It’s Easter! + Lots of Games & Lesson Ideas

It’s coming up to Easter again, so for speaking be sure to teach the Genki English Easter Egg Hunt – the kids love the ending of the song – plus of course the picture book!

Ninja Tip: On the software, you get the picture books when there is a picture icon on the top menu e.g. here it is the mini Easter Egg picture. Lots of other themes have them too so do keep an eye out for them! 🙂

Super Fun Speaking Games

And as with all your Genki English lessons you have nice selection of speaking games depending on whether you have big classes, small classes, no-prep or if you quite enjoy making things we’ve got more complex games too: Chocolate Monster (my favourite game!) , broken eggs game, Easter propositions game and more.

Ninja Tip: Usually the first “recommended game” on a lesson plan is a “no prep” one that you can do with no preparation at all. These are what I usually recommend for most teachers especially on their first time through the curriculum. Then the other recommended games are if you have a little more time to prepare and want something a little more exotic!

Easter Crafts

Plus if you have many hours to spend on Easter there are more arts and crafts on the Genki English Easter Pinterest page – it’s got lots of great stuff!

Ninja Tip: In general it’s one hour, or one 45 minute lesson, per Genki English theme, that’s the most efficient use of time to get great results where you only have 1 or 2 hours per week. I wouldn’t normally recommend arts and crafts for these lessons for time reasons. However if you have several hours per day, like say in a kindergarten, then adding in the crafts is an excellent way to add in more natural language as you have the time!
