The Chain
Really simple but fun
warmer today...
At the start of the
class, get your
students sitting in a
circle. One student
starts by saying a word.
The next student must
say a word beginning
with the last letter of
the first student's word.
The next student must then say a word starting with the last letter of the
previous and so on and so on, around the circle.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Love
Elephant
Talking
Good
Daydream
, etc, etc...
The object of this game is just to get the class warmed up and using a little
English before you start your 'real' class, so just have some fun with this.
See if you can make it three times around the circle! Lower levels or younger
classes can use their course books to help.
Tip: Keep this light-hearted. Be ready to help student's if they can't think up of a
word. Always keep your students' confidence high.

Go Bananas!
This is a really funny classroom game
which your classes are guaranteed not to
have done before. It is a mix of a sentence
structure game and an unusual Indian sport
called Kabadi!
1. Get a sentence or two of a recently studied topic, or just something level appropriate.
2. Photocopy this out so you have the same sentence twice. Try to make the words nice
and big, at least size 48 on Word.
3. Cut the sentences up into individual words and put them into two separate
envelopes. Both envelopes should contain all the words needed to make the original
sentence.
4. Divide the class into two teams. If you have a big class, make three teams and three
envelopes.
5. Put all envelopes on a table at the other end of the classroom.

How to Play
1. Get teams into lines
2. One student from each team must race out to try to put the sentence into order at
the table. However, while they do this, they must not breathe in!! To prove they are not
cheating, they must constantly say 'Banana' over and over and over again!
3. As soon as they can't go on, they must run back to their line and tag-in the next
student who runs in and takes over from where the last student left off. Again, they
must say 'Banana' constantly until they can not go on and have to return for the next
person. The first team to get all of their words into the correct order wins!

Tips: Don't make the sentence too short, otherwise the first few students will finish it
with the rest of the class not getting a go and feel disappointed. Similarly, don't make it
too long that it becomes an impossible exercise. You may have to experiment a little
here to get the right balance. Perhaps go to the class armed with two sentences.
If you plan to use this with multiple classes, consider using
a different coloured font for each team. That way, at the end of the class, you
can whack all the words back into the right envelopes according to colour rather
than having a big, mixed-up pile of random words to sort out on your precious break
between classes! No colour printer? No worries, simply run a different coloured feltpen on the reverse side of the sentence before you cut it up.

Human Bingo!
This is a brilliant warmer which
will get your class speaking
straight away!
The best thing is that you can
adjust the difficulty to suit any
age or any level...so you can all
use this today!

1. Give each student a sheet of A4 paper.

2. Each student uses a pen to divide the sheet into 9 sections, like a naughts and
crosses board - two lines across, two lines going down.
3. The teacher writes around 15 questions of the board to suit the level of the students.
Easy for small kids, harder for advanced students.
4. Each student chooses eight of these questions and writes the questions in the
squares, leaving the centre space blank.
5. Students then must speak to eight different students to get their answers. These
answers are written on their paper.
6. At the end of the activity, have feedback. For example:

Teacher: Who spoke to Lucky?

Teacher: What did Lucky say?

Student 1: Me

Student 1: She wakes up at 7am

Student 2: I did

Student 2: Supermarket, greengrocers,

bookstore

Teacher: What did you ask her?

Student 1: What time do you wake up?
Student 2: Tell me three shops.

Activity of the Day:

Word Grab!
This is the perfect activity to lift a
dreary class!
Choose a suitable song (not too fast),
and choose about 15 keywords from
the song. Write the words in big
letters on paper and stick the words
on the blackboard.
Also write about 5 words which don't appear in the song and put these on the board
too. Be sure to put all the words in a random order.
Get the students into two teams and have them form lines.
Play the song and the first student of each line has to run out and grab the word
they hear off the board. If you are worried about your words getting totally wrecked,
then just have students point to the correct word. (Each student only gets one try,
they can't just point at all of the words until they get the right one!)
This is a great game which is good for listening practice. If you need to, you can play
the song twice or pause it where needed.
Tip: Remember if you choose your one of favourite songs, which you have listened to
1000 times, then this will seem easy to you. Remember that this could be the first
time your students may have listened to it and they won't know what is coming next in
the same way you do! Take it easy with your students...

Lottery Winner!!!
*Note: You can do one, two or all of
these activities depending on what
you want to do and how much time
you have)
Lead in (5-10 minutes)
- Ask class if they know what a
lottery is. Ask if there is a lottery in
China (there is, Sports Lottery, Welfare
Lottery, etc). Do any of your students
play? Why/why not? Have they won any
money before? How much?
Activity #1 - The Newspaper Interview (30-45 mins)
- Get a photo of a lottery winner. Show the class and tell your students that they have
just won $200,000,000. Ask your students how he/she might feel. What do you think
he/she would spend the money on? Get ideas.
- Tell students that they are newspaper reporters and have to get an interview with
the lottery winner. Have pairs of students think of 4-5 questions they would ask the
lottery winner for the newspaper. When finished, interview different pairs of students.
Activity #2 (20-30 mins) - What to do with the Money?
Put students into groups to decide the best way to spend the money and present it to
the class. They can either get mansions, golf courses in their back garden, etc, or can
be more imaginative or charitable, up to the groups!
Activity #3 Lottery Draw! (15-20 mins)
- Before class, go to the shop and buy 12 ping-pong balls and a black permanent
marker. Write numbers 1-12 on each ball, and put them in a bag. If your students want
to, collect 0.5RMB from each student (or 1RMB if they are high-rollers haha) and hand
them each a slip of paper. Tell them that they are going to play the lottery. Each
student must write three numbers from 1-12 on their paper. Go around and check
each paper to see that it has been done right.
- Tell the class that they will play the lottery. You will pick three balls from the bag. If
they can match two numbers, they win 2RMB. If they match all three, then they win the
pot!! (You can usually play 3-4 games before the pot is empty). Ask the winners and
losers how they felt afterwards.

The Toilet Roll!

This activity is great as a
warmer or a first
class icebreaker.
By a toilet roll from the shop and
bring it to class.

