Are you tired of using the same old routines to start every class? In this video I'll show you 5 warm-up activities that are perfect for online or in the classroom. Let's take a look. Hey guys, welcome to Ande the ESL Guide. On this channel I upload weekly videos on games, tips and techniques to help you out with your class. If you haven't already, please consider hitting the like button and subscribing. Cheers! Okay, let's get to warm-up number one. So this warm-up activity I call Finish What I See. Now you can begin with something very simple. For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 kit shoots, 5 kit job. Try again. Okay, go backwards. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5. Okay, mix it up, use letters, A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Now for this game you can also add sentences and words. So for example, Happy Birthday to you. Oh, wow, good job. What's your name? What do you like? Good job. So you get the idea guys. So say the following word, number or letter. Warm-up number two, I call Let's Sing. Now normally I use this to review the material I've taught in the last class. Instead of repeat the sentences they've learned from the previous lesson. How about Let's Sing? Okay, so for example, what do you like? I like ice cream. Let's Sing. What do you like? I like ice cream. I played football yesterday. Have the kids follow you. So I played football yesterday. Warm-up number three. I call this one Red Nose. Okay, similar to a game I've played in another video that I'll put a link up here somewhere you can check out. For this warm-up activity you have to tell the students a color. For example, I say Red. They have to run off. Okay. Go, go, go, go, go. Ta-da. So you ask each student what's this? If you say Red Nose, they have to touch the nose. If you say Red, here. Red, here. Okay, try again. Something blue. Go, go, go. Something blue. Okay, something blue. What's that? What's this? Oh, it's a blah, blah, blah. Go one by one. Then say blue. Head. Blue head. Blue. Tommy. Blue Tommy. Blue. Album. Blue album. Blue, blah, blah, blah. I try again. Different colors. Different body parts. And I'm sure your kids will love this game. Okay, let's have a look at activity number four. The way you play the game, have everyone stand up. So make sure they're on camera if you're online. How you play? Bubble gum. Bubble gum. Stick, stick, stick. Stick to where? Stick to where? Stick to your hands. So the kid with the other kid or the mother or father touch hands together. Okay, try again. Bubble gum. Bubble gum. Stick, stick, stick. Stick to where? Stick to where? Stick to your ears. So they press the ear together. If you have a TA for this game, especially if you're doing for online, it's great to have them just to translate the rules of the game. Okay, so let's have a look at number five. Okay, so this game will be one egg. The students have to follow you. So egg, egg in my hand. Follow me. Egg, egg in my hand. Egg, egg through it. HIGH. Egg…egh…Where did it go? Egg…egh…I don't know…I think it's for you…egh…egh…I don't know….egh…egh… EGG, EGG in my hand. EGG, in my hand. EGG, EGG, through it high. EGG, EGG, through it high. So you get the idea. Now another bonus game for you before we finish the video. Let's play tennis, okay? Do you want to play tennis? Yes I do. Okay, let's play tennis. Ready? Andy has the ball. Let's play together, okay? Okay, ready go. Gochih kochih pa. Gochih kochih pa. Gochih kochih pa. Gochih kochih pa. Oh yeah. Hello. Okay, try again. James, let's play tennis. Okay, do you like tennis? Yes I do. Okay, ready James? Are you ready? Gochih kochih pa. James. Okay guys, that's it for these five warm up activities.
