ETAPA 2 EXTRA ACTIVITIES

Hello! If you need more activities to practice the lesson in this unit: People and animals, you can find some in this place. These games are fun and will help the students to learn the verb “can”, adjectives, and verb “to be”.

You can also share your experience with the group by sending us an e-mail with photos, audios, videos or comments regarding these activities.

LOOKING FOR QUALITIES

This activity will invite the students to describe their partners by using adjectives in sentences and will improve their self-esteem.

  1. We all have good qualities as human being, whether they are emotional, spiritual or physical, we all have them. In this activity our aim is to discover some of these qualities that we may forget we have sometimes.

  2. Get into groups of five or six students and sit around in a circle.

  3. Give a sheet of paper to every member of your small group and write your name at the top.

  4. Put all the sheets of paper in a pile in the centre of the group.

  5. Pick one sheet of paper that is not your own and think of at least two good qualities of the person whose paper you now have.

  6. Once you have finished writing their qualities, pass the paper to the person sitting on your right.

  7. Now you will have a new piece of paper from the person that handed it to you on your left. Think of at least two good qualities of the owner of the sheet of paper you now have. Once you have finished, pass it on to your right.


The point is to pass all the sheets of paper around the circle once, therefore, when you get your own piece of paper you must have comments on your good qualities from everyone in your group.

GUESS WHO? GAME

**This game can apply with the first stage, describing people, or with the second one, describing creepy creatures**

Are you observant? How many things are around you dalily? Maybe you have noticed that some of your classmates are taller than last year, that there is boy with big brown eyes and other who has blond hair. We have specific characteristics, which make us different from others. So that, we want you to watch carefully around yourself and play a funny game to check how observant you are.

Instructions for the teacher

  1. Number all the students in 1 and 2. Or if you rather, you can divide the class in two parts by gender or sit places. (Make all the students with number one sit together if so. The students who were numbered “two” sit together, and so on).

    If you prefer to mix them up by numbers, alphabetical order, or any other way you can think of, feel free to do so, the important thing is not to let the same people sit together all the time, and try to get friends to sit in different groups, that way they will feel less self conscious and they will also get to know their classmates better.
  2. Make teams and tell them the instructions: each team must choose 5 characters and secretly write them in a little paper for the other team to guess them. The characters can be singers, cartoons, actors, teachers or one of the classmates.
  3. The teams must choose one of the members to come forward, receive the paper with the person and say “yes, she/he is” or “no, she/he is not”, while the rest of the team try to guess who is the mysterious person.



    Rules:

    • The member elected, in front the class, can only answer “yes, she/he is” or “no, she/he is not”.

    • The team can ask only one question per member in order to guess. (we recommend some: is he/she an artist (classmate, teacher)?, is he a man?, is he/she tall?, etc.)

    • The team who guess more mysterious people, wins.

  4. When they have finished, Let the class get back together and have a discussion about what was the most interesting things they found out about their fellow classmates.

  5. Last but not least, we will talk about some of these questions in the forum so they can share their opinions with the rest of the students.

Have fun! Let them Laugh and talk (as long as it is done in English!) .
