Do you ever get bored in class ? Do your pupils ?
Games is the answer: indoors, outdoors, whatever is allowed in your school.
Here are a few ideas:
Bingo - to review basic sentence structure
Draw a 3 x 3 bingo board . ( You may sing the song Bingo while doing it. So what if it's about Bingo the dog ? ) Ask the pupils to draw the same in their notebooks.
Write down the words to place in their bingo board ( don't tell them the purpose of the game yet ).
The words are: I , He , You , have, has , am , is , are , smart , a pet , sitting .
Ask them to choose 9 words from this list of 1 words and write them on their bingo board in whichever order they choose.
After they have written down the words, explain how they 'get a bingo' : Tick the words the teacher says. If you have a straight line ( left to right, right to left , up-down , down-up , diagonal down or diagonal up) which forms a sentence ( a grammatical one ), that's a bingo.
Elicit examples from your pupils: I have a pet ; He has a pet ; You are smart ; I am sitting ( etc. )
It's up to you to decide if you will accept the sentence 'I am a pet'.
Say the words one by one. Be ready for the ear-splitting Indian war cry: Bingo !
( Some candy in your bag to reward winners, and losers, is a good idea, too. )
Have fun !
