Successful video clips to show in class

[raskal]

Another video for pure entertainment is 'skills that pay the bills'. Just one minute. Perfect for the last minute or so.

Great American Fighter

My kids love America's Funniest Home Videos! Good 'ol PG humor!

My students seem to love Mr. Bean!

+1 For "People Are Awesome"

Don't tell them that half of it is fake. Why ruin the illusion?!

The Inspired Bicycle thing is truly inspiring. It has inspired me to do some work on prepositions tomorrow, e.g. along, over, up, down, across etc. Thanks.

That Panda video killed me.  Definitely going to show it to my students.

"What happens next" with the Old Spice guy: 






(Variation:  show one video.  Then ask students to predict where he will be at the end of the second video.  Oh, the crushing disappointment of the "hot tub" kids!)


Smashing Pumpkins:  Tonight, Tonight

This is a fun video. Not sure if they'll understand but it shows the complexity of the English language!

I have found Mr Bean videos go down a treat with the kids.  I get them to write out the story vocab and then present to the class

[Jeffboyardee777]

First watch this video yourself and make a list of verbs:
(bouncing)
(rolling)
(burning)
(flying)
(swimming)
(falling)
(crashing)
(blowing)
(spilling)
Then watch it again and make a list of nouns:
(domino)
(fish)
(bowling ball)
(arrow)
(robot)
(fan)
(milk)
(rocket)
(tire)
(anvil)

Pair the kids up and have one watch the video while the other describes it, make them switch and watch it again.  So much happens so quickly in the video there is no way they will be able to get all the things that happen, so you are bound to have a team that has more.
