60 Kinesthetic Grammar Activities (Teacher Tools)

Description :

Language is more than words. But too often, we teach grammar as a set of boring rules, best practiced by filling out worksheets. 60 Kinesthetic Grammar Activities by Alice Savage and Colin Ward bursts this myth with a collection of activities that get students out of their seats and learning in a dynamic and active classroom. The benefits of kinetic language learning activities are many:
•teach gesture and nonverbal communication
•activate our embodied mind
•make grammar memorable
•change the dynamics of the classroom
•build community
•and raise students’ moods.

This book contains everything you need to practice 60 common grammar points in a dynamic and active way! All the activities inside are all low-prep or no-prep, easy to adapt to your classroom, and flexible enough to work with a variety of target language features.
