Face-in-hole
In spite of my best efforts I didn't get a part in 'Star Wars'
or 'Gladiator'...
But Face-in-hole can be fun and, with imagination, educational...
Try it out at http://www.faceinhole.com/.
They can be used for a multitude of purposes.
Key skills, ESOL, Family Learning, Languages etc...- - for generating stories / personal anecdotes ( The time I met Paris Hilton etc)
- - to practice a range of grammar structures. Learners could create images that can be used for 'used to' and learners could either ask about the experience or 'creator' can make up anecdotes to tell them. e.g. I used to play football for Manchester United etc.
- - get learners to create their own face-in-hole pictures, using their own images and then come to class and tell the class about their imaginary experiences.
Often when learners have to talk about their own experiences, they can't think of much to say. Hopefully these resulting images will stimulate their imagination and they can have fun making up stories and anecdotes.
You could even try to convince your learners that some of them are true! (I did appear in the stage play of Austin Powers!)
PS: - I didn't save any of these, I used Snippy to capture the image!
