Are you looking for some fun icebreakers and warm-ups for your English classes with kids? Then you’re certainly in the right place. Keep on reading for all the details you need to know about 39 ESL Warm-Ups, available on Amazon!
ESL Warm Ups for Kids
If you want to get your classes started off on the right foot, the book you’ll need is 39 ESL Warm Ups: For Kids (7+). It’s a reality that most of your students will not have even given English a second thought since you saw them the last time in class.
To start right into your lesson with serious grammar or vocabulary doesn’t give your students a chance to warm-up their brains. Nor do they get used to speaking or thinking in English again. It’s the opposite of ESL teaching awesome!
The best way is to help your students ease back into using English. Then, you can jump into the heart of the lesson and your students will be ready to learn.
Why Start with a Warm Up?
If you start your ESL classes off with one of these fun, engaging and interactive warm-up games or activities, you’ll find that the rest of your class will go much more smoothly.
When it’s time to get into the serious stuff, your students will be ready to handle it. This means they’ll actually be able to learn it. Plus, kids like to have a bit (let’s be real-a lot!) of fun and you’ll find that these games and activities deliver just that.
They’re an excellent way to review material from a previous class as well.
Tired of Wasting your Time?
Maybe you’re kind of like me and want to keep things fresh and interesting for your students. So, you open up Google and search for something like “ESL warm-up” or “ESL speaking games.” You probably immediately feel overwhelmed by the number of choices.
Avoid the Junk
You click on a few of them and see that it’s mostly junk. You wade through the junk, hoping to find the one or two games or activities you can actually use. Except before you know it, you’ve wasted an hour and come up with nothing. It frustrated me so much that I decided to write a book to help out teachers just like myself.
There are dozens of top-quality ESL Warm-Ups, minus all the fluff and stuff that just doesn’t work. Each activity is well-organized. It starts off with a brief overview of the activity so that you can make a quick decision about whether or not it’s the right one for your class. Next, there are detailed, step-by-step instructions that start with what you need to do for preparation before class, how to explain the activity to the students, and then what they actually need to do.
Finally, don’t forget about the handy teaching tips. They’ll help you avoid some of the most common mistakes with each activity and will help things stay on the right track.
