Are Schools the same in Other Countries? A2 – Activity 3

Aim of Activity

10 - 20 minutes

To aid with memorisation and pronunciation of school subjects.

Steps for Students

  • Click on the link and watch + repeat the school subjects listed:

  • How many subjects can you remember?
  • Play Taboo with your group or the whole class. Your teacher will give you instructions. Remember that you cannot say the Taboo word.

All the words will be subjects that you heard on the video:

For example:

 Taboo Word =English

  • ‘It’s what we are speaking now!’

Taboo Word = Geography

  • ‘It is when you learn about other countries’
  • Click on the link and ask students to watch and repeat the school subjects listed:

  • After watching the video put them in teams and get them to write (on board or paper) as many subjects as they can remember. Award points for the correct spelling + the most subjects listed.
  • Use the flashcards to play ‘Taboo’. This can be done as a whole class in teams or in small groups. One student must hold the flashcard above their head and the others must explain the subject without saying the word (or part of the word).

For example:

Flashcard = English

  • ‘It’s what we are speaking now!’

Flashcard = Geography

  • ‘It is when you learn about other countries’

 

TIP!

You may have other subjects in your school that are not listed here which you wish to include.
