Warm-up speaking

 Hi everyone!



Picture this: today is the first day of class and you do not really know your students. Neither do they. What can you do to sort out this situation? Here I am the answer to your questions:

This resource I created using Canva can help you in several ways. First of all, as the questions are very simple, this activity could be done with the smallest ones, like primary one or two if they talk about vocabulary they probably know, such as food, colours or toys. Apart from that, if your students are older you can tell them to ask for further information. 

Not only speaking could be practice through this worksheet, as it is necessary that all children look for different classmates for each question, but also students will be able to stand up and walk around the class, something that will probably make them feel more motivated and active.

As the activity is about likes and dislikes, it will be very useful to know your students better an so they will be able to know each other. 

It can be used also not with the aim of getting to know each other but to practice some vocabulary studied in class in a speaking activity, for example, I used it talking about food, but feel free to give it different uses. What is important is that the students fill in the blanks with different vocabulary. Later, we can play some music while they are walking around the class. When the teacher stops the music they have to ask one of the questions to the student that stops next to them and note down her or his answer. 

If you want this resource you only have to fill in the contact me form available in this blog and as soon as possible I will send you the document.

Please, let me know in the comments if you liked the idea and how you used it in class. 

See you soon!

Farm listening

Hello everyone! Today we're going to the farm! Here you are a listening activity using the following audio that you can find in the link: https://www.learning-english-online.net/language-course/unit-8-at-the-animal-farm/reading-and-listening-story/ It is about a family which visits the farm and the different animals and activities they find there. In the link, you can also find the script.  The activity I did is the following one: First of all, we warm-up and engage the students doing a brainstorming of the animals they know, using a padlet in a collaborative way, as the one you can see here: https://padlet.com/carolinafernandez21214/animals-uht55pbyr6jnm2dc Next step will be listening to the audio and discovering what happens with this family. Later on, we will check the understanding of the students and also, we will give them the following worksheets I created with Canva: Once the students have listened to the audio twice, they will be able to answer the questions and together,...

Delicious food writing

  Hello everyone and welcome to my restaurant! As you already know I'm a big fan of Canva and here I am again one of my creations.  The aim of this worksheet is to practice writing about food with primary 1 or 2 students. First of all it is necessary that the students have learnt some vocabulary about food so, later, we can give them this worksheet to practice it. They have to write some food they love, like and don't like and then, choose three of them and draw a picture in each of the boxes given.  I've used it with my students and they really enjoyed doing the activity. You can ask them also, when they finish, to show it to the rest of the classmates to make it more motivating and to practice also the speaking skill.  I hope you like it and find it useful, again, if you want to have access to the resource, contact me in the form and I'll send it as soon as possible.  Let me know in the comments your opinion about it.  See you soon!
