SPEAKING ACTIVITIES

4. RELATIVE SPEAKING

There are 25 cards which have pictures about the vocabulary of jobs, places, machines and tools.

The teacher will give to her students’ one card which only the pupil who has it will be able to see. They will have to cover them.

One by one the students will have to explain and describe their cards and, the other pupils will have to guess the answer. The first player who guesses it correctly will get the card. If anybody can guess, the teacher will get the card.

Who has more cards at the end of the game, will be the winner.

9. FAIRYTALE DOMINOES

Before doing the next activity, we will have to explain the vocabulary which is going to appear in this exercise: princes, wolf, ring, eagle, frog…

When the teacher knows that everybody has understood the words she will be able to star with this game.

In this activity, there are different cards with this vocabulary and the teacher will distribute them to her pupils.

When everybody has their cards, the teacher will choose one of the students and he will start with the story.

What they have to do is, with their cards, make a domino based on one story. The first one will have to invent the beginning of the story and he will have to end it with a word which appears in other student´s card. And the child, who has that card, will have to continue with the story.

To help them, the teacher will have to put in the blackboard the pictures which appear in each card.

36. HEADS, BODY AND LEGS

In this activity we have nine bodies which are divided in three parts: their heads, their bodies and their legs. They are divided with a line so before doing the activity the teacher will have to cut this line.

After that, the teacher will give to her pupils the different part that she has and her students will have to walk around the class describing the person who they are looking for.

They should not show the card to each other until they are almost sure that they have found the right card.

The first trio who have the correct body, will are who win.

Finally, when everybody has found their bodies, each group will describe their pictures for the rest of the class.

27. WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE YOUR FATHER?

We are going to do this activity not only to improve our children´s speaking but also because is a good way to meet our schoolmates.

In this activity we have two types of cards. The first one only has periods of time and, the second one, has different experiences.

The teacher will have to separate her children in two groups which have those cards.

The groups which have the experiences cards will have to question to the other group when they have done what they have in their cards. And, the other group will have to answer using their cards too.

The player who has asked must decide if the answer is plausible or not according to their knowledge of the player.

If the answer isn´t plausible they have to looking for the correct one.

                     

31. WHERE AM I?

There are 16 cards of different places to do this activity. As the same as the first activity, the teacher will have to give to her pupils one of them.

When everybody has one card will have to describe one by one the place which appears in the card and the other children will have to guess the name of the place.
