Activity 5

The magic spell!!!

 The aim of this activity is to recycle commands and vocabulary items (parts of the body, different pieces of furniture, places,  animals, action verbs, etc.)

Start giving your students different commands such as:

*Touch your nose, touch your head, touch your tummy, touch your eyes,etc

*Touch the table, touch the chair, touch the floor, touch the wall, etc

*Walk like a dog, walk like an elephant, swim like a fish, walk like a penguin,   jump like a monkey, etc

*Sit down, stand up, hop, clap, smile, run, eat quickly, sleep, eat slowly, etc.

 Then tell them to imagine they are God fairies who are making up magic spells.

(The objective now is to integrate what they have been listening to and produce it spontaneously).

You can give them some examples.

  “Touch my nose                “Touch my tummy              
   Clap                                     Smile

   Touch my shoulder            Touch my head
   Sit down                                   Hop
   Rabbit, rabbit                     Walk, walk
  You are a rabbit!!!!”             Walk like a dog”

After that you can ask for volunteers to create their own magic spell.  You can review any vocabulary category you have been teaching them such as:  food, pets, actions, colors, parts of a house, shapes, numbers, etc.

Every class try to ask a different student to provide his/her magic spell.
They can type their magic spells (Libre office. Paint) or create a PPT)
