Step-by-Step Instructions

• The teacher walks in, stands everyone up and says: “pretend you are a table!” if you need to divide into groups, giving a little demonstration.
•  Then walk around giving praise for the most impressive tables. A few seconds later, the teacher continues: “pretend you are 2  pencils!” The teacher does the same, inspecting, giving praise, pointing out exceptional pencils.
• Then, follow with a few more.( 3 books….) This activity is great because it gets them out of their seats, burning off a little energy, concentrates them on the teacher and requires thinking in English.
