5 End-of- the- Year Activities – P2

4. Round up activity

If you don’t work in tasks (later I’ll talk about this), it is a good idea to think of a final activity that integrates all the topics that you have worked on during the year.

One idea is to invent a board game. You can even let the students design it. You may decide to give some general instructions (like the number of squares, dice…) because that way you narrow down the task and it becomes easier (or more complicated, depending on which the rule is).

Students usually love this kind of activities in which they see (and touch) their outcome. In addition, later in the future they can play those games again. REUSE! RECYCLE!!

5. Red Carpet

I may write more about this in the future because I have many ideas for awarding students on their merits.

 

The idea of this activity is to have a very fancy celebration (like is the Academy Awards) and highlight their strengths and what they have learnt.

Before having the ceremony, you could devote some lessons thinking of the categories, voting and even designing the award itself. It’s important to make them reflect on all of them and not just in what they have achieved. Be careful!! Check that everybody gets an award because after a year everybody has done something meaningful, it may not be related to the academic aspect of the course.

I hope you liked these short ideas. I will write more soon.

Best,

Agustina!
