FRUIT BASKET - Short Lesson
By:re
Make a big circle with chairs. Write 4 or 5 fruits on the blackboard. Practise pronunciation then give each student the name of a fruit. The teacher calls out a name (e.g. apple). All the apples must switch chairs. Have one less chair than students so there is always one student left standing. This student calls out the next fruit. This game can be played with any vocabulary category or grammatical pattern (I like , I play ). You need visual aids with small kids to get their attention and monitor their understanding. You can also cross-reference the game by using the colours of the fruit. If a student is in the middle three times, think of some suitable punishment. For third years, the person in the middle can call out sentences like I play volleyball and those students who play volleyball must trade seats.
