Games are a fun way for you and your new class to get to know
each other at the start of the year. Here's a fun one that you may
like to try.
Standing
in a circle (or sitting at desks if you prefer) ask each child to
perform an action or make an expression that starts with the first
letter of their name.
Here are some
examples:
Jumping Jane
Tall Tom
Sad Suki
Merry Mitesh
You
can also turn this into a memory game! Everytime someone new starts
they have to repeat the names and actions of everyone who went before
them. The only thing is the last person has to try and remember the
names and actions of the whole class! But - it's great fun because
the children usually find this funny.
We really
want to know about your handy teaching tips. If you want to share
your tips with other teachers why not send them in to us. You
never know, your tip may become ... 'Tipof
the week!'
