The best experience I've had this year with my students was the day me and Camila decided to give them a game. The game: using words that they've learned on the unit about The Amazon forest and Youtube (by Carlos e Marcos), we divided the class in two groups. We printed the words: in English and the meaning in Portuguese, for example (mining - mineração), and every time one person of each group should go in front of the class and pick a piece of paper. Me or Camila would read it, sometimes the word in Portuguese, other times the word in English, and the person who answered first would score a point for their team.
EVERYBODY, for the first time were participating! It was amazing! They were screaming, laughing, celebrating, enjoying and LEARNING! It was a great experience and I wish every class what that way...

Jo, for me games are the key for a good environment with students.
