USING TOYS TO REVISE VOCABULARY - NUMBERS

Some time ago I was looking for some toy for my best friend's son when I came across this lovely bingo toy. Being the teacher I am I immediately thought about my students and how I can use this in class. Of course there are many ways to play bingo, and you don't often need any special equipment but this toy made the revision of numbers all the more interesting.

Traffic signs - game - Learning can be fun!

This is another way on how you can revise vocabulary and have fun. Remember that you create the rules of the game, this is just one way how I do it with my students. You put pictures of the target vocabulary on the board ( in my case - traffic signs). Students work in groups and you give each group an equal number of pieces of paper with the name of a traffic sign written on it. You keep track of the time while each group- each member of the group runs to the board and sticks the name of the traffic sign under the correct picture. Now the catch is that the students don't only walk to the board or run, but they need to perform several movements on the way. You can come up with different ones. We usually do jumping up and down, running on one leg, etc....

Traffic signs ( listen and draw) - Learning can be fun!

In the fifth grade I have a unit on traffic signs. When we revise vocabulary I like doing this game. Students work in groups. You give them a piece of paper where they are expected to draw the traffic sign they hear. The group that finishes first is the winner. The good thing is that they have fun and you can do this with any vocabulary you like.
