A starter my students love. A 40-slide PowerPoint full of fun questions and discussions points for students. Some are personal and some are general knowledge. Examples below:
‘What’s your most overused word?’
‘What is the only word that begins and ends with the letters “und”?’
‘Which three words best describe you?’
‘What is the shortest two-word sentence in the English language?’
A really fun starter that my classes love. Students have 2 minutes to list the top ten of a topic e.g. 10 most used words in the English language, 10 most popular websites etc. Timer included which you can change for a longer/shorter time. I have included 13 questions for your classes to do (and the template is there for you to add more). It really gets the students engaged.
Fun starter. On each slide, students will see a set of words being revealed.
