Hi! I'd like to share with you this video in which three kids make a roleplay simulating they are travel agents. They plan together a trip to Japan and I really recommend you the video because you will see many aspects we have wordked in class. I hope you enjoy it :)

This is another interesting game that stresses that children have to look at the small details. It can be played individually, in pairs or in teams but usually, it is played in pairs. Pair-work offers intensive, realistic practice promoting a friendly classroom ambiance in which multiplies the opportunity to practice the language. It is an efficient way of spending classroom time. I strongly recommend you to use it in the class!

Thanks Jorge! Both are interesting games which we can use in a class for practice different attitudes. With this one, for instance, we can work also the visual intelligence. Good work!

I always liked that game :)

Hi guys! Today I am going to share with you a game quite interesting. It is available in three languages and also has three different levels of difficulty. I used it last year in the practices and the truth is that children were highly motivated. Hangman is an example of competitive game. Pupils play in order to be the first to achieve the goal. This type of game is very motivating for students. However, teachers must teach them to enjoy participating and the right attitude when losing a game. Furthermore, 'Run and point' is another game that can be played in a competitive way. So long!

I really like this game! I think you can use in primary perfectly! It also includes different topics and levels! Jorge, thank you very much!

Hello again! Teaching, learning and classroom management depends on effective planning. Thanks to planning the teacher receives feedback on the effectiveness of the decisions made during the planning process, and modify and change those decisions when the students require it. Planning is based on values, so it is important that teachers are aware of how their own values can inform decision-making. Besides, this web points out that the main goals of the application of classroom planning function and formulate an effective plan that suggests seven fundamental principles: staff involvement, flexibility, stability, continuity, simplicity, review.

Hi fellows! This web talks about the importance of knowing the characteristics and features of our future students. According to the author, we should use a classroom seating chart in order to learn the names of the students fairly quickly, because remembering the students' names right in the beginning of the school year helps to develop a more personal and direct contact. On the other hand, the article emphasizes that we should teach and remind students at all times of the class procedures: * Listening to instructions before being directed to performing a task given. * During the work task Procedures. * Terminating the task on-hand. See you!
