Introduction

A fun activity which allows for endless repetition and which provides the teacher with an often much needed chance to work with rhythm and pronunciation.

Previewing tasks

Do you have any activities which you use to practise concentration and which could be adapted to the English lesson?

Viewing tasks

1. The teacher seems to be doing most of the talking here. What language practice are the pupils actually getting and which skills are they practising?

Questions for discussion

To what extent do the activities in an English lesson always have to be "useful" or relevant to a particular bit of language?
