It ones one of those days that educators everywhere dread. I was 20 minutes into a 45-minute Secondary Two (Year Eight) English language period and realized that I had run out of material. After a moment of *internal panic* I gave my class of 30 girls a special 3-minute break. To their glee, I told them they could chat with their friends while I ‘searched‘ for a file in my documents.
Don’t tell them… I lied! I was actually using those 3 minutes to create a file on the beautiful, accessible and gloriously convenient design tool Canva. I created a very attractive presentation in no time for a fun and engaging game based on a simple premise.
Here are some verbs. Here are some adverbs/prepositions. Make phrasal verbs! The team to write as many grammatically correct sentences containing unique phrasal verbs would win a delectable prize: a get-out-of-jail pass for taking a nap in class (which was also a bit of a lie as I knew that my dedicated students would never use this)! They were enthralled. Class, sorted.
