I usually teach teenagers at Lower Intermediate level and I therefore try and devise activities to suit my students´ age, needs and level. However, most activities can be easily adapted to other levels or age groups. The following is just a rough reference guide.
* Elementary - The Spelling Officer Teach/Revise the alphabet. Give your class some spelling practice. Students are given a clue and they have to rearrange some scrambled letters in order to get the right word.
* Elementary to Lower Intermediate - But...Where Are You??? Vocabulary revision. Many different semantic fields and situations: in the city, on the beach, in the country...almost everything and everywhere! - Have You Noticed? Stds find and read some notices. They end up writing their own...but the topic IS unusual. Good for Class Management purposes. - Sentence Maker Your students will get their sentence patterns right from now on. Also, they will enjoy making sentences: the more, the merrier.
* Lower Intermediate - Crime and Punishment A lesson on the goodies, the baddies and those in-between. - The People Next Door Do your students know their neighbouring countries? And how do they like their people? - The Visitor : Me and Mr Platt One of my most successful lessons ever. I enjoyed myself tremendously, and so did the kids.
* Intermediate to Upper Intermediate - GIRLS : The Lesson Boys vs Girls? Not anymore. We all have feelings and, most important, we all have the same rights. - Neighbours! Stds. use some notes to write and perform a sketch. Anything could happen!
* Suitable for all (or most) levels - Buy Now! Reading ads, writing ads and maybe buying and/or selling... - Folks´ Corner Foodlovers...Visit our virtual restaurant. - Hungry Brats Meet some kids who are hungry for knowledge! Just like your students? - My Word! A vocabulary game. Select a topic, write a list of words...and see what happens. - Songbook No 1: Rivers of My Mind Why not play a few songs today? - The Clever Compositions Club The stds. get organized and write great compositions. What else could you wish for? - The Talking Zone A list of topics to talk about...one at a time, please! - Verb Curse A final solution to make everyone learn the irregular verbs list really fast. And it is fun too! - Watch Your Step! Good for Class Management. Ever heard of students taking responsibility for their own learning? That´s it!
