Classroom Activities to Reinvigorate Senior High School Language Learning
In the dynamic world of senior high school language teaching, keeping students engaged and motivated is often a thrilling challenge. As educators, we understand that the key to successful learning lies in creating an atmosphere where students are not just participants but active enthusiasts. Here are some classroom activities designed to ignite the language classroom, bringing energy, excitement, and enthusiasm to senior high school students. From interactive games to creative exercises, we’ll delve into ways to make language learning an enjoyable and enriching experience.
FIND SOMEONE!
Target Group: 1st year
Difficulty Level: Basic Conversation
Activity Objective: To practice “follow-up” questions to be able to continue conversations
FIND SOMEONE! – Procedure
All students must move around the classroom asking classmates the questions. If their partner answers “yes”, they can write their partners names and ask them a “follow-up” question to continue the conversation.
Materials and Preparation
Copies of the worksheet “Find Someone!”, enough for one per student. The student receives the worksheet and is given 4-5 minutes to fill in the extra information needed for the questions and then moves around the classroom
Suggestions and Advice
The best advice is to perform several examples for different questions. The more imaginative the examples the more creative students will be. Also performing an example with a student in front of the class is a good idea. The second question “Is your birthday in August?”is a little tricky! The best way to get around this is to ask the whole class before the activity starts, if anyone raises their hand get the whole class to look at them and remember they must ask that person question 2.
