However much we try our best as educators, we are only human. On our bad days, why is it that some students seem to annoy us more than others? Why do we all have those favorite students and those who make us want to tear our hair out? What we think of them may be more of a reflection of our own life and education experiences. This workshop will give practical suggestions on how we can build better relationships with our students and deepen our understanding of their needs.

English Skills: Speaking
Objective: Form questions and identify a person or thing
The same game can be played as 'Guess What', in which case students
are playing to identify an object, animal, etc (it’s a good idea to start with
an object in the room until students get the hang of it).
You may choose to prepare a handout of possible questions to get things
started and help weaker students. Some possible questions are: ‘Are you
famous?’ ‘Are you a man?’ ‘Are you a woman?’ ‘Are you an actor?’ ‘Are
you a singer?’
** Music can add to the fun and tension of this game. Add recorded sound
effects such as a ticking clock, Jeopardy, etc. to create a better
atmosphere for the game.
