This is a nice dynamic that helps people introducing to each other as
well as it helps socialization through physical contact. To start, everybody
has to be standing up in a circle. Then, in turns, each person will be saying
his or her name plus a part of their bodies that itches (e.g. hello, my name is
Diego and my ear itches). After one round, each one will say the name of the
person next to them, the part of the body that itches and scratch it (e.g. his
name is Diego and his ear itches [while scratching it]). It might seem a bit
dumb, but I found out (being one of the participants) that it really helps to
break the barrier we all have towards people that we do not know, opening the
gates to other kind of dynamics, activities or games that imply physical
contact (besides being a good way to learn each other names).
The purpose of this blog is to host a compilation of different texts and activities which can be used for an EFL class, as well as general resources. During the following weeks I'll post regularly different resources learnt at uni as well as other things I’ve seen as a student or within less formal environments, and hopefully I’ll do it both in Spanish and in English. In addition there will be useful links to other blogs and compilations.
