Attractive and interactive daily routine!

Hello friends!

Teachppy and I start our lessons with a daily routine every morning. We like to do it because is a fun warm-up, students feel trustful to speak English and we create a positive communicative situation. 

Through the daily routine students learn and acquire every day expressions (as regards, the days of the week, colors, the weather or clothes), we are also adding the content that we are learning during the course (animals, foods, and feelings) and we show them different verb structures (present simple and continuous, past, future, and questions). 

Nowadays, we are teaching in first and second grade. For a couple years ago, we changed the way of do it in both courses. For the first graders, we ask the questions and, one by one, pupils answer us. For the second grade lessons we created the mini teacher.

Mini teacher is an activity to motivate the pupils and to encourage the English use. One of the students, that changes every day, is the mini teacher and he/she has to ask (and check) the questions to their classmates. They are speaking English and they love it! Mini teacher has an outline to remember the questions. The (real) teacher is a support in case they need help.

We were wondering... how can we go one step further with the mini teacher activity?

I was calm because Teachppy always helps me!

As you know, Teachppy loves to use the ICT in the classroom and recently he discovers Genially. It is an easy-to-use webpage/app to make presentations, infographics, reports posters or guides. You can sign up very quickly (with your email adress) and use this tool. You will discover a lot of ideas, templates, samples and effects to create atractive presentations. It is a free creator, and they allow you to share your creations. The only downside is that, if you want to download your works (to use without the Internet) you have to subscribe in a payment mode.

You can find similar tools on the Internet as Powtoon, Prezi, Biteslide or Google slides. 

In this chance, we decide to make a mini teacher presentation using Genially. We hope the students think it is genial! It is a pleasure to show you!

Finally, I attach a video from Youtube, where I explain this activity and I show the mini teacher slide.

Don´t worry... motivate with slides!

Don´t worry... teach happy!
