transitions

switching gears...


 * (transitions :05 min) ** "walk the line" / "camina la línea" : Use masking tape to mark a long line down the middle of your classroom floor. You say a statement and for oral understanding they can use the line as an agree/disagree like. Or, like a spectrum they physically get up and stand on it somewhere to show understanding. It can also be true/false, or kids walk to opposite sides of the room if there is no tape. Also a good way to practice "siempre, nunca, a veces" with those words posted around the room- students stand near one of them according to the sentence. Ex: "Yo tengo tarea en la clase de historia." Then they move- the statements could be projected as well, but one at a time. EK

**(transition/movement)** "Name tags" : Kids are given the Hello my name is.. sticker (you can get these blank white) with a person's name on it (famous, historical, another student) They can either wear the name on the front and walk around and act like that person using informative handout, OR they can **put in on their back** and other students have to describe who they are. Also good for playing 20 questions and the class answers yes or no until they guess.


 * (transition/review) : ** "The Point" : kids are to fill out the small sheet of paper with the pointing hand on it, either individually or in groups of two trying to write in a short sentence or word: The Point of the class or activity today. [[file:The Point exit tickets .docx]]