Sit everyone in a circle and hand the toilet roll to the first student. The toilet roll is
obviously a very unusual thing to bring to class, so everyone will be wondering what is
going on and you'll have their interest.
Give the roll to the first student and tell them to tear off between 1-4 sheets. Don't say
why just yet.
The roll then travels around the room, with every student choosing to tear off between
1-4 sheets each. When it gets back to you, you also can either take 1, 2, 3 or 4 sheets
of toilet paper.
Students (and you) then have to say something about themselves. If they have one
sheet, they must tell the class one thing about themselves. Two sheets, two things
about themselves. Three sheets, three things, and so on.
This is a fun and simple way for everyone to say something about themselves and
to break to ice for a class.
Tip
My mate played this with his class and grabbed a half-finished roll from his bathroom
before coming to school, only to find that no students wanted to touch it in the
classroom and the game fell apart. Use a fresh roll to save yourself the hassle.

Level: Any Level

This game is fun and challenging at
the same time. It can be adapted for
virtually any subject and any grade
level.
It allows the students to review
material they've learned, without having
to get out a pencil and paper and
answer questions from the text.
What to Do
Arrange 6 chairs in a circle with students seated in them and choose one person,
the teacher or another student, to stand outside the circle.
Give someone sitting in the circle a stuffed animal - the funnier the animal the better!
If you don't have a teddy, then find some other cool passable object, it doesn't really
matter.
The person outside the circle states what the person holding the animal has to name
six of, for example, six classroom objects, or six things in the city, or six verbs, etc.
The person then starts passing the animal around the circle from student to
student as fast as possible.
The person standing in the middle must name six of the objects before the animal gets
back to him or her.
If the player can say six items before the teddy gets back to the first student, then
he/she has won. If the teddy gets back first before the player has said sx things, then
the player in the middle loses!

Pairing up
students
During your classes, teachers will
need to pair up students.
This often means just pairing up
students with the person they are
sitting next to.
This should be avoided.

Always having the same pairs means students miss out on interacting with one
another and the class dynamic won't be as strong and fun. Try to mix things up.

Ball o' String

I got this idea from an English teacher who is teaching in Spain. It is really simple
and will guarantee that you will have different pairs each time you try it.
Get a ball of string from the shop and cut several lengths of string, a few metres
long each. If your class is 20, cut 10 bits of string. If your class is 14, cut 7 lengths of
string and so on - one length of string per pair. If you have odd numbers, put one
group into a three or you join in yourself.
Get everyone to stand up in a large circle. Have all of the string bunched up in a ball in
your hand (but not tangled up) with the ends poking out.
Ask each student to grab one end of a piece of string and gradually walk backwards.
They will be left holding the string with their new partner at the other end...so easy!
This is a very fun and original way to choose partners and you'll be the coolest
teacher in your school for sure!

Fun with Intonation

Use this activity to underline the importance
of intonation when your students, as they
often do, talk like robots. Basically, get them
to say the words in quotation marks in the
contexts that follow.

Say 'Hello'
to a friend you haven't seen for 3 years
to a neighbour that you don't like
to a 6 month old baby
to someone you have just found doing something they shouldn't
to someone on the phone when you're not sure if they are still on the other end
Say 'Goodbye'
to a member of your family as they are going through the boarding gate at the airport
to someone who has been annoying you
to a child starting his very first day at school
Say 'How are you?'
to someone you haven't seen for 20 years
to someone who has recently lost a member of the family
to someone who didn't sleep in their own bed last night
Say 'I never go to pubs'
by a person that totally disapproves of drinking alcohol to someone who often goes to
pubs
as a response to someone who has told you they sometimes go to pubs
said before: 'but I quite like discos.'
Say 'What have you done?'
to someone who claims to have fixed your television only that now it's worse than before
to someone who is scolding you for not doing anything when you suspect the same
about them.
to someone who has just done something very bad and which has serious
consequences

What are the

Darwin Awards?
The Darwin Awards are given out
to very, very stupid people who help the
human race by taking themselves out
of the gene pool by either death or by
sterilizing themselves i.e. a man
dangling his nuts in a golf ball cleaning
machine for a laugh (this has
happened....)

Using the Darwin Awards in the Classroom

About ten years ago, I was teaching an adults class for EF English First Xi'an. The unit
was about 'Greatest Human Achievements' and the language point for comparatives
and superlatives. I flicked through the pages in the office and decided that the unit
was incredibly boring, but had a felling that it needn't be...
I decided to put a twist on it and do the Darwin Awards to contrast with the Greatest
Achievements. We looked at the Darwin Awards and some of the winners and what
they had done 'to win'. The students absolutely loved it!

What we did
Following reading through a couple of real award winners, students were put into
groups and had to invent their own Darwin Award stories (using the language point) they were really creative here! Some stories were amazing!
At the end, they acted out their stories for the class. It worked perfectly; lots of smiles.
If you have an adults class this week, a university class, or a Salon Class in an
adults language centre, then try out using The Darwin Awards!

Message on a Lollypop!
This Young Learner activity is for
kids who are just beginning to
read and write in English. You
can easily grade this activity to
make it super easy or a bit
more challenging. It is best
suited with a maximum of 12 or
so students.
In a nutshell, your students will be given a lollypop each with a small, secret
message wrapped around the lolly stick. They need to unravel this, and then go to
the board to work out what the message says from the key you have stuck to the
white board. They then have to write down this message on a piece of paper to
show you. When they have sussed it out, they can have their lolly.
Preparation: A few days before class, pop into a corner shop and buy one lollypop per
student in your class. They are only 1RMB each, so no big sweat.
Choose a suitable word or small sentence for your class. If you have 5 year-olds, this
might be 'dog', 'cat', cow', whatever. For slightly older classes, it could be 'My name
is', or 'I like .....'. I'll leave this to you.
First prepare your key for the whiteboard. In the teachers' office, jump onto Microsoft
Word and type out on one page letters A-Z in Arial font and then type each letter A-Z
again out using the WEBDINGS font (Webdings are little fun pictures instead of A, B,
C, D, etc). You should be left with the whole alphabet and the corresponding symbols
from Webdings. 26 letters, 26 matching symbols. Print this page, go to the photocopier
and print it out to A3. You now have a big, clear key to stick on the whiteboard for
your students to follow.
Now for the messages. Jump back on the computer and type out short words or
messages using the Webdings font on Microsoft Word. You can either choose them
all the same, or have a couple of different messages. This is more fun for the kids in my
view.
Print out the page of coded messages, cut them into individual strips (one strip per
student) and wrap them around the lolly stick. Job done!

