German: Bingo made active - Reflexive Verb Bingo

Chris here again. Today I have a fun activity I have created for a lesson on using reflexive verbs in German. This is a Bingo activity to help students practice their recognition of reflexive verbs, however, I have built in an output component by taking the standard Bingo format and requiring students to ask classmates questions on health and hygiene using reflexive verbs. Students will then answer either affirmatively or negatively using the reflexive verb from the question. Thus, the activity also turns into a race as the students fill out their Bingo sheet as they ask and receive answers to their questions. This format in turn allows all students to participate rather than sitting and only listening to the teacher with each student getting several chances to both produce and hear reflexive verbs being used. This also reinforces the vocabulary being learned. Teachers should circulate around the room ensuring correct usage. I have included a template below for download. Feel free to create multiple alternate sheets. Let me know how this activity works for you!

EFL: Parts of Speech Poem

When I was in high school, college and even throughout my masters I met a LOT of students who didn't know the basic parts of speech.

When I was in elementary school I learned a poem which started, "Nouns are just the names of things like rice and birds and snow and rings" it went on to explain other parts of speech, "When something is done the adverb then tells how and why and where and when" etc.

I heavily altered the poem to focus on what I teach in one of my classes and review the basics.

I also wanted to make it more dynamic and interactive than just a poem so I made it into a mad libs like assignment.

You can download it for free at TeachersPayTeachers  BusyTeachers there also is a sample of the poem once it is completed. If you haven't signed up for Teachers Pay Teachers yet click here to go straight to their sign up page (Remember it is free!). Comments and reviews are much appreciated! (More from Carissa here: http://eslcarissa.blogspot.mx/)

Are there any tricks or tips you use to remind students of the parts of speech?
