Creative things to develop English speech.

I use plastic containers as in the photo on the left to revise vocabulary and grammar structures with my primary students. I borrowed this idea from a speech therapist who was using it for her speech and language therapy, but what can suit for the lesson of English best where we teach students to speak.

This is how I work with it. The task of the students is to give a sentence describing the picture (for eg. Turtles eat grass.) If the sentence is correct they open the corresponding container and check if there is a small prize for them (usually it’s a sticker). As a rule, if one gets wrong, he starts to listen to what other students say and makes another try. In the end everyone knows the vocabulary and structures.
Such kind of speech therapy exercises work really well for the lesson of English.  It's really good for smaller groups, but can also be done with a whole class.

What else can be done? In the boxes there can be words out of which a pupil has to make a sentence. For eg. a cat - is - in - sitting - hat - the.

In the boxes there can be small pictures/words/set of pictures. Let the children from the class open the box/boxes select the task for the whole class.