(The vocab used in this example is for

'food', but any lexis is fine for this
flashcard game)
Sit down in a circle and pass the first
flashcard to the child on your right. As
you pass the card say the word, or a
short sentence, e.g. Carrot, Its a
carrot, I like carrots, etc.
That student must pass the card to the
next student, repeating what you have
said. Then that child passes it on to the
next and so on.

In the meantime, you have passed a new card to the first student, then another, then
another and so on. Students are then continuously receiving cards and passing
them on, saying the correct word or phrase.
Start slowly at first and gradually speed up. When they have had some practice with this
and are able to do it quite well, you make the activity more complex.
Instead of only passing the cards round in one direction, you pass a card to the student
on your right but then you pass the next card to the student on your left. So cards
are moving around the group in both directions.
It's a good way to develop vocabulary and to get your students to use short phrases.

Help Me!
This is a fun warmer to start off your adults'
lessons this week.
1. Get students into small groups
2. Tell the class that you need help with some
problems
3. Groups must take it in turns to call out help for
you
4. Before you start, write a problem on the board and write down suggestions of
how you can be helped to show the class what they need to do
5. You are now ready to begin. Get one idea from each group, then change to a
new problem. Keep going for a few minutes, then start your usual class.
Example problem: I have a headache
"Take an aspirin"
"Stop drinking beer"
"Lie down"

Example problem: I have no money

"Ask for a raise"
"Get a new job"
"Get out of bed"

Example problem: I have missed the bus to work

"Catch the next bus"
"Run!"
"Call work to tell them you will be late"

The Paper Plane

Game
Draw a target (with points - like a
dart board) on the white board
or use a cardboard box in the
middle of the room.
Students then make paper
aeroplanes and get to launch
them after they answer your
question in the form of a
sentence.
Encourage students to answer in sentences, rather than single word utterances.
You will be suprised just how hard students will try to say the answer, repeat your
sentence, or whatever, just so they can throw their paper plane!
I recommend giving a prize to make the target points mean something, thus peaking
their interest in the activity.
Lastly, use scrap paper for this activity. Large packs of new A4 paper are costly for
schools and a ball-ache to go and buy, so get some use out of the scrap paper box.

Icebreaker: Skittles
An Ice Breaker is a simple activity for
the first class of a new term.
In a new class students may well not
know each other yet (and nor will you
know them). They may well be shy
about speaking also.
An ice breaker is designed to do several things. Good ones will relax the
class and create a friendly atmosphere. They will also allow you to get a good idea
of the level of the class and see how different students work together (or not, as
the case may be).

Skittles! Buy a big pack of Skittles (enough for five Skittles per student) and go
around the class giving each student five Skittles. Important: Tell your students
they can't eat their Skittles yet!
Now go to the board and write the following:
Red Skittle = Favourite hobby
Blue Skittle = Dream job
Yellow Skittle = Favourite place
Orange Skittle = Favourite film
Purple Skittle = Wildcard - ask any question you like
Students now have to go and meet other students.
Student A offers Student B a skittle to eat and this student must choose one and ask
the matching question e.g. Takes a blue Skittle and asks "What is your dream job?"
Student A then takes one of Student B's skittles to eat and also asks a question.
After this, both students must walk off and find new partners.
Keep going until each student has spoken to five other students and all the Skittles
are gone!

out the 100s of
free TEFL Lesson
Plans on
www.rayenglish.com?
(coming July 2015)

I have never
This is a fantastic game which practices
the use of the present perfect
tense and using the past participle.
Your students will absolutely LOVE this
game and will want to play again and
again.

What to do: Ask examples from your class of things they have NEVER done. Write
your students' suggestions on the board. For example:
"I have never been to
Shanghai"
"I have never eaten
snails"

"I have never flown a

helicopter"
"I have never ridden a
horse"

"I have never played

golf"

After you have gotten ten or so ideas on the board, ask your students to move their chairs so
that they are sitting in a large circle. You, the teacher, should now stand in the middle and say
something that you haven't done (whether you have done it or not is irrelevant). For example,
you might say:
"I have never drank water."
Now tell your students that if they HAVE drank water, then they should move and swap
places with another student. Naturally, everyone will get up and move places. Give two more
examples and have students get up and move around, for example, "I have never ridden a
bicycle". Again, any students who HAVE ridden a bicycle should move.
On the third time, you yourself should quickly take a seat and leave one student in the middle
standing. Your students will find this very funny!
Now it is the student in the middle's turn to say "I have never...". Again, your students must
get up and switch around if they HAVE done it. This is a fast paced activity which your students
will love!

This is a dead easy activity to set up and can

create a lot of laughs!
Get some A4 paper and cut it into quarters. On
each piece of paper, write a situation of two
people in a sticky or embarrassing situation.
Have one situation for each pair of students. Here
are some examples:

- A man catches his wife cheating

- Someone wants to take money from his account, but he only has 10RMB in the bank
- A doctor fails an athlete in a drug's test after a race
- A store detective catches a shoplifter
- A woman is late for work for the third time in one week
- A boy kicks a football through his dad's new greenhouse
- A dad buys his daughter a new phone, but it is like a brick and she hates it
- A woman wants to die her hair brown, but it comes out blue
- A blind date goes horribly wrong
, etc
Give each pair of students one role-play card each and give them 5-10 minutes to make their
own dialogue. They can then act it out in front of the class.
*Tip 1: before pairs act out the dialogue, separate each pair, as they will just keep planning their
own dialogue and not watch the acting pair/will just continually talk to each other through each
performance.
*Tip 2: Teacher can make notes of any interesting parts/language errors to go through at the
end

The Dinner Party

Tell your class that this
weekend you are having
a dinner party. There will
be good food, good music
and good company.
Tell them that you have
invited five very, very,
very special guests to
the party and ask your
students to guess who
they might be. Get some
answers from them.
After you have got a few ideas, reveal your list of five special guests. Here
are my five, you can choose any you like:
Helen Keller
Elvis Presley
Nostradamus
Neil Armstrong
Queen Elizabeth II
Make sure that your five are well known and have some no longer living.
Tell your students why you have chosen your 5.
Now tell your students to make their own list of five people for their own
dinner party. They can be alive or dead, but can't include their own friends or
family, who will be coming anyway.
After they have made their list, have each student tell everyone who was
on their list and why they were chosen.
This is a quick, easy and fun speaking activity which requires no special preparation.

