Teaching Suggestions

 

Play Charades:

Do gestures of various actions and let the students guess the action. Then, teach them the English equivalent, having the students following your actions.  This is often referred to as self-learning and builds students' confidence, but more importantly, it gives you an idea of the students' English ability.

 

Remote Control Students:

When introducing the target vocabulary, use the genki students in the class and treat them like remote controlled people.  Once you introduce 3+ actions, control the student around the room.  This simple activity will help keep the class' attention while create great listening practice for the students doing nothing.
