Everyone knows grammar charts are dull. But you can liven them up with the old game of
telephone. To introduce a new grammatical structure, whisper a sample sentence in a student‘s
ear. Have the student repeat what s/he heard to the next student, and then s/he repeats what s/he
heard to the next student, and so on. The last student writes what s/he heard on the board, and
then you write the correct sentence below it. Have fun comparing the telephone version to the
correct one, and then introduce the key grammatical structures.

This is a fun way to make your students talk like they would talk in a daily life - improvising
dialogues. They work in groups with different topics chosen by you or their class mates. It
stimulates to use the vocabulary they have, practice it and make conversations they would in
daily life. It is also great to have fun activities in class.
In this speaking exercise you ask students to come to the front and do a little drama/ dialogue.
Procedure :
1. Prepare small cards with different characters (example, pop band singer (2-3), a fan, a police
man) or you can ask your students to give the plot of situation (if you have creative students)
2. Ask a number (according to number of characters) come in front and using a lottery choose
their character
3. If level of English is low, give few minutes, not more than 5, to prepare, so they know what
they will do.
4. Let them improvise!

Divide your learners into pairs. Ask them to take three minutes to interview each other. Each
interviewer has to find 3 interesting facts about their partner. Bring everyone back to together
and ask everyone to present the 3 facts about their partner to the rest of the group. Watch the
time on this one, keep it moving along.
Each person takes a turn to ask questions and figure out who they are. For example, Am I alive?
Am I female? Am I in a band? Only yes or no questions can be asked. If the answer is no, their
turn is over. If the answer is yes, they can ask another question and keep going until they get a
no, or guess who they are. Keep playing until everyone has guessed, or if time is short, stop after
the first few correct answers.

A good first-day activity is to, when introducing ourselves, give the meaning of our names (as
well as the spelling and pronunciation as necessary). Many students will know their names‘
meanings, and most people enjoy discussing their names. Those students who don‘t know their
names‘ meaning may be inspired to find out by the next class.
This is a valuable activity because it provides speaking and listening practice as students discuss
their names. In addition, it provides extra processing time of each name, increasing the
likelihood it will be remembered.

Before beginning a reading, write its title on the board and play a modified game of ―scrabble‖
with it: finding as many words within the title as possible. Even a simple title like ―Reunion‖
yields ―union,‖ ―run,‖ and ―rein,‖ etc. Students will also inevitably discuss the title itself, what it
means, and what the reading is likely to be about.
In this way students are developing their vocabulary as well as preparing for the reading.

Third Person Time Gap Fill
Hey, how do I download it? This is a warmer, and there is nothing to download. It's just an idea for your lesson, not a worksheet. It's a great game activity. It may be used as an ice-breaker or a "getting to know each other"
speaking activity. The level in fact depends on you, because you may change the questions. It
doesn't require a lot of preparation from you, but gives your students an opportunity to speak
without being stressed. My students really loved playing the game.
PREPARATION
- At home prepare some questions or tasks, depending on your students‘ level.
In less advanced groups the tasks should be as simple as these:
- smile at a person sitting opposite you,
- shake hands with your neighbors,
- pay a nice compliment to a third person sitting on your right,
- ask a question a second person sitting on your left,
- what is your friend like?,
- what do you do in your free time?,
- what is your favourite book about?,
etc.
In more advanced groups the tasks can be a bit more complicated:
- what was the happiest day of your life?,
- where would you go if you could go anywhere in the world?,
- what would you change if you were the headmaster of our school?,
etc.
Write each question or task on a separate strip of paper and put them all into a basket.
PROCEDURE
Ask your students to sit in a circle. Give them a basket with your questions/tasks, play music (it
should be a fast piece of music). While the music is playing, they should be passing the basket to
a person sitting on their right (so the basket is ―wandering‖ around the circle). Stop the music –
the person who is holding the basket should take one strip of paper and answer the question or do
the task.
My students really like playing the game and they have great time learning English, getting to
know one another and playing at the same time :)

On the first day of class, have students complete a short questionnaire that assesses their learning
styles. For example, ask questions such as ―Do you prefer to hear directions or see directions?‖
―Do you prefer reading or doing hands-on activities?‖ Ask about ten questions. Collate the
answers after class to find out if more students in the class are visual or kinesthetic learners, for
example.
This activity is helpful for the teacher to find out not only what the whole class‘s overall
preferred learning styles are but also those of individual learners, important information in
preparing lessons.

column stands up and you ask questions. The first student to raise their hand can answer the
question. If they get it right, they sit down. Continue until only one student is standing. The row
that intersects with that student then stands up. Repeat until you are out of questions. If you aren't
in rows, you can do with a box and ball. Put the questions in a box and have them pass the box
and ball to music. When the music stops, the student with the box takes a question and asks it to
the student with the ball. For higher level students you can let them make the questions
themselves.