Newspaper Sumo

Get a large newspaper and pull out one

large page and lay it in the middle of
your classroom.

Get two equal-sized students to stand

with their backs facing each other
with their toes just touching the
edges of the paper (their
backs won't be touching at this point and
there will be a large gap between the
students)
Ask the students a question and the first student to answer correctly gets to take half
a step backward. Keep asking questions with the fastest student to answer always
taking half a step backward. When their backs are touching each other, you may stop
asking questions and it is time for battle to commence!

At the count of three, students must try to walk backwards to push the other
student off the paper. As soon, as any part of their foot has come off the newspaper
and touched the floor, then that student loses! You can then get two new students in to
play.

Just make sure that both students are equally matched in size and weight and don't
expect your newspaper to last very long either!

Play this game at your own discretion. Don't be afraid of one student flying off headfirst,
it doesn't happen, students generally just put a quick toe down off the paper for balance.
However, do stand close just in case.

Marooned!
Get your class into pairs or 3's, and
tell them that they have been
marooned on a desert island. The
next ship will pass in 6-12 months
time.

(If with a lower level class, a picture of someone marooned on a desert island will
help with the explanation).
There is fresh water on the island, as well as loads of fruits, nuts and
berries. Food and water isn't a problem.

Ask each group to make a list of five things they would like to have with
them for their time stuck on the island. They can have anything they want,
but the rule is that
they must be able to carry it, so a boat or helicopter is out!

Give them five minutes to make their list and walk around helping with
language. At the end, get each group's ideas and discuss them.

Word Tennis
This English teaching game is an
ideal warmer when teaching
English to kids, especially 6 to 13
year olds. It is an excellent way to
review vocabulary. It also teaches
category names to the students.
Divide the class into 2 halves.
Write the team names on either
side of the board at the top. Leave
a space in the middle of the
board to write a list of categories.
Write the first category [for example, animals]. Have the students read this to
you, if they can't read it yet, you can read it to them. Repeated exposure to the
category names will help them recognize them.
Point quickly to the first student. The student must respond with an animal name within a
few seconds. Then the 'ball' bounces to the other team, and the first student quickly gives
the name of another animal. Then the second student on the other team answers.
This game must be done quickly, and without any repetition of vocabulary. When
a student cannot answer, a point is given to the opposing team, and a new
category is written on the board. The whole process is then repeated. Ideally this
game should be a fast review of vocabulary items.
The very first time you do this activity, the students may well need help. However,
once they are familiar with it, then it should become faster.
Any categories can be used from vegetables to verbs, and places in the city to parts
of the body. Sometimes teachers stop using TEFL games like this when the children
know animals, fruit and other simple vocabulary. However, this English teaching
game can also be used to teach more advanced vocabulary categories [for
example things that melt, personality types...] can be used

Clothes Race
If you teach elementary levels, be it
Young Learners, teens or adults, at
some point you are going to have a unit
on your course looking at clothing.
If you are going to be covering this topic
in the next few weeks or months, then
read on and remember this little beauty...

In the week before class, get from home several items of common clothing - jeans,
hat, T-shirt, jumper, socks, etc. Beg, borrow or steal items of clothing from a
colleague so that you have clothes for both sexes. Get all the clothing ready in a big
bag and your preparation is now complete.

In Class
Get everyone sat in a circle and use the clothing to pre-teach the vocab. Pass
around a ball of socks from one student to another. Get them to say 'These are socks',
or 'This is a T-shirt', as they pass the clothes around. Actually holding and passing
real clothes, whilst saying what they are will help them to remember the names of
the clothes much better than a picture in a book!
When you feel you are ready, put the class into two teams and have them form lines.
Dump all of the clothes at the other end of the classroom.
When you are ready, call out the name of an item or two of clothing and the first two
students must run out, locate that item from the pile (have two of each item if you
don't want your T-shirt stretched!) and get them to put it on and return to their line.
The first player back wearing the correct item gets a point for their team.
As you go on, you can call out two or three items which makes the game more
challenging and funny. Getting the boys to race out and get on a dress is a particular
winner with your class!
This is a great way of teaching clothing and your students will remember the vocab
much more effectively, whilst having an awesome time in class.

Grandma Went Shopping

This is a great warmer or time filler

for your class if you finish earlier
than expected.

Get your class in a circle and say

"My grandma went shopping and
bought a bike" (you can say any
item here
really). Now get the student on your
left to say "My grandma went
shopping and bought a bike AND
a ...." (the student on your left adds
an item).

The next student along now says "My grandma went shopping and bought a
bike, a ..... AND a ......"

Keep going around the class and see how long you can make the
chain. The students shouldn't write anything down, just use their
memory.

For elementary students, this is also a good game to practice the use of a/an/some.

This is an adventurous whole-class

activity which involves lots of speaking
and interaction. This activity can be
done with ages 8-80!
In a nutshell, your students will be going
around to three 'supermarkets' in your
classroom to buy the goods on a
shopping list you give them for as little
money as possible. The winning team
is the team which buys all the items on
their list for as little as possible!
Before class, set three tables in your classroom. These table zones will be
your supermarkets. Spread them apart as much as you can. On each table, put a list
of items which that particular supermarket sells and how much each item costs.
When class begins, tell your students that a few of them will be shop assistants in a
supermarket and the rest of the class will be shoppers. The shoppers will have to buy
items on a list given to them. Before you begin the activity review all the key
vocabulary (the items on the list) and the language needed to buy and sell.
For example:
Shopper: "How much is 1kg of bananas please?"
Assistant: "That will be $9"
Shopper: "Here you are"
Assistant: "Thank you, please come again"

Once you have reviewed the key vocab and the important language, then you are ready
to begin.
Depending on how many students you have, choose 1 or 2 students to work at each
supermarket. The rest of your students, put into pairs. Explain to the whole class
that each pair will be given a shopping list and that they need to speak to each
person at the supermarket to buy these items. The pair who buys everything

using the least amount of money is the winner. Each team starts with $150 (you can
download dollar bills from the internet and print them off easily).
When making the price lists for each supermarket, make sure that some items are
cheap, the others are more expensive. This way, students will have to continually shop
around and be repeating the language at all three locations, rather than buying all
items in one place.
Here are two examples:
'Insta-Saver Supermarket'
1kg of bananas $15
Bread $4
Cheese $10
Toy car $12
Mini pizzas $13
'Food World'

1kg of bananas $12

Bread $5
Cheese $11
Toy car $9
Mini pizzas $17
Float around the room lending a hand when needed and listen out for any language
errors which you can either help with straight away or go through at the end if you wish.
Depending on the level/age of your students, you can adjust the difficulty and number
of the items on the list. For lower levels, use words like 'bread' and 'milk', for higher
levels you can use items like 'ketchup, 'chicken fillets' or 'instant noodles'.
After a supermarket has sold an item, they should take the money and tick it off the
customers list. This is a very cool activity I have done a few times before and is
actually really easy to set up. All you really need is some money you've printed off.

