In the last chapter we read about seating arrangement and the different student groupings teachers can use. Let's get practical! Why don't we suggest ideas about classroom activities we can use to ask our students to get in pairs or groups? Using English all the time, with students of all ages, how can we make them get in groups with the number of students we need?

One possibility could be to give them papers with names of famous people, popular sayings, synonyms,etc,whatever comes to our mind! They will have to stand up and find their partner. This activity could be both warm up for the class and a revision exercise, depending on what we write on the papers. Infinite options!
my acivity is called "jigsaw story"
the idea is to get students into 5 groups (let's suposse)and give each group a different part of the same story. once this is done, they have to comment in their respective groups what the paragraph the have is about. after some minutes, we take a member of each gruop and in this way we make totally new groups (there will be as many members as many parts we have divided the story). into.
each member knows a different part of the story. the objective is to have all of them comment on what they know amongst themselves. the final stage of this task is to tell the story in the correct order or to put the paragraph in the correct order. ( how redundant!) jaj
well. bye"!
Hello everybody!! In this "magazine flip" activity students are supposed to work in groups of no more than 3-4 people.
The aim of this activity is to describe people. The teacher has to give to each group an equal number of magazines for them to look for similar examples of what the teacher said; for example: "Teacher: find a man wearing a blue hat"
Once the picture was found in the magazine, each group has to describe other aspects of the person in the picture. The group which provides the teacher with the most complete description will get yhe highest mark!
remember that you have to suggest activities for students to get in groups! Instead of saying "get in groups/pairs" you achieve that by doing an activity which final result is having students group together.
