Summer online activities for English update

Happy summer to everyone!

Summer is here and school holidays are long! If we don't give some engaging activities to our students, they probably forget all what they've learned all through the course. Then, we've prepared some fun and educational resources in order to practice and update their English in a fun way. Let's play !

And meet you again in September! Happy holidays!

Building blocks to learn English

In the last Macmillan Teachers Training Session we had the opportunity to put into practice a very easy and productive activity in which you only need children and building blocks.

- Place the children in groups of 3.

- Have plenty of building blocks for each group.

- The teacher starts giving instructions in English and children follow the instructions using the 

   building blocks.

Eg. Teacher says: "Classify the blocks in colours, shapes and size"

 

 You can do it more complex. Eg, teacher says: "make an animal with the building blocks" 

Now, more examples: "I want to see a table and a chair" (teacher asks for as many furniture as you want)

An other example, teacher says: "make a building of your city".  When children have their buildings ready, you can use some of these buildings to make a city and work about directions and prepositions of place.

  

 

A new example, to work about comparative and superlative adjectives. Eg, teacher says: "make the tallest tower"

Daily Routines for 5th and 6th graders (1st part)

Today we'll start our selection of materials to work "daily routines" in 5th and 6th level because it's an essential topic for the older students in primary to be competent on the use of english.
Here you can watch some videos with your students, lot's of fun!

After watching them, you can ask pupils to answer questions about the routines they have seen and the hours they do them.
