The presenter names some part of the body, for example, the head, and touches the hand. Children must follow those commands and touch exactly the part of the body that is named, and not the one that the leader touched. You can name body parts by adding numbers to them.
For example: one, two, three – hand!
2.Simon Says
The presenter says the following phrase: “Simon says: “Stand up (Sit down, Run, Touch your nose, Jump...).” Participants must follow all commands only if they are preceded by the introductory phrase “Simon says.”
3. The Opposite
1 participant pronounces a phrase or word, the other must name and depict the opposite.
Stand up – Sit down.
Stop - Move
Be quiet – Be noisy
Close your eyes – Open your eyes
Smile – Cry
4. Run-Freeze
The presenter says: “Run!” All the children run around until they hear: “Freeze! Animals! Participants must take the pose of any animal. The presenter guesses by asking questions: “Are you a bear....?” Children answer: “Yes, I am / No, I am not.” Such games can also reinforce the themes “Professions”, “Sports Games”, “Musical Instruments”.
5. Sea - Ground
Draw a circle with chalk or place a regular circle on the ground. “Sea” is the center of the circle, “Earth – Ground” is outside the circle. The presenter gives the following commands:
- Sea! (Children quickly jump in a circle).
- Ground! (Children jump out of the circle as quickly as possible.)
If there are a lot of children, you can arrange a competition - whoever jumped out of the circle last becomes the leader
5. Movers
We first practice different commands with the children.
Look up, look down, look left, look right,
Clap up, clap down, clap left, clap right,
Turn around and sit down
Touch something...brown!
Then one participant in the game gives commands, and the children carry them out. If someone performs a movement incorrectly, he leaves the game (if there are a large number of participants).
6. Eatable – Uneatable
The presenter throws a ball to the children, naming inedible or edible objects in English. When the presenter calls something edible, the child tries to catch the ball, and if it’s inedible, throw it away.
7. Hide and Seek
One child stands in a certain place, closes his eyes and slowly begins to say a counting rhyme in English.
Counter:
“Hide and seek” - we play together.
“Hide and seek” - whatever the weather.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 – I’ll look for you and find
While he is saying the counting rhyme, everyone else is hiding. Then the leader tries to find everyone hiding. Seeing someone, he runs to knock at the place where he said the counting rhyme and says: “Tap, tap on .. Sveta.” while calling the name of the one he saw. If one of the players runs out of his hiding place, then he tries to run to the leader’s place and knock on him, saying: “Tap, tap on me.”
8. Letters or Numbers
Use colored chalk to write numbers or letters. Then you name a number or letter, and the child tries to find and stand on it.
9.Where Is It?
The presenter closes his eyes. Participants hide any object. The presenter opens his eyes and asks: “Where is the...?” They help him find the hidden object, giving clear instructions in English: “The pen is at the bag...”
10. Hot and Cold
You hide any toy or object, and the child looks for it using your clues “cold-cool-warm-hot” (“cold - cool - warm - hot”). When he is very close, say the word hot.
11. Animals and Birds
12. Imitators
You name any animal, bird or profession, and the children try to portray what is named with facial expressions, voice and gestures. Whoever does it better is the winner.
13. Claps
The presenter calls a number from 1 to 5. Depending on which numeral was named, the children must clap their hands the same number of times.
Presenter: “Four!”
Children clap 4 times.
Whoever makes a mistake is punished. For example, jump or dance.
14. Can and can’t
Children listen to the leader’s question, answer it positively or negatively: “Yes, I can. / No, I can’t.” If the answer is positive, perform the named movements.
Can you hop like a fox? No, I can't. The rabbit can hop.
Can you fly like a bird? Yes, I can.
15.Colors
You name a color in English, for example, red. Children must find the named color on their clothes, on the street or in the room, touch it and repeat its name.
16. Bring me
Various things are laid out in the room or outside. The presenter asks the children to bring him some thing, naming it or describing it in English. Whoever finds and brings this item first wins.
Bring me a pencil….
17. Bob, Be Nimble
The child tries to jump over a stick (jump rope), which is at a certain height. If there are a lot of children, then you can arrange a competition to see who can jump over the stick (jump rope) at the highest height. Before jumping over the stick, children recite the following rhyme:
Bob, be nimble,
Bob, be quick,
Bob jump over
My brown stick.
Very soon, decorated Christmas trees will appear in our apartments and the magical spirit of the holiday will settle in our hearts. English grammar and new words will gradually fade into the background, giving way to a dreamy mood and anticipation of a miracle.
Let's combine this miracle with an English lesson!
