Teaching strategies
There are a variety of teaching strategies that instructors can use Games and simulations
to improve pupils learning. The list below shows you some
ways to make your classes more engaging. These are specific tasks to implement activity-based learning.

Speaking tests
Speaking tests should evaluate the pupils skills in presenting correct information using appropriate communication skills,
which include error-free language, appropriate choice of vocabulary and good contact with the audience. Pupils should not
feel threatened by such an activity; encourage them to approach the speaking tests confidently. Some types of tasks require
pupils to present information about themselves to the whole class, while others require pair work. The following are sample
tasks that follow the same instructions found in the Pupils Book.

Vocabulary Activities
Use of pictures
The following are various activities that require the use of pictures. You can use the Pupils Book, flashcards and pictures that
you or your pupils bring to class.
Activity 1
1. Sort flashcards into two topic areas, e.g. jobs and animals.
2. Mix up these cards with a random selection of other items and give the cards out to pupils.
3. Pupils find the cards representing the two topic areas and name each item on the cards.
Activity 2
1. Choose a topic area, e.g. forms of transport (Unit 5).
2. Explain to the pupils that you are going to say a vocabulary term related to transport, e.g. motorbike. Pupils have to look
through the pages of unit 5 to find as many pictures as they can that show a motorbike.
3. Once they find a picture, they raise their hands. At the end, pupils count how many examples they have of pictures of
motorbikes.
4. An alternative could be for them to find examples of all forms of transport in the pictures. See how many they can find.
Activity 3
1. Pupils bring in photos of famous people. Ask them to work in pairs to say what they think the person was doing at a
certain time, e.g. yesterday at seven oclock.
2. Pupils take turns to make sentences using the past continuous.
3. Alternatively, ask pupils to bring in photos of a busy street or event. Pupils say what people were doing when the photo
was taken, or say what there was/were in the photo.
Letters and concepts
Activity 1
1. Prepare a handout of a table of six columns, or draw the table on the board as below, and ask pupils to copy it into their
notebooks.
2. Choose five themes from the Pupils Book and write each theme in a column at the top (leave the first column blank, as below).
3. Now ask a pupil to give a letter of the alphabet. Pupils write it in the first column. They then work in pairs and fill in
each row with a word that is related to each theme and which starts with that letter. Note that sometimes a column may
remain blank if they cannot think of a relevant word.
4. Other pupils can suggest other letters. When the game is over, pupils count the number of words they have filled in. The
one who has the largest number is the winner.
182
Extra classroom activities
1. Odd one out
Choose three words from a vocabulary set, for example: lorry, motorbike, helicopter, plus one odd one out, for example:
holiday.
You can say the words, use flashcards, draw pictures or write the words on the board in any order.
Pupils say the odd word out.
3. What is in a word?
This activity is useful to develop pupils general vocabulary and to practise spelling.
Write three words on the board, for example: tea, soft, toy.
Write water park on the board below the three words. Pupils work out which of the three words use the same letters that
appear in water park (answer: tea).
5. Sequences
This game can be used for numbers or times.
Write a sequence of numbers or times on the board, but with one of the sequence missing. Pupils identify the missing item
by working out the sequence. For example, for time (the answer is 2 oclock):
12 12.30 1 1.30 ? 2.30
183
Extra classroom activities
6. The flower game
Tell the pupils you have thought of a word. They have to guess the word by working out the letters that spell it.
Choose a word they have recently learned, for example: onion.
On the board, write underlines for each letter: _ _ _ _ _
Pupils take turns to call out a letter. If the letter is in the word, you add it to the underlines. For example, if they say o,
put: o _ _ o _ .
If they call a letter that is not in the word, for example p, then you draw the first stage of a flower: draw the stem. Write the
letter p on the board next to the flower stem so they know not to use this letter again.
Continue the game until they have spelled the word correctly. If you have drawn the full flower a stem, two leaves, and a
flower with six petals they have lost.
7. What am I?
Prepare flashcards with the name of a job or an animal on them, for example: teacher, elephant. Give a card to each pupil
face down.
The pupil shows the card to their partner without looking at it. They must then ask questions to find out which job/animal
they are, for example: Do I work in a school?
Pupils continue until they guess correctly. If you wish, ask pupils to count how many questions they need to ask before they
guess correctly. The winner is the pupil who guesses after the fewest number of questions.

4. A story
This activity practises questions in the past tense which require Yes/No answers: Did you ? Were you ? etc. (language from
unit 6).
Tell the pupils that you had an adventure yesterday. They must find out what happened, but they can only ask you Yes/No
questions.
Pupils ask questions about the adventure. What pupils do not realise is that you are going to alternate your answers between
No and Yes for every question. So, for example if the first question is Were you at home?, you answer No. If the second question
is, Did you visit a friend?, you answer Yes.
The point of the game is that the adventure that happened to you will be invented by the pupils questions. This can lead to
some interesting and fun ideas! Encourage them to ask as many questions as they can.
6. Add a sentence
This game can be used to practise There is/There are (language from unit 10).
Go round the class. Each pupil makes a sentence about what is in a large shop. It can be any item of food or drink. For
example: There are some onions.
The next pupil repeats the first pupils sentence and adds a new sentence, for example: There are some onions and there is some
meat.
The next pupil repeats the first two pupils sentence and adds another one, and so on. See how long the pupils can go on
for!
