Mr Ootes - English

HOW ARE YOU?

😒🙁😐🙂😃

In my class, remember these rules:

1. No phones allowed.

2. Always bring a charged computer with you to school.

3. Use computers only for schoolwork.

4. Three warnings result in a yellow card (an extra task to finish before the next lesson).

5. Be a good listener and raise your hand before speaking.

6. Always be kind to everyone.

Icebreaker Game: Everyone's Names!

In this game, we will all say our names and the name of the person sitting next to us. Then, the next student will say their name and the names said before, and so on until the last student says all the names. If someone forgets a name, they will start again from the end. The last student remaining without forgetting names wins!

Icebreaker Game: Same Here!

This game helps students see their similarities with classmates. You'll need:

Ball of wool

Group of students

How to play:

Form a circle in a big space.

The teacher starts by sharing a few things about themselves.

If someone else can say the same thing about them, they say 'Same Here!'

Pass the wool to that student but keep a strand.

That student talks about themselves, and the game continues until everyone has spoken.

For example:

Teacher: "My name is Abdulla. My family is from Egypt but now in the UAE. I'm the youngest."

Aisha also is the youngest, so she says 'Same Here!' Abdulla passes the wool to her but holds a strand. This creates a web of wool by the end, showing our connections as a class.
