"[60 Kinesthetic Grammar Activities contains] a wide range of practicable activities that, in the words of the authors, 'connect language in our head to our arms and legs, eyes and ears." - Scott Thornbury, Author of How to Teach Grammar and Grammar Uncovered from the ForewordLanguage is more than words. But too often, we teach grammar as a set of boring rules, best practiced by filling out worksheets. 60 Kinesthetic Grammar Activities by Alice Savage bursts this myth with a collection of activities that get students out of their seats and learning in a dynamic and active classroom. The benefits of kinetic language learning activities are many: teach gesture and nonverbal communication
activate our embodied mind
make grammar memorable
change the dynamics of the classroom
build community
and raise students' moods.
