A crazy bedroom

Tell them about an imaginary bedroom, including ridiculous details:

In my bedroom there are three beds. There is a fridge next to my bed. There are twenty pillows. There is a shower next to the wardrobe…

Students interrupt when something sounds strange: A fridge?! / You have twenty pillows?! Then they invent their own crazy bedroom in pairs. This can be very funny with 12-year-olds.

Stand up if…

You call out:

Stand up if you have a desk in your bedroom.

Stand up if you have two pillows.

Stand up if you have a TV in your bedroom.

Stand up if you have a rug.

😂 Stand up if you have clothes on the floor in your bedroom.

🧦 Stand up if you have socks under your bed.

📱 Stand up if you use your phone in bed.

🍕 Stand up if you sometimes eat in your bedroom.

😴 Stand up if you never make your bed.

🧸 Stand up if you still have a teddy bear in your bedroom.

👻 Stand up if you are scared when your bedroom is completely dark.

🎤 Stand up if you sing or dance in your bedroom when nobody is watching.

🙈 Stand up if your bedroom is very messy right now.

🛏️ Stand up if you would like to stay in bed all day.

Then ask individual students: María, where is your desk? / What colour is your rug?

👉 Very easy for weak groups and gets them moving.

Bedroom: This or That?
Give two alternatives and students physically choose one side of the classroom:

• Big bed or big wardrobe?
• Desk or TV?
• Carpet or wooden floor?
• One pillow or five pillows?
• Bedroom with a balcony or bedroom with a big window?
  Once they've chosen, they talk to someone on their side: Why? — I prefer a big bed because…
  👉 Good because they're expressing real preferences rather than just naming vocabulary.

Find someone who… – without a worksheet
Students walk around and ask classmates questions. Put the challenges orally:

• Find someone who has a TV in their bedroom.
• Find someone who has more than two pillows on their bed.
• Find someone who has a desk next to the window.
• Find someone who has posters on the walls.
• Find someone who has something under their bed. 😄
• Find someone who shares a bedroom with someone.
• Find someone who has clothes on the floor right now. 😂
• Find someone who has a teddy bear in their bedroom. 🧸
• Find someone who has a very tidy bedroom.
• Find someone who has something unusual in their bedroom.

They must remember the names rather than write them down. Afterwards: Who has a TV? — Pau has a TV.
