thai3 Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 My friend's uncle is a headmaster in Rangsit and she has asked me to visit the school (up to 14 yo) next week when I am over there. She sees this as a big favour, and I am really interested to go round another school as I have only visited them in issan. The problem is she expects me to entertain them in some way, and I can imagine being faces with an expectant rows of bright faces and not being able to think of much beyond asking who is the naughtiest kid in the class, and answering the usual questions about have I got a thai wife and do I like manchester United. Any ideas for quick games, or ways of getting them to laugh without props or setting fire to the school would be most welcome .-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidel Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 First, ask the kids to ask you questions about your country. Start the ball rolling by asking some of the kids questions. This... if it works, should take up some time. Ask them about football.... Michael Owen, David Beckham.. Ask them why they like them... you'll get some good replies. Ask them about Osama Bin Laden and G W Bush. Make some jokes. Get them talking about Britney Spears and D2B and all those terrible boy bands. If all this fails... play hangman... or word snake, where you write a word on the BB and they have to write a new word beginning with the final letter of the word you wrote and then continue it.... make 2 teams so they can compete... boys against girls etc... Easy as... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashman Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Write the alphabet on the white board, then write the name of a country that begins with A next to the letter A. See if the students can tell you the names of countries that begin with the other letters of the alphabet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibblies Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Ask them if they've ever seen a grown man naked? You might get more answers if you move this thread to the board bar where more teachers might be lurking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 You can play a game 'who want to be a millionair' set the questions ,separate them into 2 groups.That would bring so much fun. You could even get them some snacks as a prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thai3 Posted August 15, 2002 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Thanks for the suggestions, I might try the word snake, although I have my doubts on the ask a country game. Thai's seem even worse than Americans when it comes to geography, maybe change it to towns in thailand starting with A, er can't think of one myself, maybe names of singers would be better.-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultras67 Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 I can definately concur that Thai kids have no clue what is happening outside their little world. I was teaching flags / geography to my lot a few weeks ago and from Burma, Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia they only managed to recognise Malaysia and that was with one kid thinking it was the American flag ! You have to worry about the future. I am convinced that the only reason private language + maths + science schools exist is because the majority of kids are too f****** lazy to work during their normal school.
