 Posted: Fri Aug 10, 2007 12:23 am Post subject: Activities for private classes at our school on Saturday |
 |
|
My boss is going to allow us to teach privates on Saturdays. We are going
to advertise the class as an activity class.
We are looking for things to do. Something fun; no textbooks. Speaking based activities that we wouldn't do during the regular week.
We came up with scrabble, movie screening, norae bong, cards, drama and Uno.
Do have any suggestions?
Thanks

Twister, but make your own mat. Get yourself four large pieces of poster board. On each piece, draw a number of the following figures: circle, triangle, square. Ensure you draw them in different colors: red, blue, green. In each figure, put in an English word. Join the posterboard pieces together (2x2). Don't worry about using a spinner for calling. Have a couple of kids stand at either end. Call out body part (left hand, right hand, left foot, right foot) and then either a color, a figure, a word, or a category of word.
Make sure you have the kids do the calling and that they don't try to do it in Korean. |

Nice activity, I plan on using that!
I was thinking of how to do a scavenger hunt in the room for my summer camps (they didn't want the kids running around outside getting hurt or something) and I came up with a simple station game instead: I use 4 stations: one on each wall. I just build a scaffolded series of activities that the groups must get through: station 1: each students picks a flashcard and pronounces the word, station 2: they recognize the flashcard word from station 1 and draw a picture of it. Station 3: read the word/phrase/sentence and report it to the teacher/head student. Station 4: A pattern practice, or if their level permits: a general mingler, or Q&A.
Add an extra station for singing. I was surprised how well the students remembered the songs.
I used the classroom timer from Ddeubel's site, and the kids enjoyed it and the competition wasn't too fierce, especially if you make sure the groups understand about helping each other. |
