Using the TPR method in the classroom can be beneficial to both the student and the teacher;
one of its advantages is that children enjoy these activities.
For example we can find some of the most used methods such as:
Simon Says: it’s a classic among TPR activities, one that is more commonly used to teach the
parts of the body. But why not go beyond the simple, ‘’Simon says touch your nose’’ and try
more complex commands? Say you are teaching your students how to give directions. Clear up
a space in the classroom, one your students can easily maneuver around.
Another of the most common activities that can be found is:
Songs, Young ESL learners love to sing songs, but if you add movement or miming, they’ll
enjoy them so much more. It is, in fact, difficult for most children to sing songs while sitting
absolutely still. Singing and moving come naturally to them. So why not take advantage of this
and incorporate lots of song with movement?.
