My Dream Vacation

It is my first time teaching Local Studies a.k.a Kajian Tempatan. So, I was desperately searching for activities to teach about climate. Almost giving up (dramatically), finally i found this activity. I call it "My Dream Vacation". This may work as induction set. I think..=.=''

Do you have a dream vacation? Most people can imagine where they would like to go whether it is skiing on a dramatic slope or sunning on a peaceful beach. 

                  
1. To start off, give your students some practice with weather words by getting them thinking about their dream vacation. Have your class sit in a circle and ask a volunteer to start. The person who takes the first turn will also take the last turn in the game. 



2. With each turn taker, the person should first describe in about two sentences the type of weather he would like on his vacation, and then tell the rest of the class where he will go on that vacation. For example, “I like sunny skies and warm ocean water. I’m going on vacation to Hawaii.” 

3. The second person, whoever is sitting to the left of the person that just went, will describe her dream vacation weather, and then tell the class where she is going on vacation. Then she must also repeat where the first student is going on vacation. 

4. The third student then tells the class about his dream vacation weather and then where he will go. He also says where student number two will go and then where student number one will go. Continue in this manner until you make it all the way around the circle to the first student who must say, in the correct order, where each of his classmates will take his dream vacation. 

Note to self : Feel free to prompt students throughout the game if they are stumped, but do not be surprised if the students do it on their own. 

Curriculum :
