Care to provide their ages, levels, and the amount of time (hrs per day and total days) you have??

Thanks for your replay. The ages will be middle school with a intermediated level of the language. I will have them 1 hour a day for three days a week, total of 12 days. I was thinking of some arts and crafts, or creative writing, or games or even a one act play, but was wondering if anything worked well in the past.

Thanks for your imput.

You can always "cook" sandwiches and get creative.

here's an idea for young kids-

Travel/world Day:

-Have kids start by making flags (paper, color pencils, or paint,) of different English speaking countries. Give them a small picture print out of flag- have them draw, and color.

-Make 'passports' where there is room for the kids to glue a mini world map inside- fill out information about themselves (Here's where you teach vocab. like 'where are you from?' 'how old are you?' 'what is your name?,' ect.) For the section for their picture- have them draw their passport picture. get little stamps for passport.

-set up other rooms in school (if they let you,) to represent different countries. your class will 'travel' to each country together (use a string and each kid hangs on to the string- that's your airplane.) when you get to each country- put a sticker on the country in a mini world map in the passport to show you were there. talk about each country- or have games set up for each one. example: for egypt i made the kids learn the 'egyptian dance.'

-then afterwards, I had the kids do water color of a world map- and meanwhile you can do face paint of different flags. have a selection to choose from and one by one you can paint a mini flag of their choice. most of them pick korea- but they seem really into it.

Root,

That is a great idea and also teaches something very valuable for kids, cultural/geographic knowledge. I also like having students make travel posters. They draw the famous things, write slogans etc...all trying to convince travels to visit their country. Vote where you want to go, afterwards....

You can also set it up so that as the kids go to each classroom, they take a quiz about that country, get a score as a group and the top score overall wins.

I also have some nice country presentation sheets, where students research basic info. about countries, in my teachers folder , in the batcave below.

For france I'm having them draw black moustaches on their faces with water color. I just couldn't help myself.
