1 Warm Up Game!

Target Grade: 1-5

Target English: Greetings, verbs

NEW: Check out the new Genki Disco Warm Up song on CD vol 7

I use this at the beginning of each lesson, to get the kids awake, out of their seats and to

introduce some important classroom English. If things get out of hand later on, the

preparation you do here will be very useful in getting things back under control!

At the beginning you simply shout out commands at the kids. First of all simple things like

"stand up" or "sit down" are OK, along with "good morning". Also, try tricking them by saying

"stand up" when they are already standing.

As you meet the kids more you can add words such as jump, spin (a big favourite), eat,

drink, cheer, clap,

Later boy, girl can be added (much laughter when boys

stand up when you say "girls stand up"). Also big, small

e.g. big jump, small jump and quiet, loud e.g. quiet clap,

loud cheer.

Even 1st years can get quite advanced with things such

as "girls, 　 5 big spin jumps"

Or try using "play" e.g. "Play the piano, play tennis" or things like "Watch TV"

For "clap" or "cheer" get them to vary the volume as you raise or lower your arm - it's a great

"volume control" for the moments when you do want them to be quiet! If you want some

more words, try "cry" or even "zip it!"

Once you get past these basics, try some other topics from the songs ( e.g. emotions from

the “How are you?” song), and then start asking questions that the kids can answer. You

don't just have to stick to commands.

2 The Lines Quiz

Target Grade: Elementary 1 to Junior High 3

Target English: Questions and vocab practice

I’d recommend this for every lesson to make sure the kids remember and can use the

English you’ve taught!

1. Split the class into two groups. One lines up on the left side, one on the right

2. You ask the front kid in each group a question.

3. The first one to answer correctly gets to sit down. The other goes to the back of his/her

team.

4. The winning team is the first where everyone is sat down!

Make sure the questions come thick and fast. Examples include " What's your name? " "How

old are you" "What's this?" "What colour is this?" etc. etc. You can use anything from the

curriculum page on the Genki English site: http://genkienglish.net/curriculum.htm

The magic of this game is that it gets the kids used to hearing questions and responding

straight away, without all the customary "errr, ehhh" type pauses. It also lets the kids

distinguish between " How are you? " and " How old are you? " and is a great way to pick up

which themes need reviewing and which ones are OK.

This game is also great in Junior High, where all the kids want to sit down. Sometimes in

Elementary School they want to lose just so that they'll get to go again!

3 I Like Everything!

Target Grade:1-6

Target English: "I like...+ nouns" or any conversation !

This is a really cool game for quickly practicing vocab or conversation.

1. Teach "Do you like..?" and four bits of vocab (e.g. apples, bananas etc. or eating, singing,

etc.)

2. Tell the kids to stand up

3. Get out a stop watch and as you say "Go!" start the watch.

4. The kids pair up. They say the following conversation

A: "Hello"

B: "Hello"

A: "Do you like apples?"

B: "Yes, I do! Do you like bananas?"

A: "No I don't!"

B: "Thank you"

A: "Goodbye"

5. They change partners and repeat the conversation. BUT this time they ask about a

different food.

6. They find another partner. And again ask with a different food.

7. Repeat again, and again until they have used all 4 questions.

8. They sit down

9. When the last child sits down, the teacher stops the stopwatch!

You can also use it for conversation, such as " How are you? " or " Where's the...? " . Teach

them four replies to the question e.g. I'm hungry, I'm OK, I'm happy, I'm tired. When they

play the game, the first time they reply "I'm OK", the second time "I'm happy" etc. etc.

This is a great way to get the kids ready to sing the "How are you?" Song!
