The idea behind this book is to
provide a range of short activities that require little or no
preparation to deal with the situations outlined above. These activities
can be used at the start of a lesson as warm-up activities to settle
the children into their lesson and to switch them onto English.
Alternatively, they can be used at the end of the lesson to fill an
unexpected five or ten minutes when another activity has run short, or
maybe it has run long, not leaving enough time to do whatever else was
planned. They can be used at any time to bring variety to the classroom
dynamics, while creating opportunities for lots of revision and
recycling of language. Essentially the activities are ideas to have up
your sleeve in the young learners’ classroom to deal with those
unexpected moments and to help meet the learning needs of under
eleven-year-olds.
The activities selected range in age and level, including ideas for non readers and writers. A lot of these ideas involve movement, but very few resources; mostly just paper, pens, the board, and simple pictures.
