							| I like readingaol�s idea. I do that with children to learn action verbs or jobs and they love it. The only problem is that they do not have to use a wide range of vocabulary or speak a lot, but, since it�s just a warmer, I like the idea.  |  3 Mar 2010

							| Thanks guys.   I am a CELTA student and my tutor would like me to conduct a game that gets the students moving.  I am stumped? I can not think of anything?!?!? |  3 Mar 2010

							| MAke some binoculars with sheets of paper. Divide the class into 2 groups. Group  A stares at the other with the binoculars, while the participants of Group B make gestures and mime different activities. Group A students have to say whay the others are doing. |  3 Mar 2010

							| Make little activity cards with things students can mime on them - for example -

 or something similar! It �s like an extension of what readingaol suggested but with a nice quantifiable form.
 
 Hi again - hope you �re surviving!

							| Thanks.   How do you think I should stage this? My tutor wants the syudents moving around?   I could get a student to mime one and name each table a colour. Write the colours and on the board. I will keep a tally of the scores on the board. The tables with the most correct sentences wins! Do you think that �s ok?   |  4 Mar 2010

							| The table idea sounds great to me! Another way of keeping score is to use noughts and crosses - draw a grid on the board and if they get it right they can but a nought or a cross on the board! |  4 Mar 2010

							| Hello I am new here and I like this website a lot.
 Your idea is ok I think but I am going to give you another idea ok? You can prepare some action cards and keep them in a bag divide the class into teams and one by one they have to take a card and mime the action the other students have to guess the action and give a sentence in present continuous the team that has more sentences correctly wins.
 I hope this can help ok?
