Speak into the Mic

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to share a tip here for helping students speak more in class and practice using target language for a specific lesson. One day while I was teaching I used my hand as a microphone to help a shy student speak. It really worked and since then I have created colorful paper microphones that I cut out, laminate, and attach to the end of a flyswatter with velcro (which I use for other activities as well). I initially used the microphones with my 3 to 5 year old learners, but I have found they work with all age students. Hope this can be a useful idea for you in your classroom. What do you use to help students speak more in class? Colorful Microphones Here

It is also a nice tool to remind kids they can only speak when it is their turn to speak....only the one holding the microphone is allowed to speak. Thanks! |

I sometimes throw a soft toy or a ball around the classroom. Pupils are excited to catch the toy and then they have to answer a question! It �s especially good if you have a class sensible enough to throw the ball to each other too, as then thy can practise asking questions too. |

That �s a good idea, thank you. Yes, it can be hard as nails to make them talk, so... I pay them! I �ve got these fake bank notes edited with my face on it. You can scan them from any board game, i.e. Monopoly. I pay 1 euro (or dollar, or pound, or your own invented currency) for each Word uttered. For example: Q: Did you have a good weekend, Fernando? A: Yes Fernando gets 1 euro Q: Did you have a good weekend, Ana? A: Yes, I went to the cinema Ana gets 6 euros. The next student you ask will probably try to break the record and say something like I wen to a restaurant with my family and we ate a lot of fries (you can help them a Little with connectors etc) Regards, P.S. I can email the fake notes if you are interested |
