How English Games Help Children Learn

There are many ways to teach ESL/TEFL to children but one of the most exciting and rewarding ways to do it is by using English games. English Games not only engage the children, but also teach through play – and most of the time the children don’t even know they are learning until the time comes to show their knowledge! It truly is possible (and almost necessary) to create a classroom where the students not only learn but also truly enjoy their time there. Incorporating English games into the classroom can build interest in the class, put language in an interesting and meaningful context, give students a break from the pressures of learning a new language while giving the break a purpose, teach real world skills and, most importantly, build the student/teacher bond. Building Interest in the Class While many of us might not like to admit it, many children don't necessarily like the idea of being in our classes to learn a new language. Even more, as teachers we all know that even the

attentive children can get bored and lose focus on occasion. Incorporating English games is a great way to get out of the rut of language drills, worksheets, boring repetition and individual study. If you can find ways to keep the children interested in class (i.e. through fun English games), they will also find that they are interested in the topic – and will often absorb and retain more knowledge than if they are simply studying to pass a test or complete an assignment. Friendly competition is also great to keep children interested – it often is the one encourager that they need to actively participate in any classroom activity.

RUMBA SALUDABLE EN VISIÓN MUNDIAL

RUMBA SALUDABLE EN VISIÓN MUNDIAL

En el marco de la campaña de estilos de vida saludable que lleva a cabo Coldeportes con la secretaría de educación de Córdoba, aunados con el área de Educación física del Colegio Visión Mundial, el pasado sábado 12 de abril se realizaron una gran jornada de actividad física que tuvo valiosos resultados.

La jornada comenzó con una charla en la cual se expuso los objetivos de este proyecto que busca que los cordobeses y colombianos en general mejoren sus hábitos alimenticios y fomenten la actividad física como medidas para tener un estilo de vida saludables. Asimismo, se hizo énfasis que en distintos puntos de la ciudad de Montería están presentes ciertos grupos regulares lideraros por un experto en actividad física quien se encarga de brindarle espacios a niños, jóvenes y adultos para que realicen deportes ayudados también de aeróbicos.

Al finalizar la charla se brindaron a los docentes y administrativos visionarios una serie de recomendaciones que les permitirán cuidar mejor de su salud. Luego, los presentes gozaron de una actividad de rumba con aeróbicos frente del colegio, en donde todos los asistentes sudaron al ritmo de la música y de las orientaciones que ofreció el instructor.

Se puede decir que la jornada resultó exitosa no solo por el ejercicio físico que se practicó sino por el momento agradable en el que invitados y personal visionario se integraron y se divirtieron al máximo. Posteriormente, unos más cansados que otros retornaron a sus labores.
