Default Re: How to teach without wild games or activites?

If the kids are really that "genki" then you have the chance to employ all the activities we can only dream about doing in Japan. You might also be able to use online resources that aren't specific to esl, but primarily aimed and young learners. I wouldn't be surprised if you can find help on adult esl sites.

You should try role plays, turning the class into a restaurant, movie theater, theme park, etc. The kids could also try performing skits, puppet shows, plays.

I'm on my 2nd year of JET in Fukuoka inaka. It's a nice area, but the job really sucks. I usually spend most of my day on the computer. I'd like to go back to Europe someday. sigh...