Adverb Madness!
Adverbs are most
commonly used to modify and give more
information about a verb. Check these two
examples:
"John walks to school."
"John walks to school slowly."
Here, slowly is the adverb and it gives us much more information about how John
walks to school.
How to Play
Get ten flashcards of some common daily routines or activities. Here are some
ideas: brushing teeth, eating breakfast, playing football, shopping, catching the
bus, doing homework, etc.
Now get some large word cards of some common adverbs. You should pre-teach or
revise these. Here are some
examples: quickly, slowly, angrily, beautifully, loudly, quietly, blindly.
You can choose the activities and adverbs to suit the level of your class.

Now ask a student to come to the front of the class and choose one activity
card and one adverb card. The student should look at these, but not tell the other
student what they chose. The student now gives you back the cards.
The student should now mime the activity and adverb to the class (no speaking at all),
for example, "brushing teeth blindly".
Students should try to guess what it is. The first student to guess gets the next go!

The TV Interview
This is a very simple,
yet effective way to
get your students
speaking English. As
with any language,
the more chance the
students can
actually speak and
produce, the faster
they will improve.
Basically, in this
activity, your students
will be performing a
TV or radio interview.
Before class, make some interview scenario cards. Simply get a piece of paper or
card and write different interview situations on these cards. Be as imaginative as
you like.
Here are some interview situation ideas:

Interviewer and a rock star about to go on tour.

Interviewer with an Olympic gold medalist.

Interviewer and a Hollywood star

Interviewer and a man just released from prison.

Interviewer a Presidential candidate

Interviewer with an athlete who's just failed a drug test.

Interviewer with lottery winner.

Divide your class into pairs (or three's if you want two interviewers). Let each pair
pick one of your cards and then give them some time to plan what they are
going to say and the questions/answers. You can then have them show the rest
of the class their interviews!

Tip: Separate the pairs when they are watching others perform their interviews. If you
don't separate the pairs, they will just continue to plan their own interview and will pay
no attention whatsoever to the performing group.

Secret Student
Next time you take a flight,
remember to keep the eye
cover each person gets and put
it in your bag to take home. They
are great for the classroom!
There are many ways you
can use a blindfold in classes
for learning English and today I
will look at one for 'Warmer of
the Day'.
Get your students to stand in a circle and have one of them standing in the middle of
the circle blindfolded. Now ask all of your students to swap places quietly, so that the
person in the middle doesn't know where everyone is standing.
The teacher now goes into the middle and spins the student around a few times and
then asks the blindfolded student to point their finger. Whoever the student is pointing
to have to come into the circle and talk to the blindfolded person, but must not say
their name. The blindfolded student then must guess who it is. The chosen student
may change their voice (students find this hilarious!)
For example:

Blindfolded student: "How are you?"

Chosen student: "Fine thanks!"
Blindfolded student: "What did you do last night?"
Chosen student: "I did my homework and then watched a movie."
etc.
This is a fun way to get people talking and for building class rapport. If you don't
have a blindfold, then a scarf works just as well!

Cross the Line

This is a very simple game which
can be played with teens and
adults who are Pre-Intermediate
level and upwards.
Make a line down the middle of
your classroom (you can use
rope, string, bags, whatever). On
a piece of A4 paper write a topic,
for example, 'cars'. On another
piece of paper write 'public
transport', for example.
Lay one piece of paper on one side of the line and the other piece of paper on the
other side of the line.
Now ask your students to stand on one side of the line or the other by deciding if 'cars'
are more important to society, or if 'public transport' is more important. This is a
personal choice and not one as a group, so students can stand where they like.
Once your students have chosen which side they wish to be on, they must persuade
other students to 'cross the line' and come over to their side. Encourage students to
'cross the line' if arguments are good. (You can help this by being the first to cross the
line yourself to set the example.) This is a great way to develop talking and language
for argument/discussion...
"I believe that..."
"I disagree with you because..."
"Although what you say is important, I feel..."
"I agree with you on this point, however..."
Other topics could be:
Books vs Internet
Music vs Clothes
Chopsticks vs Knives and Forks
Eating meat vs Being a vegetarian
Television vs Telephones
Small shops vs Big Supermarkets
University vs Getting a trade

Running Dictation
Running Dictation is an ESL classic, but there
may be many of you teachers out there who, for
one reason or another, haven't heard about this
TEFL gem. If that is you, then you are in for a real
treat! This activity allows the students to practice
reading, speaking, listening and writing skills all
in one awesome go.
Have printed out a text appropriate in length and difficulty for your class. Ideally, it should be
no longer than a paragraph for older students and a few sentences for younger students,
otherwise the activity will take too long and overrun. Before your class, make sure you can
easily read the text from at least 1m away.
Stick the text on the wall with sticky tape about 30cm above the eye-level of your students.
Divide your students into pairs and have them all sitting well away from the text you have stuck
on the wall.
Have one student sitting down with a pen and paper. The other student needs to run to the
text, read and remember as much as she can, then return to her partner and tell them what the
text says. The seated student listens to this and then writes
this down. The running student will need to run back to the text (she won't remember it all for
certain!) to read some more before again returning to the partner who again continues to listen
to the text and write. Keep going until the the text has been fully written out. Make sure the runner
and writer switch halfway through the game, to make
sure that all skills are practiced by every student

Some points to remember

In addition to practicing all the skills, its more fun for the runner than the writer, so do make sure
to change them over halfway through the game.
Don't allow the students who are running/reading to write anything at any stage. No pens and
paper at the wall.
Also, don't allow shouting from the wall over from their partner. The room quickly becomes a
shouting match and nothing is achieved. Have your runners, read the text at the wall quietly, run
back and whisper to their partner.