Christmas for the little ones
My child and I are now intensively studying numbers, so this presentation, in which we will count New Year’s items, will be an excellent addition to mathematics lessons in English. And we’ll also help three reindeer find their way to Santa Claus so that he can deliver New Year’s gifts to the children.
You can also learn a short poem about snowflakes and surprise Santa Claus at the matinee:
Snowflakes are nice, (Snowflakes are nice,)
Snowflakes are white. (Snowflakes are white.)
They fall by day, (They fall by day)
They fall at night. (They fall at night.)
Christmas for schoolchildren
For children over 12 years old and with a language level of at least A2, you can talk about the traditions of celebrating Christmas in England and the USA, solve a crossword puzzle and talk about holiday traditions in Russia and the student’s family. The last task can also be used with adults.
Christmas for adults
We will definitely talk to adults using Speaking Cards and edit them a little, and watch the first and second episodes of my favorite series from the British Council, Word on the street (for shopping lovers there is a story about Christmas shopping).
Or let's listen to Mariah Carey's Christmas song and do exercises for it.
P.S. Almost all materials are taken from the ESL Printables website.
Happy holidays to everyone, dear friends! Let the New Year holidays leave only positive memories for you and us, and let us, adults, be able to plunge into the world of childhood, fairy tales and sleep!

Of course, let's wake up our tongues, Mr. Tongue, wake up!

It is for Mr. Tongue still morning. And we woke up a long time ago, let's say hello to Mr. Tongue.
Children: Good afternoon, Mr. Tongue!
ABOUT . TO ! I think you are ready for our lesson!
3. Main part
So, New Year is coming! Let's remember in English.
Children: New Year! (Word training.)
There are many guests at the holiday, but who is the most long-awaited of them?
(Picture “Santa Claus on a sleigh» and a card with the symbol of the verb “to sled” on the stand.)
Children: Santa Claus!
He looks like Santa Claus, you're right. Santa Claus is in a hurry to come to us. There is snow all around. Do we remember what snow is called in English?
Children: Snow! (Word training.)
What is he driving? How does is called? (The teacher points to the sled.)
Children: Sledge! (Word training.)
That’s right, that’s the name of the sled itself and the phrase “sledding.” The mountain ended, Santa Claus got on his skis (picture “Santa Claus skiing” and a card with the symbol of the verb “skiing” on the stand). Let's remember this word.
Children: Ski! (Word training.)
We came across a frozen lake, Santa Claus went skating (a picture of “Santa Claus on skates” and a card with the symbol of the verb “skating” on the stand). You know this word.
Children: Skate! (Word training.)
(Below are “support-symbols” that stand on the stand and serve as a hint for children.)
- Ski – go skiing (skis).
- Sledge sledding (sleigh).
- Skate – skate (skates).
That's how skilled Santa Claus is, he can ride everything. He's probably good with sports. Do you guys play sports? Who does exercises in the morning? (Children answer and talk about the benefits of playing sports.)
What do you do in winter? What can you do?
(Children, relying on the symbols written on the board, speak one at a time. The next one first translates the previous one’s phrase into Russian, then says his own in English.)
I 
- I can ski. – I can ski.
I - I can sledge. – I can sled.
I - I can skate. – I can skate.
And who is this? (Figurine “Dunno”.)
Dunno: Hello, children!
Children : Hello, Dunno!
Dunno is sad. He had already tried sledding, skating, and skiing, but nothing had worked out for him. How does he talk about himself?
(On the “support-symbols” stand: I ... Children take turns speaking for Dunno and translating phrases.)
I - I can't ski. – I can't ski.
I - I can't sledge. – I can't sled.
I - I can't skate. – I can't skate.
Dunno, I realized that you need to love sports, do exercises in the morning, and then you can learn everything. He promises us that he will not be lazy and will try to become a good athlete.
Guys, look at this Santa Claus (the above pictures with Santa Klaus), because this is not exactly our Santa Claus, not like ours. Where is he from?
Children: from England.
And his name is probably different? How can we find out his name? The friends of Winnie the Pooh, whom this Santa Claus met on his way, will help us.
(Picture “Cat on skates” on the stand.)
Listen to what the kitty will ask Santa Claus and what he will answer. Try to translate their conversation into Russian.
Kitty: What is your name?
Santa Claus: My name is Santa Claus!
(The children themselves guess the meaning of the dialogue, translate new expressions into Russian. Next, the new material is consolidated. The teacher repeats these expressions again, the children repeat in chorus. Then exactly the same dialogues occur between Santa Claus and the rest of Winnie the Pooh’s friends: a fox , a pig. First, the children repeat phrases for the teacher, then the teacher invites the students to speak in chorus for the characters from the pictures. Pictures with animal characters are placed on the stand as needed, for the names of the pictures, see “Visual Aids.”)
