My students will build a toy ship together. Some advice
 
Hello everybody.

I just need some advice about one of my lessons that I have in 2 days. It �s about building a toy ship made of 200+ pieces.
My lesson lasts 2 hours. I would like to introduce the topic of hobbies on the first hour, having a discussion with them about their favourite hobbies etc... and then on the second hour let them build the ship (maybe 2 and I �ll divide the students in 2 teams seeing who �s the fastest).
These students are 10-12 years old, Chinese, about 14/16 students and all of them love games and activities like this.

I �m asking you: how can I make the first hour interesting? Which kind of activities may I consider for them?

Thanks in advance

Find somebody,who (collects stamps, badges, plays tennis, etc) may be a good activity.

what about another game, but this one would focus on language (vocabulary etc...): a powerpoint or a board game focusing on hobbies and/or abilities (CAN)... you �ll find plenty of those here :) and if there �s one of mine you like just send me a PM and i �ll send it to you free of charge :)

if i were you, however, i would try to teach them structures they will have to use while building the toy ship (can you post a picture BTW? i have no idea what it looks like...) so that the 2nd hour would still be an English lesson :)

Talk about hobbies, for example,which are common (technology) or how they have changed with the ages,and there isn�t less hobbies that can practise outside,for example,play football,ride bike...