Don't allow students to run back, pick up the pen and write themselves.

Older students will try to take a photo of the text with their phones to show their
partner so they don't have to remember the words and to get an advantage. Don't
allow photos to be taken of the text. If your students do take a photo, don't get angry
with them, just give them a little laugh and take their phone away until after the game.

This activity should be done in a race format to encourage competition and

motivation. If it is done correctly and managed well by the teacher, then this is one of
the best ESL activities out there, where there is an element of speaking, reading,
writing and listening throughout.

Timebomb!
'TIMEBOMB!' is a really fun
game for students of all ages and
it helps them to practice
numbers.
Have your students stand up in a
large circle. Stand in the middle
of the circle and blow up a
balloon. Try to get the balloon as
full as possible, without bursting
it (you may want to have a few
spares in case it goes bang!)
Tell your students that you are holding a time bomb and it will blow up when it gets
to zero!! Be holding a pin or a sharp pencil and let them know you will burst the
balloon when the count gets to ZERO!!
Give the 'time bomb' to one of your students. They start with the count of 60 and can
choose to say one number or two numbers before giving the balloon to the person to
their left. For example, they can either say '60' or 60, 59'. The person taking the 'time
bomb' now has to say the next number down (or the next two numbers down if they
choose to say two numbers instead of one).
Example:

Student 1: 60, 59...

Student 2:58...
Student 3: 57...
Student 4: 56, 55...
Student 5: 54, 53...

As the balloon goes around the circle, each student taking the 'time bomb' has to count
backwards by either one number or two numbers all the way until someone
eventually gets to ZERO! Whoever is holding the balloon when it gets to zero has the
balloon burst by the teacher whilst they hold it! BOOOOOM!!! (Remember, the count
goes backwards from 60 down to 0). The students LOVE this ga

In a nutshell, this activity is a cool

twist on the old 'Message in a
Bottle' activity. Instead of putting
a message in a bottle and casting
it into the sea, your kids will write
a message and attach the
message on a helium balloon
and float it off into the sky!

What You'll Need: One helium

balloon per student, sticky tape,
paper or tags for your students to
write on, a small photo to
personalise the tag.
What to Do

The class before, ask the students to bring in a little passport sized photo of
themselves for this class. The front desk can help you make these calls to parents.

Tell your class (either directly or through a teaching assistant) that you want to do a
'Message in a Bottle' activity, but instead are going to use a balloon to carry your
message through the skies!! You can also tell them that their message will probably
climb higher than the clouds....enjoy their gasps of excitement!!
(True...they can get to 10,000m!!)

Have a balloon pre-made with a large tag with your passport sized photo on it and some
info about you. Today my son wrote his name, age, favourite animal, food, colour and
hobbies. On the back in Chinese was an explanation of what the activity was about and
to get in touch with me (I left my WeChat and QQ number) to say that the message had
been found and where it landed!

Ask your students where they think the message will end up! Get guesses and build
excitement and interest. Then go outside and release your demo balloon! Now tell them
that they will be making their own now to release!

Depending on the age and level of your students, you can write anything you like, as
low as a simple name and age, up to likes and hobbies or a student fact file.

When the students are ready, attach the tags to each balloon. You can decorate the
tags with glitter, stickers, coloured pens and stars. This will make the students even
more proud of their personal creation and also increase the chance of it being picked up
from the street in a nearby (or faraway!) city.

A School Marketing Activity

Helium balloons can be expensive and if you have a large class, then you may be out of
pocket a bit. One thing to consider is the marketing value of an activity like this. Tell the
parents about it, get them involved, perhaps the school has branded balloons in the
store room or would be happy to order. Image 100's of school branded balloons all
being released by students into the air....that's WeChat and Weibo gold right there!! It
will get shared a lot!

Why not offer a free language course in the school to anyone who finds a tag and calls
to say where it was found? There is a lot of marketing value in this activity as well as an
excellent way for Young Learners to enjoy writing and have a lovely memory of the time
in your school!

So, you are a foreign teacher

here in China, and you take a
taxi. There is a silence for a
minute or so, and then the
questions come...and actually,
these first few questions
are usually pretty much the
same and in the same order, just
usual 'small talk', to keep the
journey friendly.

"Where are you from?"

"How long have you been here?"
"Do you like Xi'an (or what ever city you are in)?"
"What is your job?"
Etc,

And this got me thinking...I reckon that these opening questions would be pretty much
the same in any taxi cab in the world, and that you could probably get a good
speaking activity out of this with your adult English students...

What to do

Tell your class that you are totally new to China and that you got in a taxi for the
first time just yesterday. Tell your class that the driver was trying to speak to you in
Chinese, and that you understood some of it, but not all. Your journey was only five
minutes, so he could only really ask a few questions before you got out.

Ask your class the kind of questions he might have been asking you. Put your
students into pairs and ask them to think of five possible questions he was asking you.

Watch the class closely, and when you see them slowing down and starting to look
up at you, then you'll know that they are pretty much done. Ask students to give you
some of their ideas and write them on the board.

Now ask them to think of a few more questions had your journey been for 15
minutes. Again, get them into pairs and this time, circulate around and help with
language. Once they are done, get more of their ideas written on the board.

Now, time to move on to the next stage...

Tell the class that they are on business in New York and it is their first day. They are
in a New York cab going to a meeting. The taxi driver doesn't know any Chinese, is
friendly, and wants to know more about their new Chinese passenger.

Arrange four chairs in the middle of the class to make your 'taxi', and you the teacher, in
the 'driver's seat. Ask one or two of your more confident students to 'hop in' and take
them to the meeting!! Actually pretend to be a driver, moving your arms, and asking
them the questions from the board! Your students now have to answer these
questions as though they were actually in New York!

Change passengers frequently and give everyone else a chance to ride in the cab.
You can also change drivers and have a student be the driver to get them practicing
the questions, too!

This is a good activity for lower level students, with lots of really good speaking
practice in a fun way.

This is a very easy activity to

set up and is great for Teens or
Adults.
Hand to each student a coloured
piece of paper (white paper is
also fine, but coloured paper is
more visual).

