“In this day and age where a positive mindset and wellness are upper most on all our minds, these types of tasks are just what we need in our classes. Why not do it also in your online teaching. Let your students internalize grammar and have fun doing so as well. A must read.” — Rania Jabr, The American University in Cairo, Egypt
“The authors know grammar and they clearly know a lot about how kids acquire and retain new information. The result is a fun-filled book of activities that cater to a range of learning levels. Best of all – none of the activities require expensive props or lengthy prep sessions.” — Annette Allen

Description
Language is more than words. But too often, we teach grammar as a set of boring rules, best practiced by filling out worksheets. 60 Kinesthetic Grammar Activities by Alice Savage and Colin Ward bursts this myth with a collection of activities that get students out of their seats and learning in a dynamic and active classroom. The benefits of kinetic language learning activities are many:
- teach gesture and nonverbal communication
- activate our embodied mind
- make grammar memorable
- change the dynamics of the classroom
- build community
- and raise students’ moods.
This book contains everything you need to practice 60 common grammar points in a dynamic and active way! All the activities inside are all low-prep or no-prep, easy to adapt to your classroom, and flexible enough to work with a variety of target language features.
