Taboo game


The activity that I have thought is Taboo Game. Students would have to pick a card and try to explain the main word without saying forbidden words. The rest of students will have to guess the main word using concrete oral structures.
From my own personal experience as a Primary teacher, some students would feel fear when they have to talk in front the rest of class. I think that playing games, such as Taboo Game, could make our students to try to jump this barrier and use their English language to be understood. Not only Taboo does give us the change of improving our content skill, but it will also help us to express what we know, how to interact with each other and how to make use of specific questions like: Is it...? or maybe Could it be...? This could be used as a pattern in terms of communication.

Share a History project or activity which brings History into the classroom. If you want to use any other images teaching a geographical or historical process feel free to use it. Project: Roman cities Level: 3 rd course of Primary Education This project is closely related to Unit 7 in which we have learnt about modern cities and how they are distributed (modern district, historical centre and suburbs) and so, we can compare the differences between the buildings and streets in roman times and nowadays (size, shape, materials…). First of all, we are going to watch next video in which it is said how the roman empire was founded and there is a brief explanation about roman cities. After watching the video, I will divide the class in groups of four or five. Along two weeks, we are going to elaborate different roman cities with recycled materials such as, tetrapacks, empty bottles, containers, tins, cardboards, papers… To do that, I have prepared a Powerpoint for the ...
