Lights, Grammar, Action! Ideas for Video projects


Hi guys as promised here are some project ideas that involve video.Most students now have smart phones with video devices and the technology to edit and make good videos. 

My top 5


  • TV NEWS REPORT -  whole class
            Image result for kids news report
Choose one or two anchors, and divide the rest of the class into groups of 2 or 3. Each group will create a news story (one sport.one weather etc) and then film them and put them all together! his is great to practice present perfect and past simple, and alot of fun!



  • TV ADVERTISEMENT - small groups

Students choose or design a product and then create a 1 minute advertisement to promote it. These can be funny and are a great way to practise modals verbs!


  • MUSIC VIDEO - small groups
Students choose a song and then create a music video to go with it, including acting at the start and at the end.

  • MINI FILM - small groups
Students create a dialougue of a short story and act it out to create a mini film. This can be great for further work including story boards. Great for students studying for exams which involve telling stories.



  • VIRAL VIDEOS
Great for teenagers! The students in small groups have to create a video using English in some way. They then have to try and make it go viral on youtube or social media. the team with the most hits gets a prize!

They are my top 5 video based projects.

Happy teaching!

I changed the font to black this time as people said the blue was difficult to read
