Two groups of our seventh grade students visited the nearest primary school to teach the fifth graders some Swedish. The first group taught some verbs like sing, swim and jump. First our students showed the verb written on a piece of paper and said it in Swedish and the primary school students had to guess its meaning. Then everybody had to act it out. After all the verbs had been acted out, our students said the verbs in random order and the students had to act it out. They also used the game-based learning platform Kahoot to teach some animal names. The primary school students were eager to participate Only one of them acknowledged having studied Swedish before.
The second group started right after the first one. They began by asking if any of the students already knew Swedish and about five students raised their hand, which proves that the first group did successful work. The second group of our seventh graders used colourful sheets of paper with the name of each colour on it to teach the colours in Swedish. First the students had to guess the colors and repeat them. The words were put up on the blackboard and the students had a few minutes to try to memorize them. Then the words were turned over and the students had to come to the blackboard to write the names of the colours under each colour. The students were quick to learn and it seemed that everyone enjoyed themselves.
