LIONS - APRIL 2015

LIONS - APRIL 2015

For Saint George's Day (Sant Jordi) you could get your children to make mini books, either to tell the story of Sant Jordi, or to back up whatever topic you are working on at the moment.

If you are revising physical descriptions go to 

http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/fun-games/spot-the-dragon and there is a great activity to "Spot the Dragon"

If you go to http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/short-stories/george-and-the-dragon 
you have an animated story of Saint George and the Dragon and a couple of interactive activities to go with it. You will probably have to prepare the vocabulary ie: knight, beforehand.

Holiday poster

Another idea for Lions would be to make a poster, in groups of 2 or 3, of a perfect holiday – using “there is”, “there are”, adjectives (hot, cold, quiet etc) , places, geographical locations,  can/can’t(do something)

Then when the posters are finished they write a list of things (5 maybe) of things they want to do in the Summer. (I want to …….) and then they all read all the posters, which can be stuck up around the class and decide which holiday (but NOT their own) would most suit them.

There are some worksheets to go with this idea on the wiki at

Kim’s game

This is a great way of practising “there is” and “there are"

1.   Make a small collection of about 10 everyday objects (some pencils, some rubbers, a pair of scissors, a coin etc)

2.   Show the class and make sure they know how to say everything.

3.   Hide the objects in a bag.

4.   Students must write down the ten objects from memory (they can do this in pairs)

5.   Get them to dictate to you what is in the bag. “There is a…………”, “There are some/6 ……….”

6.   As they dictate you write the correct sentences on the board.

7.   Students correct their own sentences.
