Swapsies Sports! ((APP REVIEW & GIVEAWAY))

Do you have students that love sports?  Do you have students working on matching, basic vocabulary, answering questions, following directions, and more?!  Keep reading!!!  This new app may be perfect for you!

The developers Spinlight has created a brand new app.  They recently contacted me and offered me an opportunity to check out and share it with you!  Remember, the thoughts and opinions are all mine!  

Above you will see the page you are brought to once you open the app.  If you click the two photos on the top left of the page, you can change the character.  

There are two activities: mix up and quiz me.  I like to start with mix up!

As you can see above, students have to move the photos in the three bubbles left and right to make a match of an uniform on the character in the middle.  Oh the giggles you will get as they make mix ups!  You can work on yes/no questions here: "do soccer players wear a helmet?"  It is a great way to review sports and sports equipment vocabulary.  It also helps that each sport has a color scheme to help you figure out what goes together as well!  Students need more help?  they can click the "list" button next to the "can you make a match?" tab on the top to see all of their choices:

You can take this list and easily do an associations activity: what goes with soccer?

Now time to check out the quiz me feature.  It is exactly as it sounds.  A little quiz!  A great way to review the vocabulary learned with this app and in other activities in your therapy rooms.  It also is a great way to work on answering questions.

Students can keep trying until they answer accurately which is a feature I really like.  I love opportunities for students to learn from their mistakes.  After several questions, students are rewarded with a bonus round (regardless if they get answers right of wrong.)  These bonus rounds have students locate different locations and objects within sports categories.  Below, my students had to locate all objects related to hockey.  As they click correctly, they were given a check mark as feedback.

Learn more about this $1.99 app by visiting iTunes.  To celebrate the release of this brand new app, Spinlight was generous to provide me 5 of their original Swapsies app that addresses occupations!!  Click HERE to check out my review of that app!

Pair work - Likes and dislikes!

Dear everyone,


I've recently been teaching Sports and Hobbies.

As those are topics which pupils learn really fast, I've decided to develop some pair work activities to practice speaking.

I've elaborated a table where the students would mark the answers they got from their friends.

The questions would always start with "Do you like...?" and they had to ask a list of 10 sports or hobbies to their partners. They would take their table and write "Yes" or "No" according to their answers.

I've noticed that most of them respected the rules and spoke English all the time.

The environment in that class was very pleasant. I could see that they were actually working and having fun at the same time.

My idea was to follow this activity by making a graphic in class showing the most "liked" sports among the students but unfortunately time was too short for all ...

Do you usually use pair work and group work in your classes?

I do use group work a lot and I think it's the best way to make the kids comfortable to speak as they don't feel as exposed as when they work individually.

Hannah Montana - Reading Comprehension

This is my last worksheet. I've prepared it for my elder students (4th grade). I wanted to see how far could they go with real texts in english.

The topic they are studying is Sports and Habbies so, after teaching vocabulary, singing songs and playing games, I tried to make them do a different task.

The fact that I used Hannah Montana for the text was a great motivation for itself.

I read the text out loud and (always in english) asked questions about the text which they answered very well.

After that I've made the whole True or False exercice with them.

At the end of the lesson I've aked the students to put hands up if they thought the text was easy to understand. I got 90 % of votes which makes me think I'll start using simple texts like this more often!!
