Here are a few of the teachers’ questions I’ve had over the last couple of days with excerpts from my answers that you might find useful.
Richard asked about 6th graders:
… here’s an article you might want to have a look at https://genkienglish.net/6thgraders.htm …
Flavia asked about a demo class for numbers, colours and body parts.
… One idea that covers all of them is the Monster Drawing Game Or you could try the Doctor Doctor game Or a version of the Pink Fish game (using number, body parts and colours cards)…
Leei asked about Warm Ups.
…probably the best one to start with is Disco Warm Up or Good Morning or When, When, When or the TPR Warm Up game. ..
And Colleen asked “Do you think 6th graders should go to an elementary school?”
What a great question. In many countries they don’t. But if you put them in high school you’ll probably have quite a few kids who aren’t yet mature enough. So there are pros and cons to both. If I had to choose, I’d probably say “no”. But that’s probably me just being selfish and wanting an easy time in elementary school. What do you think?
