Let's Get Started!

Ramadan is now over and it is time to get our English program started! I have been assigned my teaching load which consists of 4 classes a week. I will have a morning class specifically for women twice a week, and a level 3 class two nights a week. I am very excited to get started. We have registration Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and then our classes will start the next week. I am a little nervous about teaching english, but I am 99% excited. 
We also have some fun social activities planned for our students. I am in charge of putting together games for our first coffee shop evening. If you have any fabulous ideas of group games that we can play and practice english with then let me know. I am working on adapting Taboo!

here is a good adaptation... everyone writes down (on separate small sheets of paper) any word or phrase containing 5 words or less. Split up into 2 teams and sit in a circle every other. have 2 hats, put all the papers in the first hat and as people guess put them in the other so they don't get mixed up. 1st round, its try to get everyone on your team to guess the words on the paper by saying any words BUT the one on the paper. Go till the papers run out, switch hats. 2nd round, all acting out and no words, 3rd round, only saying 1 word. This way everyone will become familiar with all the words :) By the way we have played this one together!
