Total Physical Response is a great technique for getting pupils active and interested in your topic. Today at SK Jengka 5, Suzani Bt Awang and I co-taught a Year 3 review class on numbers. This topic is hardly interesting for the students, however using TPR activities s a great way to reinvigorate the topic.
In this lesson, an adaptation of Musical Chairs was used in the garden. The teacher assigned each student a number 21-30 and had them march around the garden. As they march, they count from 21 onward. When the music stops, the teacher calls out a number and those students join her on the side of the garden.
It is a simple activity, however it is very fun for the students! We can all use this as a reminder that adapting activities we already know and using TPR are great ways to reinvigorate a review topic.
