A super fun activity !!!! I used this activity to motivate my students to speak and write in English . This activity will motivate less advanced students as well.
This is how I used this idea 💡
All the activities included speaking and ✍️ writing ✍️
1. I asked my students to choose their favorite animal and describe it! (The language focus was on reviewing body parts and adjectives)
2. There is / There are ( the animal/s) in my room , kitchen,... etc. (The language focus was on reviewing the structure of there is /there are and the rooms of the house.
3. I like / I don't like ......
4. I'm scared of .....
It was an amazing experience for my students !
Give it a go 🙂
