This is taken from Paugaliza because there were no flaschards for the vocabulary. There are the names of pieces of furniture and household appliances. 

This can be used for teaching new vocabulary or testing the learnt vocabulary.

It can be used as a memory game or pairing game. 

Further on, can be used together with Paugaliza's set named Furniture & Household Objects - Sets 2 and 3.

Further ideas:

Writing sentences with the words, which room they are in, what they are used for, etc.

Reading comprehension questions about the text and a vocabulary activity. 

Agatha Christie reading comprehension

Students practice talking about themselves and try to remember things about their classmates, by throwing a ball back-and-forth.  



Description 

Everyone stands up 



Say, "My name is ~." Then throw the ball to a student. Students will also say, "My name is ~." 



Students can sit down after they say their name, but they should remember who threw them the ball AND who they threw the ball to them. 



After everyone has sat down, the last person should throw the ball back to the person they got it from, who then has to say their name again. The ball should come all the way back to the ALT. 



Next, the person throwing has to say the name of the person they're throwing to, so "This is ~~." 



Repeat this going all the way to the end and turning around just like before. 



Next, say "I am ~~ years old." Then pass the ball all the way through.  



Next, say how old the person you're throwing the ball to, so "He/She is ~~ years old." Or, "So-and-so is ~~ years old." 



Repeat all this again, but with things like, "I am from ~~." or "I like pizza/dogs/Family Mart." 



This game helps students and teachers get to know each other better and helps students remember how to say basic phrases, like "I am ~~." or He/She likes ~~." 



Variation:  



Once students know each others names a little bit, have everyone stand up again and make a new order. Person throwing must say the name of the person they're throwing to. 



Next, have students always try to throw to a new person. 



Then, while students are trying to throw to new people, have them start saying new things, like "So-and-so is ~~ years old", or "So-and-so likes ~~." 



If students forget, they have to ask someone, "I'm sorry, what was your ~~?" 



Page BreakExample Sentences: 



My name is... 



He / She is... 



Sorry, what is your name? 

 



I like ... and ... 



He / She likes ... and ...

US EDUCATION IN PHOTOS: SHORT STORY

In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a spectacular
bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However bridge building experts throughout the
