Starting class-Warm up

Take into account...

12

A warm up activity is a short, fun game which a teacher or trainer can use with

students. The purpose of a warm up is to:

• Encourage the students

• Wake them up – first thing in the morning and after lunch people are often

a little sleepy

• Prepare them to learn by stimulating their minds and/or their bodies.

Warm ups should last about 5 minutes.

Warm ups are particularly useful:

• To help new students or trainees to get to know each other

• To mark the shift when students have finished learning about one topic

before starting on a new topic

Warm up activities are essential teaching techniques for good teacher and trainers.
