you are a life-saver! today is my first day teaching in Taiwanese cramp school, and I am an international student from Indonesia in Taiwan! Thank you for your help!!!
Hey there Izzy! The best way is to use fewer words and more demonstrations and gestures, like in the video. Take it slow. Begin with the clapping rhythm first and make sure everyone is following along before adding your name. Repeat a few times before moving on to the student next to you. Good luck! Let me know how it goes:)
Thank you. This is fantastic. I start teaching G for the first time ever in a couple of days. I'm here brainstorming how to do my introduction class. This is fantastic :)
All the best for your first lesson! If you're looking for more ideas in my free ebook you can find some teaching tips and starter activities www.kidsenglishtheatre.com/free-ebook/
No worries at all! It doesn't matter how long the name is-you don’t need to clap for every syllable. Just keep the rhythm going with the knee claps for "My name is...," then slow it down for the student’s name. After that, jump back into the rhythm for "My name is..." again. Keep it easy and fun! :)
I will be teaching my first lesson soon, I don't know how to switch between activities.First we gonna form a circle and then we have a song. How can I transition to this activity after the song is over? Do you have any suggestions?

You don't need to give verbal instructions before playing. Start slow like in the example and use repetition. You'll find that studetns will pick it up quickly. :)
I'm right there with you - senior high school kids would probably rate it as something for little kids instead of fun! 😀🤞 Fingers crossed your teacher brings something more relatable and challenging next time around! 😄
English Foreign Language teacher here, first it’s important that he hears his name often, it will help him memorize the sounds, then if he has difficulty to spell his name, you could try something the Japanese use: decompose the syllables or the sounds, and use words with these similar sounds (maybe with images to show him) that he recognizes, and help him repeat after you the spellings, then at the end put them next to each other and help him do the same spelling exercice but each time you add the next sound. My last advise to you is in two words: patience and repetition (and also fun 😉) -> some kids need more time than others, and it’s okay 😌 but you need to show him it’s a regular funny game, a fun time he shares with you, because if he has fun doing it, he won’t feel like working, and that’s how it becomes easier for both of you 👍 There may be many other ways to do it, and this one might not work for you both, keep trying until you found what works for you (that’s the toughest part of the teaching job, and that forces us to always question ourselves 😅) Hope this will help you, wish you and your kid the best 🙌 Crossing fingers for you from France 🇫🇷🤞👋

Happy to give a clapping helping hand.😀 I hope your first day at camp goes super duper well. Greetings from Florence:)
Hello. I'll do this tomorrow for an English Didactics class. I think this is a good activity to start a class. Thanks for the help, Miranda.
Hey Edgar I hope your English Didactics class went well and you managed to squeeze in the Tap Clap 👏 game👋🇬🇧
"This video is truly impressive! Your presentation is so clear and easy to understand. I've learned a lot from it. Thank you for sharing! "
Thanks for your comment! Hope you find it helpful for the start of the new school year!
Brilliant! Just a quick question, how would you explain this to a 6-7 year old children the rules of the game? Teacher trainee here ✋

My students loved it, thank you!!
Fab! So happy they had fun:))
I saw teacher of my kids with this method works like magic.
Great to meet you! Happy to hear you're teaching English through drama too!!🙌🙂
Beautiful idea and so exciting and fun for little ones! Thank you
thanks for your kind comment- hope you have fun in class with your little ones:)
Thanks a lot for this great ice-breaker!!!!😍
Thanks Monica! Have a fun drama start!
Hiii, do you think this will work good with 5-6 year olds? Or they'll probably get mixed up?
I personally suggest 7+ for mixing both new language and hand /clapping coordination
Thank you. This is fantastic. I start teaching G for the first time ever in a couple of days. I'm here brainstorming how to do my introduction class. This is fantastic :)

All the names you mentioned are made of 2 syllables. How do you do it with 3, 4, 5 sullable names? 😮
No worries at all! It doesn't matter how long the name is-you don’t need to clap for every syllable. Just keep the rhythm going with the knee claps for "My name is...," then slow it down for the student’s name. After that, jump back into the rhythm for "My name is..." again. Keep it easy and fun! :)
