ACTIVITY 2

Our hands tell stories. Part 2

New stories with other students are told. They create their own stories and tell them with the use of their hands.

Speaking cards

Children read some information given in their cards , and they have to speak about it without stopping. The student who doesn´t stop is the winner. This activity is a good opportunity for students to communicate without being afraid of linguistic mistakes. 

 

Our hands tell stories

This is a very creative activity in which our students develop the 4 linguistic skills.

• First, they create their own stories with the use of given words.
• Second, they read it and evaluate it with a rubric.
• Then, they represent the story only with the use of their hands while one member of the group reads the story.

Superlatives ladders and snakes boardgame

There is no doubt that children learn much better when they play and interact with friends. Speaking skill is not easy for kids to be developed . It is necessary for students to have real opportunities to speak in a relaxing context, although they make some mistakes. Games are great tools to get this aim.

Cooperative speaking activity

This activity allows children to develop reading and speaking skills. Children are in groups of four. All the groups have the same text about famous people, but each member of the group has a different kind of reading exercises ( the level of difficulty is adapted to the level of our students). 

After ten minutes, they have to sit down with the people who have the same type of activity and then ,they talk about the information they write down. They correct it with the help of their friends, so they can talk at the end about these famous people as real experts.
