EVERYDAY GAMES IN ENGLISH

Classes are finishing but the emotion of learning new English words through practical activities is always ready.

1st Year Primary students have done a unit called “Play Time” where they have learnt about different ways to have fun in playgrounds, at home… in any place! 

In that unit, they have studied the English names for everyday games such as tag, hide and seek, skipping, climbing and hopscotch. And what could be the best way to learn them? Putting them into practice! Students have gone to their playground and they have played all these games. 

They had an incredible time learning English vocabulary!

PLAYING TABOO

During the process of learning a new language it is very common to see how students do not feel really confident when using it to express themselves. However, when they have to use it to play a game everything changes. 

From time to time students are asked to play some speaking games so they feel they can do it free of criticism or jokes about what they say, and the results are amazingly positive. Students voluntarily come out and talk in front of their whole class; they seem to do it with no effort at all, whereas they feel a bit inhibited with other activities that involve oral interaction. 

They all participate, laugh and have fun without realizing they are so motivated that they use the English language not only for academic purposes or to talk to their teachers, but also to communicate with their friends.

Enjoying our Learning!

As the weather is sunny and warm, our youngest pupils in school have chosen some toys from their class and gone out to the playground for learning. All of the toys have something in common: they are blue. Students have been playing with them while sitting on a bench, running outside and enjoying the fantastic spring day. They have had great fun!
