ATIVIDADES LÚDICAS: SUGESTÕES DE TRANSFORMAÇÃO DAS AULAS DE INGLÊS

É possível trabalharmos o vocabulário e a fluência em Língua Inglesa de nossos alunos sem “mandá-los” decorar enormes listas como se eles precisassem conhecer o dicionário, bem como é possível que eles adquiram uma segunda língua sem os transtornos gramaticais aos quais são submetidos. A seguir citaremos exemplos de atividades que podem ser desenvolvidas rapidamente, não requerem muitos materiais, mas estimulam e descontraem o ambiente ao mesmo tempo em que propiciam oportunidades de aquisição de vocabulário, fluência, e assimilação da estrutura gramatical do idioma-alvo: 1 Catch Time: very short Level: any Materials: ball (or other throwable item) Purpose: various review, student fluency Instructions: Choose a set of vocabulary items. The student holding the ball says an item and throws the ball to another student. That student has to say the previous item and them their own item. Alternatives: Students each have on vocab item. You say your own item and the item of the student to whom you’re throwing the ball. 2 Frozen tag Time: 5 minutes or more Level any Materials: cards (with words or pictures representing vocabulary), space Purpose: various review, fluency Instructions: Hand out the cards, one to each student and practice the vocab so that everyone knows their own word. One person is “it”. When they touch another person, they become frozen (can’t move) but their friends can unfreeze them. To do this, the friend tells the frozen person what’s on their card. The frozen person then either repeats or acts out the item. Then they are free. Alternatives: from time to time have students switch cards and teach each other their own vocabulary and change the person who is “it”. 3 Market Memory Game Time: 5-10 minutes Level: Upper beginner to intermediate Materials: pictures or lists of market items (fruit, juice, etc.) Purpose: to practice quantifiers, countable or uncountable nouns & memory. Instructions: This morning, I went to the market and bought ………..(some apples) Groups then work around the circle. Each must repeat all the items added by previous students and add their own. You can add a twist with the requirement that items must be alphabetical, i.e.., some apples, some bananas, a comb, etc. 4 Do It Time: 5-10 minutes Level: Absolute beginners to intermediate Materials: none Purpose: to understand spoken commands Instructions: • This works better if the teacher has a list of commands in mind (7-16 that the students have studied before) • Students split into two teams. • The teacher says a command. • The first student to raise their hand stands up and performs the command. • If they get the meaning right, they get another point, if not, the other team gets a chance. 5 Blind Olympics Time: 15-20 minutes Level: Beginner to intermediate Materials: classroom and classroom furniture, blindfolds Purpose: to practice giving directions Instructions: • Rearrange class into an open space • Make two (or more) teams • In each team one person is blind folded • The other students make the class into an obstacle course • Students from each group give directions to their candidate to reach the finishing line at end of the room. • Every time their competitor touches an item in the room they loose a point and if they touch the other competitor they loose two points (or any combination you like). Os jogos descritos acima representam uma pequena amostra das inúmeras possibilidades de incluir o lúdico em sala de aula, no ensino de uma Língua Estrangeira. Perdendo a característica de recreação, as atividades lúdicas são mais que isto: representam uma outra visão da prática pedagógica instaurada há tanto tempo nas salas de aula. O Lúdico não tem o peso de um método de ensino, mas pode muito bem ser adotado como principal norteador de nosso planejamento docente.
