Have you ever seen a cat wearing a hat?

Have you ever seen a bear combing his hair?

Have you ever seen a frog walking a dog?

WhatsApp in your classroom

Here are 25 ideas of how to make good use of WhatsApp for language learning. WhatsApp was the starting point for these ideas, but teachers will see that other applications and messaging services will work just as well. For these activities I make use of the following five features: text, photo, video, audio and emoji.

Storytelling

• ask students to do actions throughout the story. For example, if it is raining in the story, they can pat their legs to show the rain. If someone is crying in the story, the students can rub their eyes. If someone is brushing their hair, etc. This total physical response story telling will help students to understand and remember the words in the story.
• are there lines in the story that are often repeated? If so, get your students to say the lines each time they come up.
• are there animals in the story? If so, ask your students to do the animal noises.
• ask questions. Ask how the students would feel in the character’s shoes, ask what the weather is like, ask them to describe the animals, ask them what happens next.