Start the semester off with a writing assignment on what makes a good student. Have students
write in class the first day on this topic. They may brainstorm ideas first with each other and
teacher. Or they may do a quick write silently and then share their ideas with peers. Often they‘re
very surprised when their ideas are similar. The final essay on the topic can be due in a week.
With this method students are generating ideas at the beginning of term on how to succeed
academically while practicing writing skills.

In this activity, a student volunteers to be in the ―fishbowl‖: that is, she sits in the center of the
room with her classmates all around. She gives her ideas on a topic for several minutes. Her
peers should avoid asking questions until she is finished. They may take notes and write a
response. Another student may then volunteer to be in the fishbowl.
This is good practice for both speaking fluency and listening accuracy: since students aren‘t
engaged in exchange in the process, the listeners must focus solely on the speaker, who in turn
must focus completely on speaking clearly.

Hey, how do I download it? This is a warmer, and there is nothing to download. It's just an idea for your lesson, not a worksheet.
As a warm-up after doing a reading at home, have students start by writing a double-entry
journal: first a summary of the reading and then their response to and/or critique of the reading.
Students can fold a piece of paper in half and devote the first half to the summary and the second
to the critique.
They can then share their journal with a peer before turning it in. With this activity students, as
well as the teacher, get an idea of their own understanding of the reading, through their
summaries and how well they coincide with their peers‘. Students are also developing valuable
skills in responding to reading.

marked copy. Also encourage students to take marginal notes. Discuss the purpose of marking
text: if they underline and annotate their text, they are building their own study guide into to go
back and review at test time. After they are finished marking their texts, students can compare
their annotation to a peer‘s, but emphasize they won‘t be the same.
With this strategy, students are learning a valuable study skill as well as extending practice with
a particular text.

students can then work together to complete their plans.
This provides practice in speaking skills, group work, vocabulary, and critical thinking in the
planning of the house.

After introducing a new topic, have students write keywords related to the topic onto sticky notes
and organize them in a flow chart on a large poster board. For large classes, students can be
broken into smaller groups, each working on their own charts; smaller classes can work together
on one chart.
This strategy not only provides valuable review of the topic and its vocabulary but also speaking
skills and group work practice. In the end, students will have a graphic organizer of key course
concepts to put on the wall and refer to during this unit of instruction.

After returning student compositions, take some time to review the marks on student papers that
they often ignore.
―How many students see ‗R‘ on their papers?‖ the teacher can ask. Quite a few students will
probably respond affirmatively. ―What does ‗R‘ mean?‖ This will probably send some students
digging for the list of editing marks the teacher gave them at the beginning of the term.
After it is established ‗R‘ means ―run-on,‖ the teacher can follow up by writing several run-on
sentences on the board and discussing why they are run-ons and how to correct them.
This teaches several things: that the marks teachers put on student papers mean something, how
to read the editing marks, and how to use them to edit work.

Hey, how do I download it? This is a warmer, and there is nothing to download. It's just an idea for your lesson, not a worksheet.
A good warmer is to look around at the signs that have probably been posted on the walls of the
class or its halls and have students consider their meanings. Often students have misconceptions
about the true meaning of such signs. For example, a student might think a sign reading ―Thank
You for Not Smoking‖ is expressing appreciation for the act of refraining from smoking.
This is actually a good opportunity for a lesson in pragmatics, or how language is used to get
people to act. The teacher can point out that actually the sign is not really an expression of
gratitude, even if it seems so with the use of ―thank you.‖ It‘s actually a polite directive: ―Don‘t
Smoke.‖ This becomes a lesson not only in how to decipher a specific sign but in pragmatics, or
how language is actually used to get others to act.

Hey, how do I download it? This is a warmer, and there is nothing to download. It's just an idea for your lesson, not a worksheet.
Make sure your students learn the days of the week in English with this simple game.
Have Ss sit in a circle around you. First say the days of the week yourself, maybe couple of
times. Do not write them down on the board though - wait until after the activity.
Now, say 'Monday' and point at one of the students. That student has to name the day after
Monday. Then you point at another student who has to name the following day, and so on. The
element of surprise is what students love, that is why this activity always works amazingly well.
Of course, once Ss are familiar with the days, all you do is increase the pace and start moving
your finger faster :) The faster the funnier!
Then you can do it backwards.
Then you can do a variation of this activity when you can a random day and point at a random
student who has to give the name of the following day - or the day before that.
PS: this can also be done with months, seasons, numbers (for lower levels). Remember - to keep
it fun you have to make sure the Ss are already familiar with what you're asking them.

to the words s/he wants to be revised. ie. This is something which is used for cutting wood. The
groups try to find the word and the secretaries write "axe".
When the teachers tells them Up,up,up, secretaries have to raise their cards. Each correct word is
10 points, spelling mistake 5 points.
