The simplest things are always best, and here’s a genius idea from one of our Swedish readers.

Instead of using “Mingle” in the mingle game, which isn’t the most useful piece of English in the world, simply change the chant to:

Walking walking walking walking (The kids are walking around)

Jumping jumping jumping jumping (The kids are jumping)

Running running running running (guess..)

Then STOP!

Simple and brilliant, just the sort of idea I like to hear!Β  Thanks.

Hello, I'm Richard Graham. When I was a kid I found school to be sooooo boring... So I transformed my way of teaching. I listened to what the kids were really wanting to say and taught it in ways they really wanted to learn. The results were magical. Now I help teachers just like you teach amazing lessons and double your incomes!
