What do young learners

need

Exercise or activity

not exercise-based

BUT

ACTIVITY-BASED

The language lessons are

Remember!Children don’t learn a language for

future useThey learn the language to be used

immediately

Warming up activities are very important at the start of the

lesson for the following purposes:to set the tone of the lesson. to get students to begin thinking

and focusing on English. to provide a transition into the

topic. 

True False/ Stand Up Sit Down activityStand up for “true” (or stay standing up

if the previous sentence was true too) and sit down (or stay sitting down) for false.

The stages you can go through when you learn a rhyme (fingerplay, action chant)

1. Copy the actions. (Copy me.)2. Join in with some words. (Copy me and

say these words: ...)3. Join in with all the words. (Let's do it

together.)4. Do it alone. (Now you do it.)5. You may add your own lines.

Running Dictation Activity

A running dictation is a classic ESL game because

it’s fungets students out of their seats

and engages reading, writing, listening and speaking skills

can be used in a variety of contexts!

http://www.learnenglish.de/teachers/rundictation.html

http://edition.tefl.net/ideas/games/running-dictations-in-efl

Set-up: Prepare a short text (3-5 sentences). Print a copy in a 16-point font for easy reading. Place the text at the front of the room. Playing outside, post the texts on a fence or a wall and create an obstacle course for the runners. It remains there throughout the activity. (For larger classes, you may need 3-5 copies placed around the room.)

Groups: Students can work in pairs or threes. One person is the designated writer. The other partner is the runner. They can only read and speak. (If you have groups of three, the two non-writers take turns being the runner.)

Action: When time starts, one runner from each group “runs” to the front and memorizes as much text as possible. Require the runners to move in a certain way (e.g.: hop on one foot, gallop, walk backwards, etc.). He or she then returns to the writer and reports what was read. The writer writes. This continues until the text is complete.

Rules: The students should try to reproduce the text exactly – including correct spelling and punctuation. The first group to finish with a correct text is the winner.
