"Learning a foreign language , and the culture that goes with it, is one of the most useful things we can do to broaden the empathy and imaginative sympathy and cultural outlook of children."

HEY BUDDY, I TRUST YOU ;)

      Do you want to teach "giving directions"? This activity is a great way to do it especially with the young learners. Your pupils are gonna give both directions and find their way to wherever you wanna take them to.
      How to do:

  • You should first set up a safe environment (preferably garden or xystus with no dangerous or harmful objects around). This is really important because (if not) the students may have some undesired accidents and injure themselves.
  • Now you can set your race circuit one by one from the start to the finish. (You'd better number the obstacles to make them easier to follow.) The ones I used are below:





  • Giving instructions is the next step. The students are gonna work in pairs (One is the navigator:D who is going to give the directions like "turn left, turn right, go straight ahead, stop, walk... etc."; the other one is the blindfolded who is going to make the trust walk and follow the instructions, get to the end.
  • Most of the pairs can complete the circuit, If you'd like to make it more challenging and determine a winner pair, you could use a stopwatch.


         Don't forget to reward the champions :) Take it easy. See you soon...
