Session 1D

Margaret Kinvig

Session Title:
Games, structures & ideas

Abstract:
After teaching for a few years teachers develop a set of tried and tested games and activities. They are known to work, are safe and eventually become… boring.

This workshop allows participants to share and explore different activity structures that can be used across a wide variety of content areas and ELICOS contexts.

Participants should come prepared to exchange their much-loved games, structures and ideas. Old favourites may be remembered and new darlings contributed by fellow participants. Participants can expect to find inspiration lurking in the most unlikely of places.

This session will be facilitated through a range of potential new energising structures that participants can start using in their classes on Monday.
