I am going to teach "the fairground" on tuesday and it is my only second experience in teaching. I am a student teacher. do you have any idea about how to teach "merry go round, ferris wheel, roller coaster etc....".

i'd suggest using flashcards of those things. or if you are a good drawer, elicit them on the whiteboard by drawing them and having the students guess what they are.

thanks for your advice. drawing and having the students guess is a good idea ) I prepared some flashcards and I will use shrek as the main charachter who wants to go to the fairground.
I hope my prof will enjoy it.

There's a park project here with some completed amusement parks and parks from kids around the world.

You can also find some fair and carnival flashcards on the page.

Do a powerpoint showing the rides and things to introduce them then (if the students are young enough or old enough - teenageers won't find this cool!) make them pretend they are on them! Works a treat and everyone laughs! Finally take them to a fairground!
