Lesson 1: Getting to know you - setting the scene for learning
Learning Objectives:
By the end of the lesson we will:• know our fellow learners a bit better
– remember all their names• have learnt some useful strategies
for remembering• have understood the need for a set
of ground rules
We are learning this because…
it is important to get to know people we
are going to be working with and to set a
few ground rules which will help the whole
group to learn.
We will know we are successful…
if we can remember the names ofeveryone in our class and have managed to create a learning contract.
Activity 1: Picture Portrait
Produce a picture portrait of yourself – which will tell other people something about you – what you are like, your hobbies, interests etc.
Example:
Music whilst drawing
Activity 1: Picture Portrait
Now share your Picture Portrait with a partner – ask them to tell you what it means - but help them out if they get stuck!
Activity 1: Picture Portrait
Now find someone you do not know and explain your Picture Portrait to them.
Activity 2: Remember My Name GameChallenge: Learn and remember the names
of everyone in your class in 15
minutes!
Remember My Name Game – class to form concentric circles
1. Go around the circle saying “Good morning / afternoon” to everyone and introducing yourself.
2. Now think of a rhyme for your name e.g. Mark likes the dark. Shaz likes jazz.
3. Now go around the circle again and introduce yourselves using your name rhymes as memory tags.
4. Think of a movement that will remind people of your name rhyme e.g. Mark who likes dark - places his hands over his eyes. Shaz who likes jazz – dances around.
5. Now introduce yourselves again, using your name rhymes and producing your movement at the same time.
Remember My Name Ball Toss
Rules:1. Say the name and the rhyme of the person you
are going to throw the ball to before you throw it.2. The ball must spend some time in the air – you
can not just pass it to someone.3. The ball must be passed to someone different
each time – if someone receives the ball who has already had it – the whole group must start again.
4. If the ball is dropped – the whole group must start again.
Object of the game = to get the ball around the whole
group as quickly as possible.
