Llega ese momento, cada 4 años, en que todo el mundo anda medio loco y/o agitado: los alumnos que no hablan de otra cosa que de fútbol (al igual que los adultos, por supuesto) y las teachers que no saben qué inventar para enseñar o reciclar temas a través de este deporte, a ver si los chicos se interesan...Y sí que se interesan si las actividades que ofrecemos son variadas, entretenidas, divertidas... y enseñan!
Les propongo visitar algunos sitios que ofrecen printables y lesson plans que cubren todos los niveles.
Suerte, que les sea leve y que gane el mejor! Y que todos aprendan!
Si quisiéramos empezar a organizarnos con cómo idear diferentes lesson plans a lo largo del campeonato, podríamos basarnos en esta página que, a pesar de que fue hecha para el campeonato 2006 y las actividades no están on line (no nos servirían), sí se encuentran ideas de qué actividades crear, las copio aquí:
Day One:
Activity 1: Introduction to the World Cup
Pupils find out the location of the 32 countries participating in the World Cup final.
Activity 2: World cup quiz

Day Two:
Activity 1: We play football

Continued project work about countries participating in the World Cup.
Day Three:
