Listening Game as a fun technique
Listen to me....!!!!!
Touch your nose!
Clap your hands!
Jump! Jump! Jump!
Can you imagine the kids do those activities? They will be fun, won't they? Kids in their age have a lot of energy to move. As a creative teacher it is better for you to benefit their energy to acquire english. One of the technique can be applied is by using listening game.
This game actually appropiates for the kids to gain a new vocabulary or simple sentence construstion. It can work in small or even large class.
In small class, you can separate the kids into two groups. Each group should stand in line and face to each other. You as a teacher stand in front of them and start realising one by one magic words. For example, to acquire the names of human's body you say "nose", the kids must appoint their own nose. If there is a kid does a mistake, a friend in front of him will touch his nose. If the pair kids do the mistake, you will touch their nose. In case of constructing simple sentence, you can start giving your fun commands for them. They must do as your command. If they do something mistake, give them some time to do ownself. Then, you can continue your fun commands.
In large class, you can set the kids in circle position. Ask them to stand up and give each of the one magic words. Every kids must try to remember all words given to each of them. Choose a kid by naming the word given, i.e "nose". The "nose" comes into the centre of the circle. You start the game by mentioning the word the "nose" must look for. The "nose" then goes to the friend predictedly has that word. If the "nose" catches a wrong friend, the friend must say what word s/he owns. Then, the "nose" goes to another friend until twice. If the "nose" still does have the word being looked for, the "nose" must go the centre of the circle and touch the own nose. The "nose'" position then is changed by the kid having the word the "nose" looked for.
