Elementary School Students. 
Elementary students still have a ton of energy, but 
tend to be more focused than kindergartens. These students are now at school in

44 
structured classrooms with lessons, as opposed to the kindergarteners whose day is 
made up of playing indoors and outdoors. The elementary students are at a stage 
where they are slowly beginning to think for themselves and many of them think 
they already know it all. At this age 
role-playing
is effective, as the students like 
to see themselves as tiny adults. 
Playing games
where they role-play adult 
occupations is fun and an easy way to include the target language. The lessons can 
now also include 
a competitive aspect
as this age group does not shy away from 
competing with each other. 
When planning a lesson for an elementary class, it is all about the balance 
between energy, brain work and friendly competition. Have a few 
high energy 
activities
in the lesson but split the room into teams to add a competitive spirit. To 
balance the high energy parts have some 
puzzle and quiz activities
where 
individuals can shine and show their skill. A great way to get students to produce 
the language to each other is to set up role-play situations or make-believe. For 
example, if you are teaching them shopping vocabulary, set up a small shop in the 
classroom. You can have each student play the role of cashier, shopper and shop 
assistant. This is great as not only are they having fun assuming the adult role, they 
are also seeing how English works in the real world. Although this age group may 
seem like they know it all and like to take on adult roles, never forget they are still 
children so keep all the activities light-hearted and fun. Even though lessons can be 
more competitive than in kindergarten, keep in mind that the goal is for the 
students to enjoy their class and have fun while learning English. 
Juniors. 
Do not let the junior age group make you think it is easier to teach older 
students. It is not. Teaching this age group has its own challenges. Being a teenager 
is not an easy task, and with so much changes going on in their lives and their 
bodies, their confidence is up and down. You will find that your juniors have 
begun to care about other people’s opinions and how others see them, so make sure 
activities are
