In this video, you'll learn a quick and easy way to break the ice and help students become more comfortable speaking English with this fun clap name game.
If you're about to teach your first English lesson to new students who might be nervous, and you're unsure where to begin or what to do, this clap name game is a fun way to create a welcoming environment and encourage students to get to know each other, even if their English skills are limited.
In this activity, students channel their energy, coordinate their movements, and introduce themselves, promoting teamwork and building rapport among them.
Begin slowly and see how fast students catch on to the beat and have fun introducing themselves! They'll learn each other's names super-fast, and it's a unique way to step away from the usual "What's your name? My name is..." routine.
Give it a try and let me know how it turns out!
Wishing you the best of luck on your first day back at school!

you are a life-saver! today is my first day teaching in Taiwanese cramp school, and I am an international student from Indonesia in Taiwan! Thank you for your help!!!
Happy to give a clapping helping hand.😀 I hope your first day at camp goes super duper well. Greetings from Florence:)
That's cool! Thank you!
Hope your kiddos enjoy it:) Let me know how if goes😀
My students loved it, thank you!!
Fab! So happy they had fun:))
Hello. I'll do this tomorrow for an English Didactics class. I think this is a good activity to start a class. Thanks for the help, Miranda.
Hey Edgar I hope your English Didactics class went well and you managed to squeeze in the Tap Clap 👏 game👋🇬🇧
Beautiful idea and so exciting and fun for little ones! Thank you
thanks for your kind comment- hope you have fun in class with your little ones:)
Brilliant! Just a quick question, how would you explain this to a 6-7 year old children the rules of the game? Teacher trainee here ✋
Hey there Izzy! The best way is to use fewer words and more demonstrations and gestures, like in the video. Take it slow. Begin with the clapping rhythm first and make sure everyone is following along before adding your name. Repeat a few times before moving on to the student next to you. Good luck! Let me know how it goes:)
Hiii, do you think this will work good with 5-6 year olds? Or they'll probably get mixed up?
I personally suggest 7+ for mixing both new language and hand /clapping coordination
MY TEACHER MADE US DO THIS AND WE ARE SENIORS IN HIGH SCHOOL I HATED IT
I'm right there with you - senior high school kids would probably rate it as something for little kids instead of fun! 😀🤞 Fingers crossed your teacher brings something more relatable and challenging next time around! 😄
@@KidsEnglishTheatre yeah I would have really loved the activity if I were 8. And yeah hopefully
😂
Hiii, i have teach my six yours boy how to pronounce his name but he can't, can i get any help 🙏🙏
English Foreign Language teacher here, first it’s important that he hears his name often, it will help him memorize the sounds, then if he has difficulty to spell his name, you could try something the Japanese use: decompose the syllables or the sounds, and use words with these similar sounds (maybe with images to show him) that he recognizes, and help him repeat after you the spellings, then at the end put them next to each other and help him do the same spelling exercice but each time you add the next sound. My last advise to you is in two words: patience and repetition (and also fun 😉) -> some kids need more time than others, and it’s okay 😌 but you need to show him it’s a regular funny game, a fun time he shares with you, because if he has fun doing it, he won’t feel like working, and that’s how it becomes easier for both of you 👍
There may be many other ways to do it, and this one might not work for you both, keep trying until you found what works for you (that’s the toughest part of the teaching job, and that forces us to always question ourselves 😅)
Hope this will help you, wish you and your kid the best 🙌
Crossing fingers for you from France 🇫🇷🤞👋
