    Hi guys,

    TEFL teacher here. Starting class with a new group soon, and was wondering if anyone has any good suggestions for first class activities. I'm a big believer in first impressions, so any new ideas would be great!!!!!!

    www.onestopenglish.com has a great first day activities lesson plan if that helps... I have used a few of the games from it.

    it depends on what levels you have and their ages but I always like games that involve learning their names. one person says their name, the next has to say their name and the person beside them. the next has to say their + the two previous names etc etc... you move around the class until the last person has to reacll everyone's name, then they test your memory... you go around and name the class (works best in a big-ish class, 4 students and it'll flop!:D)
    another, they have to think of an adjective that begins with the first letter or the initials of their name. or how about making out a "find someone who" worksheet and have them move around the class talking to each other...

    Hope this helps, and enjoy your first day!
