I have used this activity many times with a range of students of all ages and it always works well. I have recently updated the style of it.
Working in groups or pairs, one learner will describe the origami instructions to the other learner/s, the other learners will make the origami which is being described to them. The learners making the origami will not get to see what they are making which means the ones doing the describing really have to work on their communication skills,
At the end of the task they can reflect on how well the task went.
This is a fun activity which works on team building and communication skills.
You will need to provide square pieces of paper to your learners for this task.
For best results and to stop having to reprint, I recommend laminating the origami instructions!
This activity can last as long as you want it to last, I usually let the students take turns in being the instructor or the maker.
Have fun with this lesson and let me know how it goes by leaving a review, I would be very grateful! :)
