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!

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!

Reading computers

Hello everyone! Today we're going to practice a reading activity! As our students are digital natives, I've looked for a text about computers, for them to know more about this tool they use everyday almost everytime. You can find the text in the following link: https://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/read-write/reading-practice/level-3-reading/computers To start the activity we can ask the students some questions about the creation of computers to see their knowledge, like: when they were created, by who, where, how they were at the beginning... we can also ask them about mobile phones, Internet...  Later, we will read the text and check doubts together. Also, we will explain them some vocabulary that we find interesting for them to know, such as "store" or "program". We can also look for pictures or further information about the things that are mentioned in the text, so they can find the activity more interesting.  Finally, I have prepared a Kahoot with

Moods flashcards

Hi everyone! Today I come with some flashcards I created to work feelings, moods and speaking as a routine everyday in class. I use them with grades between 1st and 3rd of primary and first of all I show them the name of the moods at the same time that we do TPR to understand the meaning and associate the mood with an action.  In order, the moods presented are:  Happy Sad Tired  Angry Scared  Thristy Hungry Hot Cold Nervous Sick Once they have learnt the action and the mood, I ask them everyday pointing to each picture: "How do you feel today?", so they have to answer "Today I feel ..." while doing the TPR too. Later, I take advantage of this knowledge and in the assembly I ask them how they feel and why. Another idea, something that I also do with all of them is asking them what do they do when they are... So the same way that we do the last part of the activity we do this one. The phrases that we say are: When I'm happy I smile When I'm sad I cry When I
