GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER!
GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER!
Students are given stickers with their names on it. They're asked to think about 3 things they'd take to a lost island. When they've written those three things, they should go around the classroom, find a person and give her the sticker with the name and tell her the three things. For example, Paco wants to take water, an umbrella and food. Paco gives Anita his sticker with his name and Anita does the same. Now Anita has Paco's sticker and she "becomes" Paco, so she has to go around the classroom, find another person and tell that person Paco's things (umbrella, water, food) and give that person the sticker that says Paco. Everyone does that a couple of times and in the end we check if people get the objects right.

Activities Bank
Hey guys!
Remember that we've been talking about collecting all these activities?
Well...time's up!
Everybody will upload at least a couple of activities, warm ups, energizers, ice breakers, etc.
It's important to classify them into academic activities (where the aim and outcome have to be stated) and simple energizers to arouse the learners' attention.
I know all of you are creative and talented so let's find out what we do to promote an effective learning atmosphere.
