Class 1B were very fast and active today. We done everything what I had planned and there was some time left for games. So we played a game called ''What`s my job''. Our current topic is work/jobs so our actives words are related with job/professions. The game is simple. I image a job (in this case it was an accountat) and the students have to ques who am I. They have to ask me questions such as''Do you wear a uniform?Is it a mental job?etc''. This game is convival and my students enjoyed it.
I add some pictures from the winter`s festival. Here are my students and a bit of me :)