O.K. Do you remember the name of the English Santa Claus?
Children: Santa Claus!
Children when Santa Claus will come to us for a holiday, he will definitely ask us what their name is, and you will have to answer him in English. Let's try this now.
(A dialogue takes place between the teacher and each child - the use of new vocabulary.)
What is your name?
My name is (Sasha).
We have been working with our tongues for a long time, and now we will train our arms and legs.
Phys. just a minute.
Stand up!
(The teacher gives commands and, if the children do not know this vocabulary very well, puts cards with “support-symbols” of verbs of motion on the stand. Children perform teams. )
Sit down!
Guys, what do you think Santa Claus has behind him?
Children: Bag of gifts!
What could be in it?
(Children list possible gifts.)
And certainly in this bag there will be these toys, Winnie the Pooh drew them and sent them to us. We talked about them in the last lesson.
(The picture “New Year’s toys” is on the stand. Children are asked to remember the names of the animals drawn in the picture, their color and the text of the poem, which the children met in the last lesson. Next, the children recite the text of the poem in chorus.)
"A frog is green"
a parrot is bright,
a fox is orange,
a hare is white! »
There may also be colored balls in the bag.
(The teacher shows multi-colored cardboard circles and reads rhymes in Russian on the topic “Colors”; children insert English names.)
There is no passage for people
The red light came on - red !
We have to wait, even if we’re tired!
You see, yellow means - yellow !
The way is clear, sir,
Look, green - green !
I really love this color
He's blue like the sky - blue !
Frau's brown umbrella
This color is called - brown !
Two pigs entered the ring,
Both are pink pink !
Tell me quickly
The color gray is called - grew !
Every schoolchild knows for sure
White in English – white !
Every person should
To know that black is - black !
Where is the bitterness in the orange?
In the peel, which is the color - orange !
Well done! Fine!
At the New Year's party, Santa Claus may invite us to play a relay game with a ball with toys from a bag.
Let's play! You are the first team!
You are the second team!
We divide into two teams and take turns playing. First, the members of the first team each receive a toy, and the first one is given a baton (ball). The first person in the team says the first phrase and passes the baton to the second, the second to the third, etc. When all team members have said the first phrase, the baton returns to the first player and he says the second phrase, then everything is repeated. Each of you must talk about your animal. Now we will remember how we did it before. Let's talk about the cat! (Teacher points to symbols written on the board: - animal name, got - “have got”, - “ can », - color of the animal -is . Children say the following three sentences in unison.)
(The teacher reads the riddles, the children answer one by one. If they answer correctly, the teacher shows a card with the guessed animal.)
I am white. I can run and jump.
(a hare)
I'm brown. I can climb and sleep.
(a bear)
I am bright. I can fly and sing.
(a parrot)
I'm orange. I cannot fly. I can run.
(a fox)
Good children! Everyone guessed right.
Now let's listen to one song. It is sung by English students who know Winnie the Pooh; we already remembered him today. When Winnie the Pooh misses his country, he turns on this cassette and listens to the song. Do you understand what this song is about?
(Audio recording plays songs "What is your name ? from the audio manual of the educational complex for the second grade of schools with in-depth study of the English language I.N. Vereshchagina, task 1 and task 3.)
What is your name?
What is your name?
Now tell me, please,
What is your name?
My name is Helen,
My name is Helen,
My name is Helen,
That is my name.
(Children say what the song is about.)
What song can we sing for Santa Claus?
Let's sing!
(Children sing a song based on song No. 12, Galina Dolya, language course “Happy English”, part 1, publishing house “Khimera” 2000. Words changed by the author of the notes.)
One, One, One,
Giraffe can run.
Two, Two, Two,
Tiger sees you.
Three, three, three,
Bird in the tree.
Four, four, four,
Frog on the floor.
Five, five, five,
Mouse can drive.
Six, six, six,
Camel likes sweets.
Seven, Seven, Seven,
Lion is clever.
Eight, nine, ten,
Let's sing again.
Now, I think we are ready for the arrival of our English Santa Claus!
4. Summing up.
We learned that he was in a hurry to come to us for a holiday.
What's his name? How did he answer the animals' questions?
What is your name?
Children : My name is Santa Claus!
When will Santa Claus come to us?
Children: For the New Year!
Let's remember - New Year!
Children: - New Year!
And why Santa Claus is so skillful, he can ride everything?
Children: He plays sports. This should be done by everyone who wants to become skillful and dexterous.
Very good! At home, come up with riddles, remember poems and songs to tell them at the New Year's party.
And now the lesson is over!
