And while it isn't strictly TPR, you can expand these lessons a bit by asking questions...

Quote:
I'm rubbing my eyes.
I'm yawning.
I'm stretching.


Are you rubbing your eyes/Is she rubbing her eyes?/Did you rub your eyes?/Were you rubbing your eyes at 6:02?/ What were you doing at 6:02?/What will you be doing at...?

It's just actions. Do you really need a pre-made lesson plan for that?

You can just ad lib it, it is better if you have pictures etc. so the students know what you are talking about. For example, if your lesson is vocabulary for the post office, it helps to have things like envelopes, stamps, boxes...(or pictures).

Oh that makes sense. When I taught elementary I only used TPR as a 5-10 minute warm-up. Do people actually use it for entire lessons?

When I worked in Taiwan, TPR is ALL we were allowed to use. That was carrying a good thing WAY too far.

Thanks! It worked that time. I tried it several times before and got an error message each time. Weird. Thanks for the links.
