COMMUNICATION PRACTICE ACTIVITY

Ask the students to stand in a circle. Take the ball in your hand and say “My name is ______.” Then throw the ball to a strong student and encourage him/her to say “My name is ______.” This student then throws the ball to another student who does the same. When every student has caught the ball and said their name, take the ball again and say “My name is ______, and I’m from ______.” Throw the ball around the class until every student has said “My name is ______, and I’m from ______.” 

 

PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITY - WORKSHEET

CLOUSER 

On the board write: 

This is my friend, his/her name’s _______. 

Students work in groups of three and take it in turns to introduce each other. Give each student a finger puppet and tell them to give it a name and a city or country. Explain that the puppets only “speak” English. Divide the class into groups of two or three and tell students to introduce their puppets to each other. 

If you don´t have a puppet, the students can do it by themselves ( each group goes infront, and each participant introduces themselves).
