A bit of this, a bit of that Ready, steady, go - the power of warm-ups

Noughts & crosses

An old activity which can be used in class as a warm-up or revision exercise. It has a lot of different possibilities, not only practising vocabulary. Actually, you can revise anything you want with your students. You may ask them to give definitions, to make sentences, dialogues, or stories, to give one or five examples, to speak, or to write. You can practise all sorts of vocabulary or grammar, but also language functions or different skills. There are no limits here. And the best option is to ask your students to prepare their own games. Have fun.

2 in 1 – Vocab and Grammar Revision

www.pixabay.com

Another activity which can serve as a warm-up or the whole revision lesson. It’s all up to you. You can revise both vocabulary and grammar with your students at the same time.

First, show your students some examples (easier and more difficult ones are included in the presentation below) of definitions of words or phrases you want to revise – let the students guess them.

Secondly, ask your students to make definitions themselves and let their peers guess. You may ask them to make just one or two definitions if you want it to be just a warm-up; or more if it is to be a longer revision.

Then show the students these words in context and ask them to paraphrase the sentences, translate, fill in the gaps, whatever you want.

Finally, students are supposed to prepare their own paraphrases, translations, gap-filling tasks, etc with the words and phrases they prepared in stage one. Quite a challenge even for advanced learners.

Do you find this idea useful? Let me know in the comments.

This is a presentation on the revision of the following tenses: Future Simple, Future Intention and both Present Simple and Present Continuous in reference to the future. It is in the form of Mind Maps to be completed by your students. The students have to think about the usage, structure and characteristic words of each tense. Then there is some speaking practice.

This is the third part of the series. The first part is entitled Present Tenses, and the second one is called Past Tenses. You can find both parts in my shop. Hope you’ll like the whole pack.

CHRISTMAS TIME

www.pixabay.com

I’ve just gathered a few of my Christmas activities in one place for you to enjoy during your last lessons before or first lessons after Christmas. All of them can be found on wordwall. Short, quick, can be used as warm-ups, energizers or fillers. Suitable for teens and adults on different levels.

CHRISTMAS CATEGORIES

Students have to put the words and expressions into 4 different categories: Christmas decorations, traditions, food and winter time.

CHRISTMAS MATCHING

Students have to match the pictures to Christmas expressions.

CHRISTMAS QUIZ

Students have to choose the correct answer. It’s a typical vocabulary game.

CHRISTMAS PHRASAL CRAZE

This time we deal with grammar, and to be more precise with phrasal verbs. Definitely for more advanced students.

CHRISTMAS SPEAKING

And the last exercise is devoted entirely to speaking. Could be used as a typical work in pairs or speed dating activity.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I hope you will find those activities useful, still this year or maybe in the future. I’d like to wish you all the best. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Present Simple – jobs, routines and time

www.pixabay.com

This time I’ve created a lesson for lower levels. Although its main aim is to use Present Simple in statements, questions, and negations, it focuses mainly on speaking to make learning grammar more meaningful. Your students will talk about different jobs as well as describe other people’s and their own daily routines. They will also practice telling the time. The lesson is quite simple so it can be easily adjusted to your needs.

Mixed tenses and irregular verbs

Mixing may lead to outstanding results. Have a look at my newest short presentation on mixed tenses for lower levels. Good for the revision of the main English tenses and irregular verbs, especially for students preparing for different exams. The last part includes speaking practice and thus is more creative.
