Online TPR excercises

Henny Jellema’s Online TPR (Total Physical Response) Exercises give us the chance to practise commands in English through reading and listening.

However, as he cautions, 'all the actions in the exercises below should have been physically DONE  first.  It has no sense to let a student  click-click-click with a computer mouse without experience of the physical action.  For a student the exercises should not be a surprise of something new, but a surprise of recognition!'

All in all the site is ideal for Básico 1 and Básico 2 (elementary) students who are working on commands (imperative forms), as it allows them to reinforce this structure through the skills of listening and reading while consolidating basic everyday vocabulary.

Great site.
