6. Reading activity ( ANOTHER OPTION)

Well, 
I think everyone has played this game, it's better known as "the movie game". 
In my school, when it rains too much, we stay in the classrooms to prevent the students from getting sick. One of the things I always have in class are the called "

Post it". One rainy day I stuck my name on the head of one of my pupils. How wonderful! Everyone started reading my name and saying it all the time. 

When I understood what was going on I put random words in the heads of several students. To my amazement, the motivation was growing more and more. Recess was over and everyone went back to their classes. 

Weeks later, having prepared the activity well, I wrote numbers from 0 to 100, such as: thirteen, nine, twenty, fifty-five and many more. This worked! I split the class into several groups and asked them to read what number their classmates had stuck on their heads. 

Since then, every free second we have in class, we use it to play this game. I have done it with several subjects and it is very useful. You can use numbers, animals, verbs, nouns and so on and so forth.

Music and P.E !

Hello everybody,

I am very happy to be able to start this forum. I am not English teacher yet, but I am physical education teacher in English so I have many experience that I would like to comment. I love sport, I love teaching and in the same way I would like be able to teach my students to believe this feelings. ICTs. Everyday I use technologies (ICTs) such us: computers ,proyector, interactive white board, and do not forget INTERNET.

It give me many advantages on my classes because I cheer my students ups listening music, sharing music videoclips or some famous type of dancing. From five years ago I have been using music in my P.E classes, It gives me the opportunity to run my pupils. Students already know when they are not hearing music It is time to teacher's talk. And also, the motivation is growing up. In the beginning pupils does not feeling the music but, nowadays they are follow the rhythm of the music while they are playing. It is a fantastic tools and to improve this tool, sometimes I playing music videoclips but It is only when they are having a good behavior and It never happens, haha. So I give them a feedback: "If you are good I playing videoclips music".

I used to do the warm-up without music, but after Covid-19 I decided to play it if they brought me the song they wanted to listen to that week. It was amazing! The next day 80% of my students brought me their favourite song so I used the class list to play songs every week. The first one on the list would start by choosing. Today I can not imagine students warming up without music, it would seem like a different kind of class. For me this is my main advantage.

On the contrary, this tool has made me feel that students "need" music to do physical education. Sometimes we have to do the lesson outside the playground and I do not have music equipment. The pupils ask me for a song and a few of them are bored. Sometimes the internet is not working so I can not show the video clips. For me this would be the main disadvantage, new technologies have become essential in my physical education classes so when I don't use music, internet, projector, my students are not fully motivated. And when I say "my students" I mean 100%. What do you think? I hope you liked it, greetings to all of you.
