Project - Amusement Park

The goal of this project was teaching useful vocabulary / expressions for an Amusement Park visit abroad. The project was divided into two different classes:

Class 1: Introduction / Preparation

Inside the classroom, the students were taught the new vocabulary / expressions through flashcards and worksheets.

Flashcards: Pictures taken from the internet, colored using
color pencil and laminated using Contact paper

.

Some of the activities used on the preparation class

Class 2: Visit

Now the students go to the amusement park, a classroom where they will see and take part into the different attractions/situations of the park, practicing the new vocabulary / expressions. 

.

Ticket booth: Students had to give their tickets and
get a stamp on their hands to get in the park.

.

Roller coaster: Sitting in two rows, students watched
a movie with an amusement park safety announcement
made in a text to speech website and a POV roller
coaster animation found on the internet. They followed
all the movements of the rolleroaster putting their
hands up, to the left and to the right (screaming, of
course). The soundtrack was Back to the Future Theme.

.

Haunted Mansion: Students had to put their hands in
the Monster Box (a box full of Silly Putty) and then
get in a tunnel made of easels, spunlaid nonwovens
and lots of scary props. The soundtrack was Grim
Grinning Ghosts.

.

Snack Bar and Gift Shop: Students had to ask the
prices and buy souvenirs or food.

.

Water Ride: Sitting in two rows on a piece of spunlaid
nonwoven, students had to put their hands on the
shouders of another student, go to the left, to the right,
put their hands up and scream. Once these moves
were learnt, they put on blind folds, did the same moves
and at a point of the "ride", the teacher sprayed water
on them. The soundtrack was Indiana Jones Theme.

.

As a souvenir of this activity, students
took home the Park Map, made with the
same pictures of the flashcards / activities.
