I remember myself getting in the classroom with the thought that time wouldn't be long enough to cover the activities and assignments I had for my students. That made me go straight to the lesson without making my students relax and feel comfortable during the class. I reflected stress to my students. They somehow noticed that so I sometimes lost the managment inside the classroom. Ice breakers and games are a good way to catch students attention and make them work and gave fun at the same time. I learned that games as a teaching technique require a goal to be achieved. That it is not only playing a game and that's it. Games happen to be a very interesting technique I want to apply as a teacher back there in Panama. I used to play games with my students, but I didn't know how important they can be in their learning process.
