Cuisenaire Rods for Teaching Vocabulary- a great classroom idea!

Maybe you remember Cuisenaire rods from primary school maths? Those little coloured sticks? They're great for langauge teaching, too! Want to know how? Stick around..

Thanks Jo, great idea!

I liked the idea. However, I don’t think that it is doable in a 30-student class, do you? Honestly, what blocks teachers' creativity is large numbers.

I agree that it’s much more difficult to do anything like this in a larger class and I’m guessing that the abilities in your class are also mixed, so even harder. Could you have work- stations where you did something like this with half the class at a time and the others worked independently? There’s no magic wand though…

Once again, your videos appear right when I need them! I give private tuitions and I have a new student who's got dyslexia: I guess she will respond very well to this kind of activities.

That’s great! Let me know how it goes!

Can you recommend any other scenarios or books that suggest ideas for using Cuisenaire rods?

[@elttraining]

I’ve got a few more planned…
