    Miladinović, MA
    A question for you
     How can we
    make
    classroom
    activities less
    artificial?
    Possible answers

     Motivate your students to


    communicate
     Communicate with a purpose
     Use a variety of language
     Teachers should be carefull
    when they corect their students
     Adapt the learning material
    Teaching English
     One of the challenges of teaching
    English as a foreign language (EFL) is
    the lack of appropriate instructional
    materials. A solution to the shortage of
    effective materials is the implementation
    of creative classroom activities that move
    beyond reliance on textbooks.
    ???

     Name some of the creative


    activities that can be used
    in teaching children of all
    age.
    Creative activities
    in ELT
     Games
     Rhymes
     Stories
     Posters
     Movements
     Acting
    What's the Question?
     Type of Activity: listening and speaking
     Purpose: review question forms previously studied in class
     Procedure:
    Form two teams
     Read an answer to a question and say, 'What's the
    question?' The fastest
    player to respond wins a
    point for her/his team. New
    contestants come to the
    front for a new round.

    Toilet Paper Icebreaker
     Level: Any Level
     This activity is used as a "getting to know you",
    icebreaker on the first day of class.
     Teacher takes the toilet paper roll and takes several
    squares of toilet paper, then hands the roll of toilet
    paper to a student. The teacher tells the student to take
    some, more than three.
     After everybody in the class has some
    paper, we count the squares we have,
    then we have to tell that many
    things about ourselves,
    in English.
    Chain Spelling
     Level: Easy to Medium
     The teacher gives a word and
    asks a student to spell it, and
    then a second student should say a word
    beginning with the last letter of the word given.
    The game continues until someone makes a
    mistake, that is, to pronounce the word
    incorrectly, misspell it or come up with a word
    that has been said already, then he/she is out.
    The last one remaining in the game is
    the winner.
    Bang Bang
     Level: Easy
     Divide the group into two teams.
    Explain that they are cowboys and
    they are involved in a duel. One student
    from each team comes to the front. Get them to
    pretend to draw their pistols. Say "how do you say..."
    and a word in their mother tongue. The first child to
    give the answer and then "bang bang", pretending to
    shoot his opponent is the winner. He remains standing
    and the other one sits down. I give 1 point for the right
    answer and 5 extra points if they manage
    to "kill" 4 opponents in a row.
    Describing
    Appearances
     Level: Easy to Medium
     Each student is then give one
    sheet of paper. One student sits at the front of a
    room. He/she describes a person and the rest
    of the class draws the person being described.
    Once the student has finished describing that
    person then he/she reveals who it is and each
    student shows his/her drawing.
    TASK
     Group or pair work
     Choose a topic
     Come up with one activity that you would organize
    as a teacher and present it later to your colleagues
     AGE: school children from 7 to 11
     The activity should have:
    the introductory part, the main part and a concluding
    part. Set time limits for each part.
    Thank you!
