TRAVELLING TO NEW YORK

Our next trip is New York, the city that never sleeps. To introduce these activities, the teacher can start asking the students if they know something about New York or if they have been there.

TASK 1: TOURIST GUIDE

The first thing that we are going to do in New York, is to take a bus tour around the whole city. We can do an interactive reading with tablets or chromebooks. At the beginning, they can reading together (by turns) the information of New York city and then the students will have to complete some exercises of fill in the gaps or answer questions to see if they have understood the tour. When they have finished the activities they can press the bottom finish to self correcting it.

The reading is taken of this link: https://www.liveworksheets.com/w/en/english-second-language-esl/222751 .

In this activity the students will practice reading skills and it would be for kids from 4 grade of primary.

TASK 2: LETS GO SHOPPING  IN THE 5TH AVENUE

Explain the students that now they are going to be actors and they will have to represent a play of going shopping in the 5th avenue. Form groups of 4 - 3 students each group. Each group will have to choose a situation and create a dialogue that they will have to represent it. The teacher can give the students 30 minutes to prepare it, before they do the rol- playing. In this activity, the students will practice speaking skills and it can be adapted for students of 5 - 6 grade of primary.

TASK 3: GOING TO A RESTAURANT 

There is nothing more American than going to a burger restaurant. Tell the students that they will hear a listening of some people ordering in a restaurant and then ask the students questions about what they have order. 

This exercise can be found in this link (with more activities of that kind if you want to change it): https://english-practice.net/listening-exercises-a1-restaurants/

During this task the students will practice listening skills. It is an activity for kids from  4 - 6 grade de primary.

TASK 4: LETS WRITE A POSTCARD

To finish this adventure, we can tell the students to write a postcard to their family talking about all the things that we have visited and what they have liked the most. In the other side of the postcard, they can paint something about the trip. The teacher can create postcards in websites like Canva or Genially, like the example of the picture. 

During this task the students will practice writing skills. It is an activity for kids from 2  - 6 grade de primary.
