School Layout

Outline:  Students aim to place all the objects in the correct rooms in the ‘school’.
 
Teaching Suggestions:
  • Pre teach grammar ‘Where is the ~’
  • Pre teach grammar ‘It’s in the ~’
  • Teach names for rooms in the school

 

Procedure:
  1. Students work in teams of 4-5 students.
  2. Each group gets an A3 hand out of a ‘school’ and a set of cards with objects on them. The objects are in a pile picture down on the desk.
  3. Students play Janken for the order of play.
  4. Student one chooses a card from the pile and goes to the ALT and asks ‘Where is the ~’. For example ‘Where is the computer?’. The card must be left at the desk.
  5. The ALT answers with ‘It’s in the ~ room’. The student must go back to their group and tell their group the location of the object. The other members must put the object card in the appropriate room. Repeat with all the students in the group.
  6. Check the answers by asking student ‘What’s in the music room?’ or ‘Where’s the bacon?’
  7. Suggested list of rooms and items:
    • Music Room - book, computer
    • Lunch Room - TV, snowman
    • Teacher's Room - flowers, dog
    • Sport Room / Gym - pants
    • Toilet - toilet paper, ball
    • Computer Room - hamburger, monkey
    • Classroom - baseball bat, car
    • Boom Room / Library - jacket, desk

 

Variations:

  • Students put the objects in various rooms and they must tell the ALT where it is in order to get points.
  • Use the ____ room variation for lower level students.

 

Cautions:

  • If it is just the ALT telling students the location of things, the line can get very long. Make sure this game is done with the help of the JTL.
