In our 2014 lesson we decided to do something ´special` before our Xmas holidays .
So the first thing we did was to play a game which we had already planned two weeks before.
This game is similar to the ´Spanish invisible friend game`.
So students started the lesson exchanging cards and some chocolate. It was good fun and a lovely warm up activity which made them be relaxed and get to know their mates a bit more. At the end of this activicty , we all ate chocolate and even played jokes in English!
In the pic below you can see some of the Xmas cards from the 2 B1 group.
Then, once the atmosphere was relaxed , we started a speed dating activity which we had also planned a couple of weeks before. Ss had already worked on their questions and at the end of the lessons they handed them in to have them checked and marked.
It was indeed a really nice time which made me realise how much Englsih Ss can speak when they feel comfortable and at ease! Just making conversation and speaking as fluently as ever!
I also added a couple of photos of our speed dating activicties in both groups. It was great!!!
and ....finally a ver nice photo of my excellent Ss fom b1.1 and me!
