Speaking about ourselves and our family is one of the first things we learn when studying a second language. By DBH1 most students are already familiar with some of this vocabulary, that is why we can make this activity a little bit more fun by turning it into an speaking and try to know better your students.
- Ask students to bring a photo (or more than one) of their family for the next class. They can bring them printed or on a flash drive (depends on the school facilities).
- In the next class, show them pictures of your family first. Introduce the different members of the family, answer questions and write the words on the blackboard. Or, if you prefer, you can show them this video:
- Hand them this family tree worksheet. Tell them to fill in as many blanks as they can with their family members' names and their relationship with them.
- Ask if anyone wants to show the rest of the class the pictures of their family. Encourage them, but make it totally voluntary. Let the ones that want to introduce their families do it with the help of the family tree worksheet and ask questions about the pictures and family members (classmates should can also ask questions).
That's all! Hope this activity works as good as it usully does in my classes. Please, make any suggestion you find necessary.
