In one of my classes we were studying present tense verbs by describing animal sounds. We’d name an animal and describe the sound it made. The class mostly consisted of me saying an animal and having a bunch of animal sounds being shouted back in response. This is in an upper level class too. It was extremely silly. The best thing about the animals they book chose was that the verbs they chose sometimes sounded nothing like the animal themselves.
The book said, for example, "An elephant trumpets with it’s nose."
All the students put their hands to their faces, made a trunk, and said, "TRUMPET!" which makes no sense, but was extremely entertaining to watch. I do the best sheep bleating sound in the school, hands down.
However, the funniest thing would have been to watch the camera that was recording the classroom. You could have seen me doing my "Chicken Dance" from Arrested Development. The students had no idea what was going on, of course, but when am I ever going to get a chance like that again?