Ask the students to write one interesting word on the paper, for example, pasta.

Give your students 1-2 minutes to write their word (they may use their phones to help).

When your students have finished, ask them to call out their words one by one until you
have filled the board with words.

Now ask your students to either write a story individually or make a role-play in a group.
Great fun, great language practice and very little preparation!

This is a TEFL warmer for

adult classes. Play this at
the start of a class to get
those English juices
flowing for your main
activities. Although the
description below is for
adults, you can easily
adjust the rules for any
audience.

What to Do
1. Draw a Naughts & Crosses / Tic-Tac-Toe grid on your board.

2. In the squares, write 9 different topics e.g. sport, China, food and drink,
iPhones, your hometown, whatever.
3. Divide your students into two teams. One team is 'naughts', the other team
is 'crosses'.
4. Choose a student from one team and they choose a square. They must
then speak for 30 seconds, without stopping. If they can do it, their team takes
the square.
5. The other team then has a go and must do the same. The first team to get
three in a row wins. Choose a different student each time.

No More lives!
This is a quick and easy
flashcard game for children. The
purpose of the game is to help
kids to memorise the key
vocabulary in your lesson. No
fuss!
What to do
1. Using flashcards, pre-teach five words from the page in your course book you are on.
2. Now get all your kids to turn around facing the other way and place your five
flashcards face down in an order that only you know. For example: Car (first), plane
(second), train (third), bus (fourth), bicycle (fifth and last)
3. Get the students to turn back around and then hand out eight coloured chips or
pieces of paper to the students. These represent lives.

Each chip represents a life!

4. Ask your students which word they think is first. If they get it wrong (for example, they
guess 'bus', then tell them that its wrong and take one of their chips away.
5. Let them guess again. If they get it wrong again, then take another of their lives away.
If they get it right, then turn over the flashcard to show them and keep going (although
they don't get any lives back, they just keep going.)

This game is an ESL

classic and an absolute
winner if you teach Young
Learners here in China.
Kids aged 4+ will really
respond to playing this
language game and it will
help them to review words
or simple sentences very
well.
All you need is a whiteboard, a large dice, board marker and two board magnets. (If you
don't have board magnets, or have a glass white board, then you can simply draw two
different symbols for each team).
What to Do
1. Divide your class into two teams. If you have a large class, then you can divide them
into three or four teams just as easily.
2. Draw the following on the whiteboard:

3. Put both teams' board magnets in one of the grey sections at the start of the game.
Both teams start with five lives.
4. Choose a team to start and ask them a question - this could be a 'What's this?'
(pointing at a flashcard) or a simple question. If they get it right, then they can roll the
dice.
5. Move the team's marker around the board the number of moves shown on the dice. If
they land on a ghost or a spider, then they lose a life! Make a spooky, scary noise when
they land on the booby square!
6. It is now the other team's go. Ask and question and move them around, losing a life if
they land on a ghost or spider.
7. If a team lands on a grey section, then they don't lose a life or gain one. If they land
on the shield, then they get one life back.
8. Keep playing until one team has no more lives. The first team to lose all of their lives
is the loser.
Have fun teaching this week!

This is a brilliant ESL game to

practice giving advice. It
should be played after a 'giving
advice' vocabulary lesson has
taken place. It is a great way
for students to see what they
have remembered and what
needs reviewing. This game
works well with any age group,
particularly adults, just adapt it
to fit the age you're working
with.

How to play

1. Write ailments or problems related to your most recent lesson on post-it notes and
stick one post-it note on each student's back.

2. The students must mingle and ask for advice from other students to solve their
problem.

3. Students should be able to guess their problem based on the advice they get from
their peers.

4. Use more complicated or obscure problems to make the game more interesting for
older students.

5. For lower levels and younger students, announce a category or reference a recent
lesson, like "Health", to help them along.

Chinese learners often

have difficulty in using a range
of adjectives and instead just
rely on a couple for almost
everything. How many times
have you heard 'My hometown
is very beauitful' or 'The food is
very delicious'...waaay too
many times....
Students here get comfortable with a handful of adjectives and stick to them. As TEFL
teachers, we need to get students out of this hole.

This is an activity where students need to use a wider range of adjectives in order to
succeed.

What to Do
- Pre-teach a number of adjectives to describe size, weight and texture.
- Get a cardboard box and fill it with about 10 different items. For example, a feather, a
ping-pong ball, a coin, sandpaper, a pencil, a key, etc.
- Now blindfold a student and bring them to the front of the class and seat them in front
of the box.
- Choose one of the items and hold it up for the class to see, but don't tell the
blindfolded student which object you have chosen.
- Put the item back inside and the class now need to use language to help the
blindfolded student to find the mystery item by feeling inside and lifting it up into the air.

"It's round..."
"It's smooth..."
"It's light..."
"It's rough..."
"It's hard..."
Give everyone a go and build confidence in your students to use more diverse
adjectives naturally and comfortably.

Today's post is a cool

flashcard game and an
excellent way for
students to memorise
vocabulary.
You need 10-15
flashcards with
vocabulary you want to
review.

What to Do
1. Have your students sitting in a large circle. Join the circle and then go through the
vocabulary with the class.
2. Choose a good student and have them say one of the flashcards you are holding up.
The student is then given this card. Move on to a second student, hold up the card, and
get them to say it. This student then keeps this card. Keep going around the class until
every student has one of the flashcards.
3. Get your students to hold up their flashcards and ask your students to memorise as
many of the flashcards as possible and their position in the circle. After 30 seconds, ask
your students to hold their flashcards facing down on their laps so that no one can see
each other's cards.
4. Choose a student to try to point at another student and saying which flashcard they
have. If the guessing student gets the word right, then they can 'steal' that new
flashcard, so they now have two flashcards and loser has none.
Keep going around the class with students stealing each other's cards. It can be great
fun trying to keep track of which card is where!

This is a classic TEFL Warmer,

which has been used by
teachers for years.
You can use this with most
levels and its a great way
for your students to wake
up and get switched on for
your lesson.

