ACTION FABLES

Prepared By: Nurul Ain Binti Abdullah (inspired from https://www.ecu.edu/cs-hhp/exss/upload/MSE%20Language%20Arts.pdf )

Skills            : Speaking skills, Grammar

Controls       : Free

Level            : Intermediate

Time             : 15-20 minutes

Materials       : A Mahjong paper/white board

PREPARATION:

Various sentence parts along with the corresponding physical activities for each sentences should be listed earlier on a mahjong paper or whiteboard.

Procedure

 The teacher reviews various sentence parts.

The teacher lists various sentence parts on the chalk board, along with corresponding physical activities for each sentence part:

a.       Article – clap their hand 3 times

b.      Noun – hold their friends’ hand

c.       Verb – hold their nose and said ‘krik krik’ 2 times

d.      Adverb – show ‘peace’ symbol and say ‘cheese’

e.       Adjective – lift up both of their hands

f.       Pronoun – clap both of their cheeks 3 times

g.      Preposition – do a star jump

h.      Conjunction – stand up and sit down simultaneously (3 times)

      The student who sits in the first seat on the first row of desks says one word to begin a sentence (i.e., “The”).

       All students complete the corresponding activity for that sentence part.

      The 2nd student in that row then adds another word (i.e., “green”) and students complete the corresponding activity for that sentence part.

      This continues going down each row so that the class creates their own silly story, each student adding one word at a time to form a sentence.

      

      COMMENT:

       This game is actually build to enhance students creative thinking skills and students knowledge on part of speech. I choose this game because it is not just a sit-and-think game, instead they have to do some gestures while thinking. It was aimed to make the students being active and at the same time learn something.
