w-up activ.

1. Warming up activities.
Activity 1: Change places
1. Get all the students to sit in chairs in a circle except one person who does not
have a chair. This person stands in the middle of the circle.
2. The person in the middle calls out one instruction. ex, “Change if you are wearing
a white shirt.”
3. All the people wearing a white shirt must stand up and change places. The last
person left standing without a chair, calls out another instruction. ex, “Change if you
live in Phnom Penh.”
4. All the people living in Phnom Penh now change places and the person left
standing calls out another instruction. ex, “Change if you are married.”
5. Keep playing for a few minutes.
Activity 2: Shopping bag
1. Put the students in groups of 8-10 people.
2. The first person in the group starts by saying the following sentence: “Yesterday I
went to the market and I bought some fish.”
3. The next person in the group repeats the first sentences and adds another thing
that they bought. Ex.” Yesterday I went to the market and I bought some fish and
some bananas.”
4. Each person in turn repeats the sentence and adds another item. The students
have to concentrate hard to remember all the things in the correct order
Activity 3: Categories
1. One person thinks of a category, such as MOVIES.
2. In a circle, everyone must take a turn thinking of a Movie title (in English of course).
3. If someone takes too long to give an answer (the leader should count to five) then
that person is out and a new category begins.

2. 4. If someone gives an answer that doesn't make sense or is incorrect, he is also out
of the game. For example, if the category is VEGETABLES and someone says
"banana" that person is out. The game continues until only one person is left!
Activity 4: Broken Telephone
1. The leader first must think of a sentence or phrase and whisper it to the person
beside her.
2. That person will then whisper what she heard to the next person. Each person
can only say, "Can you please repeat that?" one time.
3. When the message reaches the end of the chain that person must speak out
loud.
4. Oftentimes the message will be completely different when it reaches the end.
5. Try to find out where the chain broke! In a big group, you can send the message
two ways and find out which team comes closest to the real message.
Activity 5: ABC line
1. The class is divided in two groups.
2. Each group have to create a line with their members.
2. Give each student a small piece of paper with an aleatory word.
3. When they know the word, they have to move between them to organize the line
in alphabetical order (A-Z) without broke the line.
4. The first group in get the correct alphabetical line is the winner.
