1) Think of a cool activity/game with the kids
when ever you are waiting
starting the lesson
....
there is a problem
PLAY it!!!
Ask the kids what they want to play!
Would be great if the game has an english context!
IF NOT - better then nothing!!
2) You prepared a song where the kids have to fill in the words!
Now the copy machine is not working!
don´t worry!!
write down the lines on your flipchart
dictate some lines
show the kids the lyrics on your computer - and let them write
always be aware: the more THEY do - the better!
the LESS material (photocopies, ...) you need - the MORE independent you are!
3) Creativity
