You will need two things.. a fly swapper... and a huge posterboard... big enough to write the words.. in... ok... spread them around....\n\nThen... the teacher will say the definition... and the person who has the 2 people wit fly swappers in front of the lines [there has to be two lines] will look for the word and hit it wit the fly swapper\n\n\nGREAT GAME

The best and most overlooked way to improve classroom education of any kind is to introduce the use of boardgames. I have taught for over ten years all over the world, and only when I use boardgames do students voluntarily insist on extending their classes for two, three, even four hours. Not only that, but they then show the most rapid improvement.\nCheck out the following websites for some useful background info.\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-1.html\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-2.html\n\nhttp://subscriptions.fasfind.com/wwwtools/m/208.cfm\n\nhttp://www.gama.org/uploads/nS/XX/nSXX7lbqv9r-V1glq3UvQg/GinEBrochure1.pdf\n\nGive it a try and you will be amazed. At least you will be helping to break the monopoly that the big textbook publishers have over the education industry.

There is so much you can do with your time at the end of a lesson that would FACILITATE learning, not just consume time.  I honestly can't believe that a teacher would even ask this question.  I would suggest that you have the students work together in groups to produce a game show like Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (using PowerPoint- you can find templates online), with word problems related to the unit you're studying.  Then, you could use those games to review concepts before the test.

I'm a teacher, too, and I like some of these ideas.  I made cartoony looking fruit faces on my color printer with the kids' names and laminated them and put holes in the top with a string.  I then put a plate with real fruits on it on each table (mine were square-not that it matters) Some of the fruits were cut up.  As children came into the room, I put the fruit necklaces on them and told them they had to find their new "bowl" and not to touch.  Everyone who "played nice" and followed all the rules got to share in the fruity snacks!  Now,  we use the necklaces on cubbies and chairs and for play teams and the like.  Other things could work with this method, too, like sports balls, cartoon characters, stuffed critters, etc.  You just need a good clip art pack!

I think a great how to speech is to show how to make origami.  It can be a little confusing to explain but if you're up for the challenge and pick something not too difficult, I think the class will like that.  Another idea would be to make something they could eat but it wouldn't require baking or cooking. Some treat like trail mix would be cool.  Good luck!

Try 'Dave's ESL Cafe'.  It is for both teachers and students of English and it contains games, puzzles, exercises and even lesson plans.  I'm an English teacher and I use it all the time.  I also think that it would be great for students to use by themselves.

Be creative and make learning fun! Like play educational games that will help your students not only get more involved, but they'll also be able to remember the material.

When I was in high school, my spanish teacher taught us the proper verb agreement by making a good sized 8 sided dice (dye?) On the dye there was a subject and a choice of 2 or 3 verbs. The teacher starts off the game by throwing the dye to a student, they roll the dye, say the question out loud, and then answer it. If they answer it correctly, they get to throw it to any student they want in the room, but if the student gets it wrong they give it back to the teacher. You could make an incentive for those who get it right in one try if you'd like, but we never got any lol.

If you want your students to start reading English FROM the first class (review your prepositions, there, teacher!), you need to surround them with English print.\n\nYou can start them with "echo" reading, where you all share the same text, you read a sentence out loud to them, they say it back to you....\n\nHave magazines with lots of pictures on hand, and have them search for articles using that day's vocabulary words.\n\nFind a translation into English of a well-known children's story from the students' country/culture. Read it aloud in English to them, using the pictures and already known vocabulary for them to recall the overall meaning of each step in the story.\n\nAnd so on.\n\nGood luck!
