When you find yourself with 10 extra minutes left before the class ends and you are strapped for ideas on how to fill the gap play one of these games:
Alphabet Memory Game:
If you have a deck of alphabet cards in the classroom lay them out on a desk in the classic memory game style – break the students up into groups (perhaps boys vs. girls) and get them to match the cards up accordingly. Your students will get into the game quickly and it’s sneaky way to
If you find yourself with out the resource of alphabet cards…
X ‘n O Game:
On the chalk board or white board set up the classic lay out for tic-tac-toe – break your class up into two teams and designate one side as ‘x’ and one side as ‘o’ – explain the rules of the game and the concept
Then using the textbook as a resource ask one student from the ‘x’ group a question related to the current or recent lesson (ie: how do you spell ‘elephant’) if the student gets the question right, they then can choose where to put their ‘x’ – then do the same with the ‘o’ group .. if the first student asked cannot answer correctly, you may give the ‘o’ group one chance, if no one can get it, then drop the question and move to the next student.
These are great ways to fill those extra 5-10mins at the end of a lesson and the perfect way to review in a fun way. Enjoy.

“I'd like to start off by saying that my choice to teach abroad in Korea was one I know I will never regret! Footprints made it very easy to communicate with the school regarding details of where I'd be living and what I'd be teaching as well as taking care of my flight information. At the airport the morning we left, my boyfriend and I encountered overweight bags and extremely long lines at security, and we missed our flight by literally one minute. As we watched our plane pull from the gate, we just about lost our minds and any hope that we'd make the long journey we'd been planning for so long. We made one simple phone call to the travel agent, Claus, that Footprints set us up with. It was 6AM where he was on a Monday morning when we called in a panic. He said, "Stay by your phone," and we knew that he would fix this fiasco for us. Luckily, while Claus was searching for a solution, a woman from United Airlines was able to book us on another flight so that we would make our connection out of the U.S. to Seoul. We would like to thank Claus and Laina at Footprints for all their help in getting us to Korea!
