Hi dear friends:
The aim is to revise the past simple tense.
I have tried some of the games that Dr. Steven has given us. Do you remember the game about a group of six each three have the name of fruit? I used it in my classes and it was very wonderful.
In this picture you can see the students while doing the game. I was holding the camera. I asked three students to come and I gave them the name apple. And I asked other three and I gave them the name banana. And I asked them to be seated in seats in front of the class. Then I began telling a story in the past simple tense. I told them that while telling the story I’m going to mansion the name of a fruit so they have to change seats and I’m going to take one of your seats. So the one who will remain without a seat is going to tell us a story in the about something happened to him in the past.
I began the game and at the begging the students were puzzled and after that they got the idea. They enjoyed the game very much. I tried it with another class as you can see from the pictures.
After doing this game each week my students ask me about new games we can do in the class. Nearly I’m trying everything we learned in USA with my students and they enjoy very much. Can Dr. Steven send us more games I didn’t expect that the students will get benefit from these games in addition to the amount of amusement and joy that my students feel when they’re in the game.
Next week I’m going to try using drama with them to dramatis some of their book’s lessons.
Thanks very much.
I hope to read your comment and advices about using these techniques.
