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!

Kiss

HOLIDAYS

Hi everybody!

How are you? I´m fine because I finished the university and now I´m on holidays. Therefore, this is my topic.

To be on holidays is wonderfull, you have spare time for doing things you like.
For example some advantages are that you can go to the swimming pool, to the disco or to the beach. And the most important point you can sleep all the time you want. It´s great!.
Moreover the weather let you go out to the places without cold.

Spain is a good country for travelling because there are nice beachs and the weather is fantastic.

The worst point is and the end of the holidays, some researchs say that you can fall down, and I think .... it´s true. And you.

But no problem, now we must enjoy of the summer.

GOOD SUMMER.

KISS
