Comparative and superlative cards

Hi!

He preparado unas tarjetas para practicar de manera oral el comparativo y el superlativo.

 
Podemos jugar de varias maneras. En gran grupo, cada alumno tiene una carta, se presentan y dan uno de los datos, por ejemplo la edad. Luego se ordenan en fila y el más joven debe decir "I'm the youngest" y el más mayor debe decir "I'm the oldest". Y vamos haciendo lo mismo con el resto de datos que aparecen en las tarjetas.

También podemos hacerlo en pequeño grupo, con la misma dinámica, y el profesor puede ir pasando por los grupos para ayudar o corregir a los alumnos.

Espero que os gusten y os resulten útiles. SI hacéis click en la imagen de aquí abajo os las podéis descargar.

 

Who am I?

Hi!

El otro día utilicé este juego de Tiger:

Tiene muchas plantillas con diferentes animales de colores, con accesorios...Total, que algunos fast finishers se pusieron a jugar el otro día, y me di cuenta de que no recordaban muy bien las estructuras para preguntar ni alguna de las palabras, así que para que puedan ser más autónomos y asegurarme que hablan en inglés, he preparado esta chuletilla:

He hecho varias copias y las he plastificado para que aguanten más.

Os dejo el material aquí para que lo descarguéis:

 Espero que os guste y os resulte útil. Si la usáis o se os ocurre alguna mejora o sugerencia dejadme vuestro feedback. 😉

Hunting Bugs

Hi!

Como la primavera está a la vuelta de la esquina hoy os traigo un juego para hacer con los más peques.

Se trata de "Hunting Bugs" y lo único que necesitamos es un cazamariposas y flahscards de insectos.

Para jugar simplemente lanzamos las flashcards y una vez lanzadas contamos cuántas hemos "cazado" y nombramos los bichitos.

Es muy similar a la actividad que puse el otro día "Catch the numbers", y la podemos usar con otros materiales o vocabulario.

Espero que os guste y os resulte útil. Si lo hacéis con vuestros alumnos contadme qué tal. 😉

Catch the numbers

Hello!

Hoy os traigo un juego para infantil. Yo lo llamo "Catch the numbers". 

¿Qué necesitamos? 
Pues un recipiente, caja, cesta, cubo...lo que tengáis a mano y números. En este caso yo he utilizado números de goma, pero podéis utilizar flashcards también.

Roll a dice

Hi!

os cuento cómo uso la actividad "Roll a dice" en mis clases.

Tiger Cards

¿Conocéis la tienda Tiger? Seguro que muchos de vosotros sí, y seguro que al igual que a mí os encanta! 😍

De vez en cuando me paso y siempre cargo con algo...muchas veces no sé muy bien para qué lo usaré, pero por si acaso...seguro que alguna utilidad le encuentro...

Pues este verano compré estas tarjetas...entre otras cosas:

Roll a dice: jobs and routines

The Year 4 students are learning how to make sentences using the present simple and vocabulary about jobs. In order to help them construct sentences I have used the activity "Roll a dice", which I have explained in the previous post.

This is the worksheet they have used:

They have been completely engaged during the activity:

They wanted to do more and more sentences!

Excellent!!

Roll a dice: around the city

In Unit 4, the Year 6 students are learning how to make sentences using the past tense of the verb To Be, places around the city and time.

Some time ago I bought these wonderful foam dice, and I wanted to use them in my lessons:

So I have prepared a grammar game to construct sentences using a dice:

To make sentences, the students have to roll the dice one time for each part of the sentence and use the correct form of the verb To Be in the past: person, place, action, company, when and at what time.

For exemple: You were at the shopping center climbing a tree with Justin Biever three days ago at twenty past four.

 They've had a great time making very funny nonsense sentences!

The Tower Game

The Tower Game is a fantastic activity to reinforce vocabulary and grammar structures in all year groups.

With Pre-primary students I use it in 2 different ways: either I say a word and they have to pick the correct flashcard or I show them a flashcard and they say the word.

In the second picture, the Year 4 students are playing to learn how to describe people and construct affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences.

To play, I show a flashcard to a student, and he or she has to say the correct sentence in order to get a glass to make the tower.  

If I say "affirmative" they have to say "She/He has got (curly) hair; if I say "negative" they have to say "She/He hasn't got (short) hair"; and if I say "interrogative" they have to say "Has she/he got straight hair?"

The students take turns to say the sentences and add a glass and a card to the tower, to see how high they can go.

They love this game, and they have lots of practice in a funny way :)

Wow!!

Playing with the Interactive Whiteboard

We've got an Interactive Whiteboard in the English classroom and we use it a lot, mostly to play interactive games to revise the vocabulary and the structures of each unit.

Here you can see the Year 3 students playing some of the games:

1. Image select game: in this game the students have to select the correct word for each picture

2. Anagram game: in this game the children have to arrange the letters to form a word or a sentence

3. Tomato splash game: in this game the students have to select the correct letters in order to write a word or a sentence

We have lots of fun!

Sentence domino

The Year 4 students are learning about routines before going to bed. 

To practice them they have been playing a broken sentence domino: with one half of a sentence in a part and one half of other sentence in the other part, they had to find the two parts to make a complete sentence such as "I read a book" or "I have a shower" among others.

Food domino

The Year 3 students have made a food domino and they have been playing to practice the structures "I like/I don't like". 

They had a great time playing!

There is - There are

In Unit 4, the Year 6 students are learning to use the structures "There is" and "There are" in affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences.

To learn it better they have been playing a guessing game in pairs. One member of the pair had to make a picture using the cards provided and the other member had to make questions to build up the same picture. Then they change roles.

Is he...?

In Unit 3, the Year 4 students are learning actions: running, swimming, jumping, walking, riding a horse, climbing a tree, throwing a ball and catching a ball.

To practice these structures they have been playing a guessing game. In pairs they have to guess what the boy in the picture is doing by asking: Is he walking?, Is he jumping?, etc.
