You can encourage your students to look up unknown words and practice the correct pronunciation. Remember to give them time to ask you questions about the content or unknown grammar.

Students, and children, in particular, retain language through repetition. Saying the same lines over and over may seem boring to us as adults, but the better your students get at memorizing their lines, the more motivated they will be to repeat and practice them.

During the practices, try to mix things up and have students try different acting methods and movements. If they can still remember their lines, chances are that they are now storing them in their long-term memory. You can read more about ESL games and activities for kids and teens here.

By repeating and practicing the lines, and also by experimenting with the language, your students can build their fluency in English. Being able to use language in a flexible way further supports fluency. Working as a team and being able to use their creativity and imagination can be a very rewarding activity for students. No matter what age or level you teach, this technique offers a creative way to give students the opportunity to perform, play, and practice their language skills in context.

Students must draw something else—maybe a shelf, reading glasses or Harry Potter and Dr. Remind your students to use complete sentences in the target language when guessing i. When someone guesses the correct word, pull aside two more people and begin again. You could give points for each team, but the best way to do this activity is to keep the students moving and changing words. This activity should be done quickly and with mounting excitement and noise level; everyone should be talking at once.

In this activity , students will be acting out different objects that are characteristic of a certain place. Though they are miming the objects, students should also use verbal language related to the room.

For example, if they are in an operating room, there will be a table, the instruments, the lighting. Use your playing cards to make pairs or trios. Get the first pair or trio up on stage and give them a place card. Give them a minute to organize their ideas together. They now have two minutes to show the rest of the students where they are by arranging the table and chairs, using the props and having a relevant conversation in the target language.

They can not directly name the place they are in , but instead students must act within it. When the timer goes off, ask the audience to guess, in complete sentences, where the scene just took place.

Applaud and change pairs. This activity is based on the mirror mimicking game many of us have played as children.

Pair up students with the playing cards, like you did for Gibberish. Call on the first pair to center stage. During one minute, you will point to questions on the board, which student A who can see them will ask aloud. As student A speaks, student B tries to say the same question as close to the same time as their partner.

Point to questions randomly, but match the answer to the question. Once every pair has done two minutes, begin the second round. This time, you will point to questions at random, but you will not match the answers.

Older posts. Close this module. Sit in a circle. One person starts a sound. The next person picks it up and it travels around the circle so it becomes a ribbon of sound. Each person should pick it up and pass it on as quickly as possible. Transform it into another sound-with the person next to the one who started the first sound. Choose partners. Sit back to back on the floor, legs straight out in front.

Interlock arms. Children imagine that strings are attached to various parts of their bodies. They move about the room led by that part. Example: right thumb, nose, knees. Eyelashes etc. Form a circle. Each person chooses one other person in the circle to secretly watch. Everyone closes their eyes and strikes a pose. In posture, pose, stance, etc. Watch as the whole team morphs into the same pose! This exercise demonstrate to children how important it is to project their voices. Place three bean bags in front of a row of children.

One about 10 feet away from them — the second about 20 feet away, the third about feet away this can obviously be changed to suit the physical environment of the class.

Ask each child to look directly at the first bean bag, say their name and the name of their favorite animal. Instruct them to say the exact same things to the second bean bag. Would they speak with the same volume? When asked to address the third bean bag, they obviously should be projecting their voices as loud as they can. After the entire group has addressed the bean bags, let them know they were really acting in a play just then — reaching the first three rows, the middle rows, and the back rows of the theater.

Good for Day Camp , in stages for an event …and those full days of programming. In the planning stages, have participants decide on a theme for the show such as fall fashions or holiday outfits ; plan music and which roles children will play.
