Some ideas for my last week of teaching
 
Hi all

I have 1 more week to teach in this Chinese school with 12-14 years old students.
Technically it should be a Speaking class but...they don �t care about speaking =P  I think they are shy or maybe just not interested in speaking. They just like playing and doing activities. I brought them to a fast food making hamburgers, in class we had 2 lessons about cooking (then they cooked some typical Chinese food), building scale models together etc etc... and I think they had fun.

One lesson I would like to bring them to a restaurant making another kind of typical food (拌面 banmian) after teaching some vocabulary. But I don �t know if the director allows me to do that =P

Any suggestions? The ideas I have in my mind are for "adults" and not for kids, so I �m stuck and I never know how to make my lessons interesting for them.
I think with their Chinese teachers they always stay in class, studying grammar and new words. Maybe they enjoy going out doing things.
With the youngest students (4-8 yo) I brought them to a supermarket after teaching them some easy directions and things you can find in a market. Do you think I could bring the youngsters there too, doing another kind of activities?

Thanks in advance
