We turn tea into education

In order to WELCOME and WOW our new English Time students we prepared and activity that involved breaking the ice, writing review, dictionary work and …tea.

We prepared a treat consisting of a delicious Yogi tea sample inside a personalized English Time bag. The students opened it and with their eyes closed they took a deep smell. What flavours can you smell? Cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, cocoa shell, ginger, clove, liquorice, anise… many warming spices.

The next step was to read each Yogi tea Well-Wish and use a dictionary to translate the messages. Some of the Yogi Inspirations were:

-Give forgiveness. That is your greatness.

-Empty yourself and let the universe fill you.

-You will always live happy if you live with heart.

-Your greatest strength is love.

-Love has no boundary.

-The purpose of life is to enjoy every moment.

-I am beautiful. I am bountiful. I am blissful.

The messages really brighten their day!

Finally, they created a tea bag using paper and thread. They pasted a photo of themselves and wrote a short composition about them. They also copied the Well-Wish in English and the translation in Catalan.

Once home, they enjoyed a comforting and aromatic spiced tea!

“Joy is the essence of success”. Thank you Yogitea for inspiring us to create this lesson plan! It was a success!
