Tomorrow I will share one awesome activity that can be adapted for any topic. Stay tuned 👀👂😇😄

Here's the activity that my students and I enjoy immensely - Sleeping Pandas 🐼🐼🐼🐼. It allows you to practice listening and speaking. There's also focus on sentence structure. The activity was shared by David Chiesa, a language teaching fellow from the US, at a conference in Tashkent a few years ago. It has become one of my favourites since then.

🐼 Choose a sentence you want to practice. It can be a statement from the text you have read or a rule that you want to review. Divide it into four parts, e.g. "The most famous /British/ royal home is/ Buckingham Palace". Write them on 4 separate pieces of paper.
🐼 Bring four chairs in front of the classroom and call four volunteers to sit on them.
🐼Number them 1-4 and ask them "to sleep". Students "sleep" by closing their eyes and putting their heads down.
🐼When they hear you call their number, i.e. "Number One, wake up", they "wake up" and read the part of the sentence. They have to remember what they see.
🐼 After four rounds, everyone "wakes up" and puts the sentence together.
P.S. If you teach young learners or a beginner class, you can divide a word into 4 parts.
