ABSTRACT
Do you want to be a boring teacher or an interesting teacher? The purpose of this presentation is to offer participants fun materials for teaching English to children. It is not just a collection of activities to provide light relief for learners (and for teachers). To be sure, fun activities have a place in the classroom for helping create that friendly and co-operative atmosphere so important for language learning, but they can offer much more. They are themselves vehicles for language, offering the learner opportunities to practice listening, speaking, and other important communicative skills. They thus provide both language learning content and processes, both subject matter to be learned as well as practice in language learning. A variety of "just for fun activities" will be collaborated on in this presentation. Further, a mind map of FUN ACTIVITIES will be created at the end of the presentation.
