#25 The Thank you Game (Intermediate)
This works well at the end
of a session/course. A very
simple activity.
1. Divide the board into
two columns. In
one,brainstorm the ways of
saying "thank you" in
English. There are many of
them!
In the other brainstorm the
ways of replying to "thank
you". There are many of
them!
2. Practice by saying thank you to students. Example - "thank you for always
coming on time, Juan" The students must use a reply that is on the board.
3. Using the Thank you handout, students go around the classroom thanking
their classmates. Each time, they check off one item and they can only sit back
down after they've run off the whole list. .........
A great, personal fun way to teach about saying "Thank you". Adapted from an
idea of Jill Hadfield and her Communication Games.
You might end this with a song - "Thank you" by Dido comes to mind as well
as "Thank you for being a friend" (I forget the artist!)