What to Do?
Divide your students into two teams and have them form two lines facing the board.
(If you have a large class, simply make three or four teams.)
Draw a line down the middle of the board and give the first person in each line a
board pen.
At the top of board write a category, for example, Things in the House or Colours.
The first student from each line now runs out and writes a word to do with this
category in their side of the board. They then run back to the line, give the pen to the
next player and then go to the back of the line.
The first team to ten words, or the most within one minute, is the winner.
Tip: Be on hand to help with spelling and make sure everyone gets a go.
Have fun!

This is a game that should take

place after the students have
already been taught the proper
words or sentence structure.
The great thing about this activity
is that it suits classes of any size,
every student is involved in every
round. It's a great chance for
everyone to feel like they can
USE the language.

What to Do
1. Before class, print of some simple pictures which represent what you have been
learning. There should be no words. These can be single word pictures for lower levels
i.e. pen, book, chair, or a number of pictures which can be used to represent sentences.
Below is what I used in my class recently (The tiger can eat meat, the elephant can't eat
soup, the monkey can't drink tea, the cat can eat fish):

2. Place students into pairs. If you have an odd number of students in your class you
can have one team of 3 students or if you have another teacher in your class you can
get them involved and place one of the strong students with them.
3. Have one student from each team stand up and follow you out in to the hallway to
look at the first picture. Number or point to the picture you'll be using that round. The
intention is to have each individual tell you what the picture represents, while you
correct any major mistakes, before releasing them back in to the classroom. They will,
in turn, tell their partner what the first picture is. Then the partner has to run to you and
tell you what the first picture is (without having seen it.)
4. Give one point / sticker/ high-five to the first few teams to relay the message
correctly back to you.
5. Have everyone sit down, ask that the other partner now stand up to do the first
leg of the race. Rinse and repeat. Do make sure that everyone has a go.
Teaching Tips
This game seems to hold the complete interest of all students in a class for a maximum
of 6 rounds. Don't drag it out too long and you'll get the best out of this activity.
Even weaker students will want to stand up and have a go with this one, and if they are
a little slow you'll get a little alone time outside correcting them before letting them
back in to tell their partner.
There may be more energy than you're used to in your classroom, and you'll
probably get swarmed by a mass of kids shouting the answer in your face, in which
case you'll want to implement a 'NO SCREAMING' rule.
Go through this activity with your Teaching Assistant before you go into the classroom.
If your TA ever doesn't understand your instructions and tells the students what to do
incorrectly, it isn't their fault, it's yours. Work well with your co-teacher.

Have you got a class (or a

number of classes) that simply
don't want to participate - or
you find yourself picking the
same students time after time?
There is a way around it, and I
call this method THE TERROR
CARDS.
Materials: Standard playing
cards, white sticky labels, marker
pen.

What to Do
Get enough sticky labels and cards so that every student has their own playing card.
Write one student's name on each card (if the students know their English names
well, just write their English names on the cards, otherwise add their pinyin names as
well)
Then introduce them to the class. Explain that this is how you will be choosing
students to answer questions - if they answer a question correctly, they can choose a
card from the deck.
My students have a love/hate relationship with the Terror Cards - they love picking
certain students out, but they hate having their name called out.
I recently made my decks a little more interesting by adding "Student
Choice" and "Teacher Choice" into each deck - this puts some power into the hands
of either the student or I.
This is ideal for middle school, high school and university classes - probably not so
good for training centers where the classes are small, but I recommend that you give it
a go.

This activity is suitable for

all ages and all
levels where you
have Questions and
Answers, from personal
introductions (name, age,
hometown, etc) up to more
complex stuff such as
hobbies, film tastes,
whatever.
Its a really useful activity
and the students will find
this beneficial to improve
their English.

What to do
Pre-teach a question and answer to the class. For right now, we'll take 'hometown' as
an example:
Q: "Where are you from?"
A: "I'm from Xi'an, China."
Practice this a few times with your class.
Once you feel they are happy with it, ask all your students to stand up and find a
partner. Tell them to play Paper, Scissors, Stone with their partner. The winner gets to
ask the question, the loser has to answer.
They now both go and find a new partner and play again; the winner asking the
question, the loser answering.
This activity is a great way for your class to mingle and to be producing the target
language repeatedly in an unusual way with different partners; Its works really well and
the students enjoy it very much.
Be on hand to help with pronunciation and kill the activity when everyone has spoken to
each other.

In this activity students write

about their ideal day, then get to
test how well they know their
peers by guessing which day
belongs to which student.
This is great for older teens and
adults, both for practicing writing
and getting to know their
classmates.

What you will teach

- Writing skills
- Expressing creativity and imagination
- Peer correction
- Various tenses depending on lesson aims

The Set up
Tell your class they are going to imagine and describe their perfect day, where they
would be, what they would do, who they are with, etc. Move onto brainstorming-related
categories and adjectives (the more creative, the better)
For example: locations, activities/hobbies, friends/celebrities, food/drink.
Note - Its a good idea to tell each student not to mention their favourite thing, this
makes the guessing game at the end more challenging.
Then you can establish your target tense and do some review if necessary.
Past tense - Yesterday was my perfect day, it began...
Conditional - My perfect day would start with...

Activity
Now have the students write about their perfect day. They should have enough ideas
from the introduction to do this, just encourage them to use their imagination! Once they
have completed the activity, collect papers and hand them out again. Have each
student read a day and then get the class to guess who it belongs to.

Most people are afraid of

something. One of the
most common fears is
the fear of spiders. Other
fears may include fear of
heights, fear of snakes
and even fear of the
moon.
These fears are
called phobias.
Begin your lesson by giving your students a list of words ending in phobia such
as arachnophobia, ophidiophobia, claustrophobia,
anthropophobia and selenophobia. Explain that these words mean fear of
something, ask them to guess what that something is.
Spend a few minutes on this. It works as a great lead-in to the rest of the class.

Conversation Element: Then ask your class if they have any fears. This will open
up an interesting discussion between your students. You can use any of the questions
below for gentle prompting:

Are you afraid of flying?

Are you afraid of going to the dentist?

Are you afraid of ghosts?

Are you afraid of heights?

Are you afraid of giving a speech in

public?

Are you afraid of scary movies?

Are you afraid of the dark?

Questions for more advanced levels:

Do you know anyone with a phobia?

Do you know anyone with a strange

phobia?

Have you overcome any of your fears?

How?

What animal do you think is the

scariest? Why?

Do you believe people can be cured

of phobias by hypnosis?

How do you cope with your fears?
