 Printable Lesson Plans Genki English CDs:  Volume 1  Volume 2  Volume 3  Volume 4  Volume 5  Volume 6   New CD Vol. 7   MP3 Songs |
Take any problem in the World and it's invariably caused ( or made worse)
by a lack of education. Too many kids hate school because it's too boring.
The aim of Genki Learning is to have all subjects in all countries taught
in a fun, engaging and effective way. There are already a few million kids
benefiting from this, and even a whole country where the government has
put it in all their schools. But there's still a long way to go!
While I'm on the road you'll hear about my travels & workshops, and
when I'm doing studio work I'll keep you up to date with ideas, updates
to the site and some of my favourite teaching resources. So if you want
to find out what's it's like behind the scenes or how & why I do what
I do or even if you're just nosey or a bit bored, have a read.
I'll update the diary as often as I can, so keep coming back. And of course
whilst I'm away, the office staff are always ready to send off your CD orders just as soon as you send them in!

Today you have the completion of Jeff’s High School Curriculum & Worksheets. The new items are the remainder of the fall term and the Winter term ( which is already over in many high schools!). If you’re in senior high be sure to take a look and tell any friends about the page, and even if you don’t teach there it’s nice to have a read through and get some different perspective of games and ideas and things.
From next term this should prove a great resource for new ALTs and if anyone else has any high school or junior high school materials, please send them in, they are always very much in demand!
The game of the day is Jeff’s Menu game from the food theme in the fall term. ( You need to scroll down the page a bit!). Suitable for either junior or senior high. Thanks Jeff!
To go with yesterday’s “How many … do you have?” song, today we have the “How many?” game. The nice thing about this game is you can use it to review any set of vocab or classroom objects such as pens, pencils etc.
You also can try the mingle game, have the kids sing the song and dance in a circle with the mp3, “How many … do you have?”, 1-12 etc. then you stop the music and say a number. The kids have to get into groups of that number and sit down as fast as they can!
To celebrate the Academy Awards this evening we interrupt our “Game a Day” series to present you with the all singing, all dancing “How many … do you have?” song!
It’s a lot more “cutesy” than the normal Genki Songs, so it’s up here as a free bonus download for you. It should work great with younger kids, and the music is perfect for this week!
Enjoy!
Here we have another game sent in by Nigel, it’s another epic battle game called “9 lives - Barbarians & Romans“, should be lots of fun!
If you’re a user of the del.icio.us bookmarking site, you’ll also find links at the bottom of each page on the site so you can remember which ideas you like the best.
And I’ve also remixed the top left menu which should make it easier for you to use, and for your students to find their games and things more easily. Enjoy!
I’ve had to change the name of today’s game, sent in by Rick, to “The Disaster Game” ( you’ll see why in the instructions), and it’s a really good game. Of course don’t even think about using it if you think it will upset your kids!
I’ve also added in a load of new Genki Japan games including months of the year, seafood, action words, adjectives, Doctor Doctor and a guide to self introductions. It’s giving a lot of teachers a new viewpoint on how their kids learn, so if you haven’t already, have a try!
Yesterday we had a higher level activity, so for today here’s a really simple idea for practising numbers either 1 to 20, or up to the tens of thousands. Enjoy Emily’s Number Golf.
