Introducing yourself

This activity was also done in our class in the Pilgrims Course. Students stand in a circle and introduce themselves to the group using an adjective that starts by the same letter as their name and by mentioning two things they like doing, adding some gestures to their words. Eg: I’m silly Sally and I like cooking (student pretends she is stirring something with a spoon) and dancing (student dances). The next student repeats what the first student has just said, together with the gestures ( “she is silly Sally and she likes cooking and dancing”) and adds his/her own adjective, name and two things he/she likes doing, performing the actions. The activity goes on like that.
This activity appeals to different intelligences (intrapersonal, interpersonal, linguistic, kinaesthetic)and it is a good way to practise the present simple, like + ing form, the place of the adjective before a noun and vocabulary (adjectives and action verbs).
