LET'S PLAY AND REVISE VOCABULARY: "GIVE ME FIVE!"

-

 HELLO! HELLO! 🤩


How are you doing? It's the countdown! ⏳The end of the school year is always stressful and the temperature isn't helping at all  🥵

But... teachers are here to help 🥰 ⬇️⬇️

Two days ago @teach.and.learn.english shared a post about REVISION GAMES (visit her account to read it) on Instagram and I decided to create a new version of the game called "GIVE ME FIVE" 😉. Today 3rd graders have played this game and you can't imagine how much they have loved it! 🤩

How to play GIVE ME FIVE ⬇️⬇️

1️⃣ I have created a wheel with the topics I wanted my students to revise. I have used the app "Wheel of names" to create the wheel

Wheel of names, games for kids, games to revise vocabulary

(Click on the image to play "Give me five"



2️⃣ I have divided the students in 5 groups and I have given each group a sheet of paper, a pencil and a rubber

3️⃣ It's time to spin the wheel! They have had 1 minute to write 5 words about that topic. I have used the app online-stopwatch to control the time

wheel of names, games for kids, games to revise vocabulary



4️⃣ The speaker of each group has been naming the 5 words. Group 1 has started while the other groups had to pay attention to the words they had written. If they were repeated, they couldn't mention those words when it was their turn. Each correct word meant 1 point.
**Each time a different group has started to name the words, so that each group had the chance to be the first

5️⃣ They have added up the points, but I have made clear that the most important objective was learning new words

➡️ We have played orally and I haven't taken into account the spelling of words. You could play a new version regarding on spelling and giving points if the words are written  correctly

Plus, you can use it to revise contents from other subjects too.

Do you like this game? How would you use it? Let me know in comments

  GOOD AFTERNOON! 💕 Well... or good evening or good morning, depending on when you are reading this post 😊 In this blog, I have already dealt with the following principles of CLIL: ☑ The 4 Cs ☑ Scaffolding ☑ Bloom's Taxonomy Today's post is about " The 3 As tool in CLIL ". Are you ready? 😉 The 3 As tool is used for planning CLIL lessons. Whereas the 4 Cs helps us in the overall planning of the unit, the 3 As tool is of great help when we plan the language our students will need in the activities we have planned. The 3 As stands for A nalyse,  A dd and A pply. Let's have a look at the three stages: 👉 Stage 1 : ANALYSE content for the language OF learning. This means the key phrases and the vocabulary needed. 👉 Stage 2 : ADD to content language FOR learning. This refers to metacognitive or learner's strategies, language for group/pairwork, understanding instructions, how to deal with not understanding... To me, this stage is highly important. If we wa

TEACHING VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR IN CLIL

  Hi teachers, Today I would like to talk to you about teaching VOCABULARY and GRAMMAR in CLIL . Should we teach vocabulary and structures before starting a Science or Arts unit?  After years of teaching with a CLIL approach, I confess there isn't a specific way to do so. I am going to tell you about my experience as a CLIL Science teacher. From my point of view, it depends on the age you are teaching and your students' level of English. When I teach 6-9 year-olds , I usually spend the first two sessions to teach and revise the new vocabulary that they are going to need in the new unit. And you may wonder how I do it. At these ages, I like using flashcards or realia and to play games with them. You can find some ideas about how to use flashcards in the post my dear friend and colleague Núria and I prepared: Let's see it with an example. The CLIL unit " A Healthy Mind into a Healthy Body " was divided into differents parts: 1) Introduction to Food 2) Where does it
