title="Language teaching"> </div> </article> <p>You ask a question and look around for a brave soul willing to answer, but everyone avoids eye contact. You feel one of those age-old teacher catchphrases slipping from your mouth, “If no one wants to answer, I’ll have to start picking people”. It’s a situation every language teacher knows well and it’s where an easy starter activity can come in handy. Here are seven to get you started.</p><p> </p><h4>1. Picnic game</h4><p>You might remember playing this memory game as a child. The first person starts by saying, “I’m going on a picnic and I’m taking…” to which they add a word beginning with “A”. The next speaker repeats the sentence and adds something beginning with “B” and the game continues until you’ve completed the alphabet.</p><p>It can work well with introductions too. Start off new courses with, “My name’s Ross and I like eating cake” and ask the next person to say, “Your name is Ross and you like eating cake” and then say their own name and something they like.</p><p> </p><h4>2. Hot potato</h4><p>This take on pass the parcel is a great vocabulary builder. Take a ball and say it’s a hot potato so you can’t hold it for too long. Announce a topic e.g. sports and start the potato going around the circle. Each person has to name a sport within 5 seconds without repeating what’s gone before, the potato get too hot to handle and they’re out of the game. The winner is the one left standing.</p><p> </p><h4>3. Just a minute</h4><p>Based on the long-running BBC Radio 4 game, give your students a topic and challenge them to speak about it for 1 minute (or 30 seconds for lower levels) without repetition, hesitation or deviating from the subject.</p><p> </p><h4>4. Stop the bus</h4><p>Ask each student to draw 6 columns on a piece of paper. At the top of each have them all write a topic e.g. country, food, hobby, girl’s name etc. When they’re ready, shout out a letter. They have to put a word in each column beginning with that letter. The first to finish shouts, “Stop the bus!” Give points for a full row or creative answers.</p><p> </p><h4>5. One word story</h4><p>This one’s pretty self-explanatory. The class creates an oral story as a group but each person is only allowed one word at a time meaning the class has to think fast and adapt their ideas as they go.</p><p> </p><h4>6. Embarrassing moments</h4><p>Working in pairs, ask students to find out about an embarrassing moment from their partner. Then ask each person to tell the group about their partner’s embarrassing time. It’s an easy way to break the ice with a new group and lighten the mood.</p><p> </p><h4>7. Question time</h4><p>Ask everyone to stand up. Using a soft toy or ball, throw it to a student and ask a question. When they answer they get to throw it to someone else and ask a different question before sitting down. Keep the game going until everyone has sat down.</p><p><em>Ross Clarke is a freelance lifestyle journalist and education advisor based in Spain.

At least I have used the picnic game or, in a simpler version, an alphabet game for asking for example what is needed for learning. This can be during warm-up session or after the break and is suitable for all training topics in the world one can think of. But since it all about learning, the trainer can ask - what can I learn today or what I need to learn or just general words connected with learning. An example could be: Air, Brain and Consulting until the Xylitol, Yoga and Zoom. The trainer can use the words found during the game also connect with the expectations to the course.</div><div>Another idea that came up is that such ideas as You kindly shared are not only good as starter activities but such games are also very good for providing variety during the learning process. It is essential to take into account not only the content of the training but also to offer to the learners some physical activity meanwhile. It is really good for learners physical well-being when learning is not only done while sitting.</div><div><br></div><div>Wishing fun playful elements to the training days, </div><div>Kadi<br></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment-forbidden"><a href="/en/eulogin?post-eulogin-destination=/en/blog/7-simple-starter-activities-language-teachers%23comment-form">Log in</a> or <a href="/en/eulogin?post-eulogin-destination=/en/blog/7-simple-starter-activities-language-teachers%23comment-form">register</a> to post comments</li></ul><div class="flag flag-anon-message flag-up-comment js-flag-up-comment-63436 action-flag"> <span class="label"><a href="/en/eulogin?flag_anon=up_comment-63436&post-eulogin-destination=/en/blog/7-simple-starter-activities-language-teachers">Likeme</a> (0)</span> </div> </div> </article> </div> </section> </div> </article> </div> <div id="block-loginorregistercomments" class="block block-fixed-block-contentlogin-or-register-comments"> <div class="field field--name-body clearfix field__item"><p><a href="/eulogin">Login</a> or <a href="/eulogin">Sign up</a> to join the conversation.</p> </div> <div class="field--name-field-cta"> <a href="/en/eulogin" aria-label="Join our community" title="Join our community"> Join our community </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="right-sidebar-wrapper" class="ecl-col-s-12 ecl-col-m-4 ecl-u-mt-2xl ecl-u-mt-m-none"> <div role="region" aria-label="Sidebar Right" class="region region-sidebar-right"> <div id="block-epale-collapserightsection" class="block block-fixed-block-contentcollapse-right-section"> <div class="collapse ecl-u-d-flex ecl-u-justify-content-center" title="Click to expand or collapse the right sidebar." tabindex="0"></div> <div class="ecl-u-d-flex ecl-u-mb-xl"> <div class="info-icon ecl-u-mr-xs"> <svg class="ecl-icon ecl-icon--xs" focusable="false" aria-hidden="true" ><use xlink:href="/themes/contrib/oe_theme/dist/ec/images/icons/sprites/icons.svg#information"></use></svg> </div> <div class="field field--name-body clearfix field__item"><p><strong>Click the arrow: </strong>use the arrow to expand or collapse the this section.
