Five-Minute Activities is an invaluable source of ideas for language teachers. It is a resource book of over 130 short activities for the language classroom: some are well-tried favourites clearly restated, others are new ideas or variations. Teachers will find activities which can be used to: • help learners to learn or practise particular aspects of language • help students and teacher to get to know each other • provide a smooth transition between two major parts of a lesson • supplement a coursebook • introduce or round off lessons The activities are designed to combine learning value with interest and enjoyment. Most of them can be adapted to suit classes of different levels of ability, and in many cases there are additional suggestions for variations or extensions of the basic activity. Almost all the activities can be student-led.
