1. Classroom Activities To
Improve A Student's
Listening Skills
Listening is a very important skill that every student
needs to learn & practice. There are a number of
classroom activities that a teacher can use to hone
listening skills of a student.
Describe The Photo
Divide students into groups of 2
each and give each group a
photograph. In every group, one
student will describe the
photograph & the other will draw
a photo on his/her sheet. The
group whose drawing matches
their photograph most closely
wins the activity.
Play Word/
Number Bingo
Bingo games require every
player to listen to the caller very
carefully. So teachers can create
bingo games around words or
numbers which students have
learnt in the class, this in turn
will help them improve their
listening skills.
Secret Message
Divide the class into two separate
groups and make them stand in a
line. Then, whisper a phrase to first
student of each line, who in turn
whispers the sentence to the next
student, and so on down the line.
The last student then repeats the
message aloud to see if each one in
the group listened to the message
correctly & completely or not.
Blindfold Walking
Divide students into groups of
two, where one student of each
group is blindfolded. Make a
small obstacle course in your
classroom that the blindfolded
student has to complete by
listening to the directions given
by the other student. They will
be able to cross the obstacle
only when they listen attentively.
