 |
|
I fancy doing a lesson based on the World Cup but am struggling for ideas for my girl's high school students. Beyond letting them make their own English chants for the Korean team (they love singing ^^) I'm having a hard time coming up with activities they'd enjoy beyond adapting familiar games.
Any ideas?
Cheers |

There's any number of things you could do.
Turn it into a world geography lesson (I've been amazed/saddened by how little my students know of world geography)
Teach them about South Africa (assuming you haven't already)
Teach them football terminology (positions, rules, etc...)
Teach them about the history of the World Cup or just Football in general.
Have them do a Fantasy prediction game, ie. predict the final scores in the group stage, then at the end of the group stage whichever student(s) were most accurate get some kind of prize.
If you're allowed to give them homework divid them into groups and assign each group a nation that is participating at the world cup and have them do a research project/presentation (5min during the next class) on that nation (I would do South Korea as an example of what you expect from them the day you divid them up)
the possibilities are endless |

Jimskins,
We have a load of ready made games/projects on the World cup. Lots of other links to resources too. See World Cup Resources on EFL classroom 2.0.
This game has been doing the ELT rounds but I really like just playing a simple game of whiteboard soccer.
