At my school we have two types of classes. Sports science and normal classes. Sports science is kind of a lower level class and most students don't have an interest in English. Today I had to combine both of my classes because next week I'l...l be visiting America. Normally we split the two classes into three smaller groups so we can control the behavior in the class easily. If you aren't familiar with the Japanese word genki, it means energy and used as an adjective mean energetic. 80 kids were over energetic.
In the class I did a Christmas lesson. With in the lesson we sang, "12 Days of Christmas." Beyond my expectations a majority of the students were singing the song and top of all of that they were doing it with a smile. As an example, I played Relient K's cover of the song.
Next, I did the whole "What do you want for Christmas?" activity. My favorite answer was six girlfriends. I told the student he better be careful for what he wishes for. It was good laugh, but I had to do a lot of screaming. Now I'm tired and I still have two more classes to go.

I've never envied grade school teachers, but I'm glad this worked out for you!
