ICE BREAKERS.
1. "What's your name? My name is..."
In this video, you'll learn a quick and easy way to break the ice and help students become more comfortable speaking English with this fun clap name game.
If you're about to teach your first English lesson to new students who might be nervous, and you're unsure where to begin or what to do, this clap name game is a fun way to create a welcoming environment and encourage students to get to know each other, even if their English skills are limited.
In this activity, students channel their energy, coordinate their movements, and introduce themselves, promoting teamwork and building rapport among them.
Begin slowly and see how fast students catch on to the beat and have fun introducing themselves! They'll learn each other's names super-fast, and it's a unique way to step away from the usual "What's your name? My name is..." routine.
2. " Hello! My name is...." (ball-game)

Role-play in pairs. Then swap roles.Interviewer (I) & Candidate (C)
I: Good morning. Can you introduce yourself?
C: Good morning. My
name is [Name]. I studied Early Childhood Education, and I have
experience working with young children in a nursery. I am enthusiastic,
patient, and creative.
I: Why do you want to work in our nursery?

young children. I want to help them learn, grow, and feel safe. Your
nursery has a very good reputation, and I would like to be part of your
team.
I: What experience do you have with children?
C: I did my internship
in a nursery for six months. I helped with activities such as singing,
storytelling, outdoor play, and meal times. I also learned how to manage
routines like nap time and tidy-up time.
I: How would you handle a child who is crying or upset?
C: First, I would
stay calm and speak gently. I would try to understand why the child is
upset. Sometimes they need comfort, a toy, or a distraction. If
necessary, I would inform the teacher or speak with the parents.
I: Can you give an example of an activity you would prepare for children?
C: Yes, I would
prepare a gardening activity. The children could plant seeds, water
them, and watch them grow. This activity teaches responsibility, nature,
and patience.
