the board, board pen with the first student. • Say a sentence/question twice. • First student writes the first word, runs back and give the pen to the second. They write the second word, etc etc. • They can help each other. • Why is this a useful activity?
- 15. #9 Shark hangman (perhaps better with YL)
- 16. #10 10 second shapes • Can be letters, numbers, abstract nouns if you’re feeling lucky! • Call it out and in groups the students have 10 seconds to get into a shape that represents the word. • Then they test each other, or you!
