Video tip: Noughts and crosses
Teaching tip
Watch Dagmar revising vocabulary and bringing some fun and competition into the classroom with Noughts and crosses.
Tip: Adding a touch of competition can really spice up a lesson. What about playing House in teams?
- Divide the class into two teams. Explain that you are going to play a game and the first team to build a house wins.
- In turn ask each team a vocabulary (or grammar!) question.
- If they get the question correct you draw the floor of the house on the board. Then ask the other team a question. If they get that question correct, draw a floor for their house.
- When the first team answers another question correctly, add the first wall; then the second wall; then a ceiling; a roof; an upstairs window; a downstairs window; a chimney, and finally a door. (In fact you can make the house as complicated as you like – but always complete the house with a door.)
