Simple and Popular ESL Sentence Game: "Bull's Eye"

Рет қаралды 178,463

2 жыл бұрын

Play this simple ESL sentence game to practice sentence structures. On the board, draw concentric circles, each worth certain points. Organize the students into teams, and each team takes turns to make sentences to get closer to the board so they can throw the soft toy at the circle. One sentence = one step!
Variation for higher grades: Tape lines on the floor of varying distances - one line for easy questions, another for medium questions, and the last one for hard questions. The line with the hard questions should be much closer to the board than the line with the easy questions. Each correctly answered question gets the student one step closer to the target. Great for reviews!
Your students are going to have a lot of fun playing this game! I guarantee it!!

I guess this is the mark of being a teacher when you get this video as a KZfaq recommendation :D But I am grateful for the algorithm. As a fellow male ESL teacher this is really inspiring. Although, I am still a rookie and quite envious at seeing how good you have the younglings under control. Sometimes I feel like I am wrestling with a force of nature when it is the younger classes... Your way of teaching is definitely something I will strive to move toward. Even when it is sometimes so overwhelming.

Wow, thanks! Your comment means the world to me. Classroom management and short attention spans are two things we all struggle with in large classes but, eventually, we all learn to pace our classes just right. Have faith in yourself. It is just a matter of time you spend in your classroom. Experience matters! :))

Haha. :)) I am way too busy to do the DELTA. Plus, I know that CELTA/DELTA focuses primarily on adults and I am teaching the little ones. One of the teachers I am friends with took the CELTA course and it had very little practical application because it was detached from real-life lessons by light years. Sorry, Cambridge! Teaching native speakers and ESL or L2 learners are two VERY different worlds. That is exactly why there are TESOL or TEFL majors at the universities.

However, there are all kinds of students and, in my opinion, at the end of the day, what you get out of your teaching is what you put in. If you work hard and conduct yourself in a professional manner, you'll earn the respect of your students. I am not saying it applies to everyone; I'm just sharing what I have learned as a foreigner working in China.
