Health Problems!
 
Hello,
 
I �m to teach a lesson about health problems. I decided about using flashcards & different worksheets available on this website. But, i �m in need of activities & games that �ll engage & involve my Ss. I need some suggestions that �ll make my Ss speak. Moreover, i �d be very grateful if u �d suggest to me a good warm up that �ll lead smoothly to the topic of health problems.
 
Thanks in advance,

hello bookwarm,
 
I always greet my students with � hello how are you today � and they always reply with fine thanks, and you  � I would cease the opportunity to say that I don �t feel okay, and pretend to have a headache or sth. so first you will have to explain headache to them and that will lead  them smoothly to the lesson.  you can use your flashcards , and as a follow up activity you could give some cards to students and ask thime to mime what �s in the cards. students will have to say the name of this illness. my students love miming activities and they learn from it a lot and they laugh a lot about the way their classmate act.  you can also use roleplays, patient and doctor.
 
 good luck
