Activity of the week!

Here is my first 'Activity of the week' of the new semester!

Designed to help enliven those long classroom hours with activities which students will find engaging and fun whilst practising the target language. I creatively refer to this game as 'sticky on the head mingle' and was inspired by a Christmas day game my family often play after a huge festive dinner.

I use it to practice personality adjectives.

Materials : Sticky labels

Get the students to write a personality adjective you have studied on a sticky label and apply it to the forehead of the person next to them. 
When all the students have done this, they mingle around the room.
When they encounter another student they make a sentence to describe the other person's word by telling them about their behaviour.

For example, ipon meeting a student with 'generous' on their head, they would say something like "Oh, thank you for the money you gave me"  or "You always give good presents." The students wander around commenting on each other's personalities.

At the end, the student guess which personality trait they had.  Simple!

It can also be adapted for many other vocabulary sets.

These secondary pre-intermediate students loved it!
