197. Teaching new words from the blackboard


The teacher trainer/coach told me,
"One other game you can implement in your classes is about a specific semantic field.
You can name it as Christian-doctrine vocabulary.
You are going to understand the game.
First premise: it's common that the students don't know any word of this semantic field.
Even they don't know the word 'God'.
This vocabulary field can be taught in your classroom, here in Spain, a country with a deep Christian root, centuries long.
You, in one way or another, elicit this kind of vocabulary.
Also you'll have to teach them many of these words.
So, you write these words on the blackboard, or the digital one, or whatever.
So far, also, you have explained the meaning of those words.
The game proper is that you say the meaning of one of the words, and the first kid that says the exact word wins.
What vocabulary?
Think of church, monstrance, hope, charity, faith, fortitude, the Holy Mass, Jeseus Christ, bible, gospel, prayer, sacraments names, joy, the Hail Mary prayer...
We used to begin my classes saying a Hail Mary:
I said the first part, and they replied with the second part of this beautiful prayer to our Mom.
They had a copy paper with the prayer."
I was thinking whether these people on the picture are known singers, Spanish singers of the sixties. Dunno. Picture form europapress es
