Warm-up activity

1) I explain what an acrostic is. Then I give them coloured paper and ask them to write their names vertically on the left side of it. Then I ask them to make a list of verbs using the letters. The verbs can be used only once. 

If there are three names starting or containing L, the first student saying LIKE will keep that verb. So there will be just one Like, one Have; it means they will have the challenge to think fast.

Warm-up - Games for ESL Kids

Attention

Good at the beginning of class to wake everyone up! Call out commands such as: Attention, salute, march in place...stop, sit down, stand up, walk in a circle, clap your hands...stop, run in place...stop, jumping jacks...stop, swim in place....stop, etc. At first students will copy you but later they should be able to do the commands without you. (Submitted by Tania Bibbo).

Exercises

This one is great for over excited Ss who need to burn off a bit of energy.  It's also good for classroom commands and numbers.  Stand the students in a line and call out instructions: "Jump 10 times", "Turn around 4 times" etc.  Other good ones to use are: run (on the spot), hop, hands up & down, touch your (body part), stand up & sit down and star jump.
