Tic, tac, tic, tac....toe

Hi there!!

We all know it can be really hard to get kids interested in the English class. So, we must be creative and try to get them involved in everything happening in the class.

This was one of my last strategies. We are reading "Harry Potter and the Philosopher`s stone" and sometimes it gets hard or boring (or both). When these things happen, we try a different approach. Last week, I told them to make a giant tic tac toe board (tres en raya in Spanish) using Harry Potter concepts, characters.... They enjoyed the making off, but they enjoyed playing even more. You can seize the chance to make a lot of revision: for example, I tell them to throw a dice and, depending on the number, I ask them a different kind of question (1 is for comparatives, 2 for past simple, 3 for present continuous....). If they guess the answer, they can put a counter in the place they have chosen.

We had a quiet and funny evening playing the Huge Harry Potter Tic Tac Toe. Why don't you try?

Enjoy!!
