Description of the activity:

Introduction

One of our classmates called Maria is turning 12 next week and we have decided to make a party.

Organization of the class: we will make groups of four.

 Procedure

We are going to design some chart shaped cards, in which we will present the children to different supermarkets and toy stores. These charts contain three different toy stores with different items. The same item is going to be sold in each store but at different price. They will have to buy a present and make a cake, so they will have to select the ingredients among different supermarkets and they only have £20 budget for each group.  

Step one- We will have to divide the class in groups of four. Children must make a shopping list and get three items from the supermarket and choose a present from the toy store. 

Step two – Children will need to buy the items in different supermarkets and stores in order not to exceed the budget proposed and get the cheapest price.

Step three- With the different items selected from the supermarkets, they will have to make a cake with eggs, flour, oil or butter, and jam.

Step four- They will have to select a present from a toy store, depending on remaining budget.

Step five- Finally, they will have to explain in groups what items they have chosen, specifying where they were bought.  We will check the calculations on the blackboard.

Assessment

The teacher must play the role as a simple observer, supporting and giving the necessary feedback, especially with the spelling of difficult words.

In this type of activities, it is important to evaluate different aspects, team work and individual work, pronunciation, etc.  For this purpose, we are going to use the following chart:

	Low learning	Average learning	Good learning	Excellent job	Marks
Individual work
Pronunciation
Intonation
Group work
Organization

Estimative scale	Low work	Average Knowledge	Good Learning	Excellent job
Total score	1-5	6-10	11-15	16-20

I hope you enjoy the idea.

what is ......... wearing?

This post has the aim to provide a game to know better our classmates in  a primary English classroom.

What is…… wearing?

Age: 7 years old 3^rd  of primary school

Organization of the classroom and management

We are going to group the class in a big circle and then in smaller ones. We need to go to the gym or to the patio.

Aims:

-       To recognize different vocabulary related to clothes

-       To formulate correctly the question “what colour is X ?”

-       To develop concentration and memory.

-       To foster oral skills.

-       To get to know each other better.

Contents

-       Colours.

-       Clothing and possessive pronouns: My, his / her.

-       Present simple, and present continuous.

-       Yes/ no questions and short answers.

Material and resources

-        A Handkerchief.

-       Children´s clothes.  If the children are wearing a uniform, we will draw a picture in advance representing some simple costumes, and each pupil shows it to the others when necessary.

Procedure

  Firstly, the teacher sets the students sitting in a big circle. Afterwards, the teacher will ask them to focus on their mate´s clothes by asking them to have a good look at what their mates are wearing.

Secondly, one of the students comes to the centre of the circle.  Afterwards, with a handkerchief on their eyes, he or she will be asked about some of their mate´s clothes. What colour is Tania´s pullover? etc. The student in the middle can make another question instead of answering directly: Is Tania´s pullover green? etc,   and the whole group will answer: yes it is, or no, it isn’t.

If the child in the middle guesses the correct colour, the one who was asked the question takes his/her position and the game starts again. The teacher can take part in the game if necessary and can be asked about one of his/her pupils. We can use other expressions such as What is Pepe wearing?

 We can do the same in smaller groups in order to let all the students participate. When the one in the middle finishes the task, he/ she will move on to other groups. And all the groups will do the same.

Assessment

We are going to evaluate and assess not only the correctness but also the pronunciation.
