Imagination is power.

Hey there!!

Imagination plays so important a role in kids' life that we cannot wonder at their use as a teaching tool. Activities involving creation, specially if it implies to turn reality upside down, often get the best results. I can show you two fine examples.

Inventing a new and highly unrealistic animal can be a great way to practice vocabulary as well as some structures (to be, to have got, 3rd form of present simple...), and it's very helpful when it's necessary to remember some long, difficult (and often dull) words. This group discovered as much when they were told to use all the vocabulary they have studied to create crazy animals. now, they won't forget words as amphibian, whiskers, herbivore, night hunter... And their animals are really cute!!

Creating monsters proved itself as a great way for younger kids to remember simple structures (it is, it has got...) as well as adjective position (blue eyes, curly hair...) and vocabulary. And they has soo much fun. Now, my classroom is brighter than ever!!
