This is a useful activity that can be use with children, it is interesting for them because cards are laid out in a grid face down, and players take turns flipping pairs of cards over.
You can apply to basic, intermediate or advance level, as warm up, presentation or practice. It can be used with pictures and students will match pictures, or picture-words(name of the picture), and vocabulary- vocabulary.
I suggested to use a big memory game in the board or in a wall, in order all the class can participate and the teacher control the all class.
Materials and Budget:
* Colored papers...............$0.20
* Glue.............................$0.50
* Printed pictures.............$0.75
$1.45
2. BOXES by Gisselt Romero
I consider that using boxes is a good activity, because as teacher the budget that we have is limited, so we can't spend a lot money on creating materials for a our classes. We can get boxes and do not spend money on that. We can recicle materials.
This activity can be used as warm up, using balls. Students point it out the boxes and they can develop their fine and grossor motor skills.
Gisselt prepared the boxes with pictures related with animals, she explained that teacher will mention a name of an animal and students throw the ball into the box that contains the correct picture.
I think that is useful to practice vocabulary and grammar. I would apply it using a gift box that contains materials, objects related to the class.
Materials and Budget:
* Boxes (the ones that we have at home)........ $0.00
* Colored paper............................................ $0.20 per unit (bookstores)
* Glue......................................................... $1.00 the bottle (bookstore)
* Printed pictures.........................................$0.30 per each (print copy)
$1.50

3. Puppets by Luis
I think that using puppets is a interesting activity that can get students' attention because of the materials and the change of voice that the teacher make. Also, the teacher interact with students.
Luis explained that puppets can be made with paper, socks, and fabric, and you can buy them on the super marker.

This technique can be use as warm up,, presentation or practice. You can teach vocabulary, tell a story, or teach grammar part. The teacher can change the voice and ask questions to students. It make it interesting.
4. Spinning Wheel
It is a good technique, students like this activity because of the colors that are use in the wheel. The teacher can design the wheel in different sections (numbers, colors, vocabulary, etc) Each students will pass in front and spin the wheel.
5. Telling Stories by Raul Montoya
He used a "portfolio" with pictures related to the story. He suggested that we take into account the gestures, emotions, A good technique is to change the story in order students are interested in the activity.
6. Name Tags by Ingrid Girón
This activity can be organized at the beginning of the class, in order to sit students in different way, We can use piece of papers with different colors.
Another way to use it is for take the attendance, is a creative way to do it.
7. Modeling Clay by Cristela Navarro
I consider that modeling clay is a good activity because students apply creativity. Students can work in the class modeling different objects: flowers, animals, etc.
8. Songs and Chants by Juan Escobar
Singing a song is one of the most interesting activitites for children because they like to sing, dance and get their attention in the class.
Our partner taught us the song "Days of the week"
and the teacher taught another way to sing the alphabet song.
9. Disposable Plates
Using this activity is interesting because students follow teacher's intructions in order to form the disponsable plate. It can be used as practice in the class and get students attention.
It can be used in order to teach vocabulary words, grammar, etc. She applied this with the family members.
10. Recicled Paper by Juan Carlos Henriquez
This is a useful technique because we can re-use materials, Jc created "Shakers" that can be used in a song or in otder to get students attention.
He used an empty can, paper, glue and he did shakers with those materials. Most of the time we do not have money to invest in our materials, so we can recycle material and use it.
I consider that all the techniques that were presented in this workshop are useful for us in order to apply new ideas for the class, and improve our teaching practice.
