Thank you so much Annette! I made this video some time ago but I'm so happy if it can still help teachers with some ideas. Especially new teachers starting their careers. And thank you for all the work you doing preparing these young future teachers. 🙏😃👍
Hello Annette , I am a teacher as well. If you are interested in sharing some ideas and practise together feel free letting me know to share our whatsapp or skype addresses. Thanks in advance.
A ELT teacher trainee here! Thank you so much for these ideas! I'm presenting a demo class this friday and I was looking for some inspiration. Lucky me that I found your channel. The zombie game sounds fantastic; unfortunately, we're still on quarantine in Peru. Anyway, I'm sure I'll used it eventually. Thanks again and good luck!
Hi Natalia! Thank you for the kind response. I modified the Zombie game to work by winking, and not shaking hands which is really fun. Good luck with your demo!!

Nice list of activities! I love the ones that get students out of their seats, moving around the classroom and talking to their classmates. They're ideal for adding a bit of energy to the class.
What a great comment Nikita! I really appreciate your kind words. I hope to make more useful content in the future to help teachers. Let me know if you have any requests. 😊😊
@@etacudethanks for the response and writing my name in English correctly ;) I should switch it to English I guess, haha.. I am looking at your other videos too, great stuff! Nope, no questions, just pure information that I need ;) Cheers from your ESL college from Russia ;)
Hi, thanks for the video! With my students I usually play the Alibi game but we play it in a different way: At first the groups of suspects go somewhere and prepare their alibi and then they individually answer the investigators' questions. The inverstigator has to ask the same questions. If the suspects give the same answers, they win.
I like that! It's really fun when the investigators try to trap the suspects. It's also possible to place them in different groups so that each group gets a chance to interrogate one suspect at a time. 😃👍
Thanks, Eric! This would be helpful to my new batch and they are adults. I am more used to kids but now a new challenge. Their level is very basic(below to average). So, these ideas could be perfect at the beginning.
Hi Sayma! I don't know of you've seen this video, but it's got some ideas for teaching adults. :) I hope you are doing well!! th-cam.com/video/XPwU0ajVUc4/w-d-xo.html
Hi ! Your brilliant ideas greatly wake me up! Thanks a lot! I'll do these in my English classes in Japan! By the way, I have some questions. I'd like to know more about "Alibi" activities. What kind of preparation do I need to do beforehand? Such as the conditions and materials and the likes. :)
Hi Riku, thank you for watching. Alibi is great because you don't need any materials. Just tell them that a crime happened last night and you have to find the culprit. 3 or 4 students go outside to work on their alibis while you break the rest of the class into groups. These groups then think of some questions and follow-up questions they could ask. Remind them that they should go around asking questions, otherwise you get one student doing all the intereogation. The alibi students come back into class and take turns being questions by the groups. The groups vote for who the best and worst liars are.
Thank you for watching Alexandra! 😄 I love the idea of starting a speaking club. I have a document somewhere with 200 conversation ideas. I'll look for it and send you the link if you'd like.
@@etacude Hello there !!! Thank you so much for getting back to me )) It would be great to have 200 conversation ideas to help me)) at the moment I am planning to prepare a presentation to attract attention to the club and am working on the strategy and things that we could discuss in future

In the beginning I didn't think this would be such a great video, only another boring one, but as soon as you started with the examples, man! this games are so simple so good so fun!!! loved it! thank you for sharing this!! exactly what I was looking for! *About the dessert island game, which I wanna try with my one on one conversational class, what was the purpose of the drawing? sorry I didn't get that part. If they start by drawing anything, then you tell them they are on a desserted island, how do they use the drawing? Thank you so much again :)
Thank you for the kind words Margy 😊 Originally the drawing was suppose to be a way for the students to visualize the situation or items, but I didn't edit it the right way. I mentioned before that I have plenty more games and activities to share that I hope you'll find useful. 👍😄
@@etacude I had the same question with Margy. I'm still not sure about your intention after reading your response here though :) However, if I played Deserted Island, I would let students draw their favourite thing (or the most helpful one?). Then I would show them the situation that they were on a deserted island with their favourite/ most helpful thing. They would have to convince the others to keep them alive because of this ownership & how useful their belongings could be in this case. What do you think? P.S: Thank you so much for your sharing, Eric! I've learnt a lot from your videos. 👍
@@dingo3346 Another great variation, Di! It reminds me of an advanced activity where students are on a lifeboat and there are limited seats. They have to convince the others why they should have a seat on the boat. 😄😃
I really enjoyed this video, but I have some questions : when playing deserted Island why draw anything and which student will draw if I have a group of 4 students. The next one is hot seat, can you explain the rules please, like no gestures or liping the word etc, however the video was amazing thanks a lot 💕🎊👌
Is there some books recommendations that I can use to apply this activities in the classroom? Thank youuu. Your content is really inspiring. Keep being productive 🥰

Really appreciate such wonderful videos and activities! You helped a lot! But there is something bothering me in "Deserted Island activity in class". Why do students need to draw something at the beginning? A picture or an object? Is there anything related to the following part? I don't get it. Hopefully, get your answer back
Hi Chloe! I didn't explain it well in the video but drawing an object that they take along makes it more visual. With advanced students you can also shuffle the pictures around and tell them to explain why they should survive based on the item. I hope this helps! 😄
Thanks! Great ideas! The deserted island activity: I didn't understand why ask the students to draw something before the activity. Suppose somebody draws a flower. How is it related to the activity?
Hi, if it’s not much of a trouble. Is it okay if you could do a video on listening activities ideas? Your ideas are great, and I would like to prepare myself with interesting activities for my students one day 😁
