In a toy shop (grade 5)

    WHITE ELEPHANT SHOP

There are 2 possible games: one is called "White Elephant" and one "Change White Elephant.

An activity to do before playing this game (PDF)

Ideas for playing team gemes

Idea 1: Divide your class in two teams.

Open the "White Elephant" activity in two different pages and assing one page to each team.

The members of the two teams have to take turns to go shopping and ask for a toy using the correct questions (see the pdf exercises). They can't spend more than 20 £ so when they think they can't afford any further item they must say stop.

The team who spend the biggest amount of money (within 20£) is the winner

Idea 2: Open the "Change White Elephant" page. Divide the class in 2 teams. Children come to the IWB in pairs: they ask for a toy each and then they have to pay. If they can calculate the correct change, they get a point for their team. The team that gets more points is the winner.

This is a very good crosscurricular activity: students speak English and practice maths in an involving virtual context.

Build a calendar (Grade 4)

First of all let's start our work with some key words:



Open the folder in the link, find a page you want to modify, download it to your computer and start working on it: change picture, choose the languages you want to use in the calendar and remame the month, the days, check if the dates are ok, or modify them, add your festivals and holidays, and make up a cover for your calendar. When your pages are ready, you can print your own calendar (A3 format).

Link to the calendar template

If you want to share the work with your class, enter the virtual class in Edmodo 

PS: a tip for teachers!

If you want to start using a virtual class on Edmodo, but your students have not yet their own email address, try this: 

- register as a teacher 

- create a class (you just have to make up a name for your class, for example "The Bears") 

- register a number of students (the number depends on the number of computers you are using): for each student you have to create a USERNAME (that on Edmodo is a number) and a password

- write usernames and passwords on cardboards and give a cardboard to each student (or group of students)

Now you are ready to start working and sharing with your students!
