• Each teacher has his/her own way of starting a class: with a song, with a prayer, with a game.

• Why not with an online resource?

• Increase your students’ general culture or prepare a little game for them.

• Opening English class has to be an event! Students are supposed to get motivated for learning.

• The simplest things can have a great effect on your kids.

• History, for example, gives them general knowledge. Cross-curricular activities are always enriching.

Take those bits of information and use the grammar or vocabulary behind it: weather, tenses, new words.

Remember, everything must have a purpose: have them make a presentation, sentences or a game!
