How Games can boost your lessons

Game: Simon Says
This is an excellent game for young learners. The only danger I have found with this game is that students never want to stop playing it.
Why use it? Listening comprehension; Vocabulary; Warming up/winding down class
Who it's best for: Young learners
HOW TO PLAY:
Stand in front of the class (you are Simon for the duration of this game). Do an action and say Simon Says [action]. The students must copy what you do. Repeat this process choosing different actions - you can be as silly as you like and the sillier you are the more the children will love you for it. Then do an action but this time say only the action and omit ‘Simon Says’. Whoever does the action this time is out and must sit down. The winner is the last student standing. To make it harder, speed up the actions. Reward children for good behavior by allowing them to play the part of Simon.

Balloon Truth or Dare
This is the classic truth or dare game with a slight twist which makes it ideal for language learning. Students will have the choice to pick whether to answer a personal question, a truth, or to do something silly, a dare.
The key here is to pick student-friendly options. Write down on small strips of paper dares that most students probably would be willing to do and questions most would be willing to answer. You can adapt the statements using vocabulary and grammar at the level you’re teaching.
Possible Dares:
Dance a popular dance.
Sing a class song solo.
Pretend like you’re riding a horse.
Snore or snort.
Make a sound like a chicken.
Possible Truths:
What did you look like when you were 10 years old?
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Who is your favorite musician?
What is the best thing about your life right now?
Again, both the truths and the dares can be adapted to the age and English learning level of the students.
Take the strips of paper with the truths and dares and put them inside flat balloons.
Blow the balloons up and scatter them around the room. You may want to have the truths in red balloons and the dares in blue balloons. Or, you can have truths and dares all mixed up.
Once class starts, each student picks a balloon and pops it to reveal the truth or dare.
You may want to start the game with your more outgoing students. Don’t let your shy students be last – that only increases their anxiety while waiting for their turn. Call them out to play around the middle of the class list.

Teacher talking time (TTT)
is the time that teachers spend talking in class, rather than learners. It can be compared with student-talking time.
⏳
One key element of many modern approaches is to reduce the amount of TTT as much as possible, to allow learners opportunities to speak, and learn from speaking.

1️⃣🔹Start with a smile🔹
#Teaching_Tips
It is important to make eye-contact with your students and smile as you greet them at the beginning of the lesson.
In my early years of teaching I was a bit scared of my students, and was tense and serious at the beginning of lessons. In retrospect, it took me far too long to learn to relax and smile - but it made a huge difference when I did. Don't be put off if some of the students don't respond; most of them will. And remember: a serious or neutral expression on your face does not convey a neutral message – it conveys a negative one (*I'm here because I have to be, not because I have the slightest pleasure in teaching you!'), which can be easily be changed by a smile. Non-verbal communication, including facial expression, body language and gesture, plays a key role in maintaining your relationship with the students in a class. It does not, as a popular myth would have it, convey 50% or more of the actual messages coming across in a conversation, but it's still important. Try searching online for the phrase "nonverbal communication" and you'll find a lot of very useful guidance. Most of the websites relate to personal relationships in the context of employment in general, but can be readily applied to classroom interaction. Note, however, that the smile can also be over-used. The recommendation to smile at the beginning of the lesson does not mean that you have to smile all the way through it. How much you do so of course depends largely on your own personality: some of us are more smiley than others! But remember that, like constant, indiscriminate praise, smiles that are over-used lose their impact. Use a smile to respond to a student's successful or amusing contribution; or, together with a favourable comment at the end of an activity, to provide the class with a brief but welcome break from the effort of concentrating on serious learning tasks.

6 Tips for Teaching Impromptu Speaking
1. Teach Hesitation Strategies
First, students need time to think, and they can buy this time with a few simple strategies. These include repeating the question or using gambits like “Let me think about that.” Students should practice this skill by itself, memorizing a few gambits and trying them out before they actually start answering impromptu questions. You can find detailed instructions for an activity on this skill here.
2. Give Students a Framework
In composition classes, students learn that thesis statements, topic sentences, and transitions make it easier for readers to understand their essays.
The same is true of a short, impromptu speech. It should begin with an announcement of what will follow, then answer the question, including a few details or examples to illustrate the point—connected with transitions—and conclude in a way that makes it clear the speaker is finished.
This structure not only helps the listener understand, but it also gives the speaker a roadmap with clear starting and ending points.
3. Start Small
The end goal might be for students to stand up and speak for over a minute in front of the class. However, students should initially work in pairs and build up to a larger audience.
It’s also good to start small time-wise. Students who are still struggling with fluency might find speaking for 30 seconds more than enough of a challenge. Have students use a timer and establish minimum and maximum lengths for their answers. While impromptus in a classroom should never be too lengthy, they might want to build up to a minute or more depending on the complexity of the question. “What’s the best way to get to this classroom from your house?” will require a much shorter answer than “How can a student at this school reduce their carbon footprint?”
4. Lower Affect
To reduce stress, begin with familiar topics and questions the students can answer easily with evidence from their own experience. That way, they can get used to using a formulaic structure and transitions without a huge cognitive load. Such simple questions might include “Do cats or dogs make better pets?” or “Why did you choose to come to this school?”
5. Add Skills One at a Time
In addition to practicing hesitation strategies before answering actual questions, you can teach one type of question at a time. For instance, you could focus on compare/contrast questions in one class and process questions in another. Each type of question will demand different introductory phrases and transition words.Another skill to add on is gesture. Moving a hand downward to emphasize a key word or turning a hand over to show contrast can add another layer of sophistication and make the answer clearer to the listener. To practice, give students a list of 10–12 statements, such as “There are three main reasons I support this idea” or “Now, pour the next ingredient into the solution.” Ask pairs of students to brainstorm gestures for each statement and review visual answers with the whole class. The next time they practice impromptus, ask them to incorporate one or two gestures into their answer.
Also, remind students that eye contact projects confidence, even online when they are looking at the camera instead of other students. When we are thinking, we tend to look up, but as students become more comfortable with the structure and more confident in their delivery, they should focus on making eye contact consistently as they answer.
6. Practice Regularly
It’s a good idea to keep working on these skills throughout the semester in short practice sessions. One method I use is to put students in breakout groups of three to four and give each student a question to ask another group member. The question can be given on a slip of paper in person or sent by private chat online. Students should have a set amount of time to answer the question based on its complexity. Even with brief peer feedback, this exercise can be done in as little as 10 minutes.
