oral lessons for beginners/ extra lesson at school
 
hi everyone,
I think you may help me:
this coming school year I will be teaching two year 7 groups (11 year olds).They usually have 4 hours of English a week, however this year they will also have one extra lesson fortnightly.
I am supposed to do something different from the theme we �d be working on in the "regular" lessons and that extra lesson is supposed to be purely oral...
the kids are in groups of 24 and I may get them split in two...
any ideas that may get me started??
I �d like them to have fun but learn, I was thinking about games like the "fruit basket" and other warming ups we do when starting theatre with youngsters...
my problem really is to stretch such activities and have quite a few to fit in one hour.
thanks for any replies on the forum or through pms.
have a lovely day

Hi Virginie,
when you "play" games with your pupils time goes by very quickly, no need to do a lot of them in one �hour � ... you can play at :
-happy families
-guess who? (have you got ... ? Yes, I have / No, I haven �t - usually all the pupils like this game, even those who are very weak )
- LOTO BINGO (with sweets as a reward - les 6�mes adooooorent le loto bingo) with numbers and there is one I found on mes english with the TIME
- bombs away (you can work different things with it - grammar / vocabulary)
- I also �made � a game that is like truth or dare for the 6�mes ... you �ve got 2 kind of cards ... the first ones : action they have to do something like �go to the neighbour door and ask for the time � or �what colour is BLEU is English? � or �sing a song in English � and the second ones when they can �t do what they were asked to do they have a forfeit ... pantomime : you are swimming ... etc (if you are interested, let me know)

that �s all I can think of for the moment ...
by the way what is this "fruit basket" game ???

hope it helps
