ESL Activity: Spider Web

Hello visitors, in this post I will share with you a fun activity that can be suited in different ways in our classroom, it is called 'Spider Web'.

For this activity you only need a thread ball and a lot of students.

-Instructions-

1) The teacher asks students to stand up and make a circle.
2) Then, the teacher sets either the grammar point or vocabulary for the activity.
3) Let's say the topic is 'clothes'. The teacher grabs the thread ball and says aloud the name of  a clothing, throws the ball but keeps holding with one finger the thread.
4) The following student has to say a different clothing and throws the ball and keeps the thread as well.
5) The procedure is repeated until the ball has reached all the students or the vocabulary is not enough anymore.

A variation of the activity can be done by assigning each student a question related to the topic and when the ball goes to him/her, he/she has to answer such question.
