THE GAMES
HI everybody!
This week i´d like to speak about teaching through games in primary school. I think this topic is interesting for future teachers.
When we work with pupils we must make the lessons very interesting, for example we have to use games. With games children are concentrate and they learn more and better. Don´t you?.
Some characteristic of the games are:
1 They provide extra motivation to learn the target language.
2 This games are according with theirs ages.
3The lessons become less teacher orientated and more student orientated
4 the games help to create a good atmosphere between pupils.
5 Choose a game that will let them practice their target language.
A new game is Mushi Battle Game
The instructions are ::
First of all you need some cards with pictures of various creepy crawlies on them, you can use your own.
The steps:
1. Give each kid 4 or 5 mini cards.
2. They fan them out so other people can see how many cards they have, but can't see what's on them
.3. The children find a partner.
4. The first kid asks "What's that?" whilst pointing to one of their opponent's cards.
5. The other kid answers
.6. The kid who just answered points to one of the cards from the first kid and asks "What's that?"
7. This child answers.
9. The winner takes the loser's card and adds it to their fan of cards.
10. They go around asking different people until someone has a full set of 8 cards, then they are the winner!!
11. If anyone runs out of cards, they come and ask the teacher who has an infinite supply!
