ILA – Warmers and Fillers

Who this book is for?

This book has been written to help provide teachers with a wide repertoire of games and activities to begin classes and add to the lesson outcomes and aims. These suggested activities are presented in order for you to have more opportunities to achieve the language aims of your lessons and to help create a positive, fun, learning environment.

What is a warmer?

An activity designed to get things started, wake up tired students (and teachers) and prepare brains, mouths, ears and eyes for English.

What is a filler?

An activity you can add to a class because you have time to fill in a valuable way for the students, for example before the break or at the end of the lesson.

Categories

The categories used to help organize this book are rough guides to the activities.
Many of the activities can be varied for different language points.

Setting up warmers and fillers

Warmers and fillers are designed to be short. Spending too much time on these
reduces time available for actual teaching so these activities are designed to last no
more than 10 minutes.
The description of activities has been written to maximize student involvement. This
can be done by

  • Having teams instead of eliminating students.
  • Having as many teams as possible.
  • Having tasks for students when they are listening to each other.
