TeachingEnglish Young Learners Activity Book Activities Activity 46: We are different Alma Balniene – Lithuania Age: All ages Maximum 15 minutes Large classes? Yes Mixed level? Yes Materials: None Organisation: Whole class Aim: To practise listening and responding personally to questions and statements. Description: The children stand in a line. The teacher asks questions or reads out statements. Children stay on the line or move away from it depending on whether they agree, disagree or cannot decide. Preparation: You will need to prepare the questions or statements to read out. Procedure 1. Ask the children to stand in a line. 2. Tell the children you are going to ask questions or make statements. Explain that the children have three options: a. They should take a step forward if the answer to a question is yes, or if they agree with a statement. b. They should take a step backwards if the answer to a question is no, or if they disagree with the statement. c. They should stay in the same place if they do not know the answer to the question or if they cannot decide if they agree with the statement. 3. Read out a statement or question, for example, ‘Do you like ice cream?’ The children step forward, backwards or stay in one place, depending on their answers. 4. Read out another statement/question, for example, ‘I have a pet’. The children step forward or backwards or remain in the same place depending on what is true. 5. Continue until you run out of questions or until the children can no longer step backwards or forwards. Notes This activity does not require that the children speak, so it is not stressful for them. 98 © British Council 2012
TeachingEnglish Young Learners Activity Book Activities Alternatives If you do not want the children standing all over the classroom, they can step back into the line at the beginning of each new statement/question. Each child can prepare their own statement/question, which they take in turns to read out. You can play this game outside or in the school hall if your classroom is crowded or if you want a change of scenery. No resources? No resources needed for this activity.
