Example of Activity
This is an example of an effective TPR activity that students can perform at
their seats. Each student has a kit such as the interior of a kitchen. Then you
say in the target language, "Put the man in front of the sink.“ With your play
board displayed so that it is clearly visible to the students, you place the man
in the kitchen of your kit and your students follow by performing the same
action in their kits.
