28. Знайди свою маму
 Мета гри: потренуватись у вживанні
структури Present Simple: “Do you live
in …?” “Yes, I do.” “Do you like…?” “No, I
don’t.” “I live in…” “I like…” “Are you …?”
“Yes, I am.”, повторити назви тварин,
їжі для них та місця їхнього
проживання.
 Зміст гри: кожен учень одержує
картку, на якій вказані назва
тварини, місце її проживання та
улюблена їжа. Клас ділиться на дві
групи. Одна група – діти, друга – їхні
батьки. Дитина повинна знайти
свою маму/ тата, ставлячи їм
запитання “Do you live in …?” “Do you
like…?” “Are you a…?” Діти, які
знайшли своїх батьків, сідають на
свої місця. Потім вони у парі
розповідають класу, де вони живуть
і що їдять, а клас повинен відгадати
цих тварин.

40. The stages you can go through
when you learn a rhyme
(fingerplay, action chant)
1. Copy the actions. (Copy me.)
2. Join in with some words. (Copy me and say
these words: ...)
3. Join in with all the words. (Let's do it
together.)
4. Do it alone. (Now you do it.)
5. You may add your own lines.

41. Fingerplays

44. Running Dictation Activity
 A running dictation
 is a classic ESL game because it’s
fun
 gets students out of their seats
and engages reading, writing,
listening and speaking skills
 can be used in a variety of
contexts!

unning-dictations-in-efl

45.  Set-up: Prepare a short text (3-5 sentences). Print a copy
in a 16-point font for easy reading. Place the text at the
front of the room. Playing outside, post the texts on a fence
or a wall and create an obstacle course for the runners. It
remains there throughout the activity. (For larger classes,
you may need 3-5 copies placed around the room.)
 Groups: Students can work in pairs or threes. One person is
the designated writer. The other partner is the runner.
They can only read and speak. (If you have groups of three,
the two non-writers take turns being the runner.)
 Action: When time starts, one runner from each group
“runs” to the front and memorizes as much text as possible.
Require the runners to move in a certain way (e.g.: hop on
one foot, gallop, walk backwards, etc.). He or she then
returns to the writer and reports what was read. The writer
writes. This continues until the text is complete.
 Rules: The students should try to reproduce the text
exactly – including correct spelling and punctuation. The
first group to finish with a correct text is the winner.
