Enjoy all the freebies!  |
I am so happy to be part of this amazing blog hop! Some of the most awesome teacher have teamed up to make this happen.
Make sure to mark your calendars!
Exposing your students to a diverse vocabulary in class is very important, but it’s also important to remember that students need a lot of time to practice the content that the class is exploring.
I have been working hard to give my students space in my class for this kind of practice through activities that can give them enough structure and plenty of motivation. In my last blog post I shared an activity with you called “The Magic Tissue Box.” Now I am sharing another one called “Monos y Bananos.“
To create the props for the activity you will need clothes pins and pictures of monkeys and bananas.
Create small circles and paste the pictures on the circles. Once the pictures are ready, glue them on the pins.
How does the activity work?
Divide the class into two groups: Monos and Bananos.
Make sure every student has the picture.
You can ask the monos to ask questions related to one of your themes. Monos can start asking and bananos will answer and viceversa. You could ask your students to stay with the same partner or ask them to move around the room asking the question to students on the opposite team.
To make the activity more fun, every time a student ends up with a tissue, that student has to pretend to sneeze by saying “achís,” and the class responds by saying “salud.”
I wrote a review about RockAlingua a couple of weeks ago. Three lucky readers got RockAlingua’s awesome music CD. This time two lucky winners will get a one year membership access to the website. Through this winners, will get to have every single song, access to all the videos, worksheets, lyrics, games and pictures dictionaries. A song for every unit with tons of vocabulary and a lot of fun for your classes!
