Just a quick post to share a link I love for starter activities. The ifaketext.com website allows you to create fake iPhone text messages. As you can enter in the name of students, using one of these at the start of a lesson can really grab everyone’s attention. I have attached an example – a dull translation task really, but because I have used the name of one of the students in the group, they all read intently to find out what the message is saying, esp. the student whose name I have used.

Thanks so much for sharing this!!! This will be a really useful starter! I’ve already created 5 for various classes! 🙂
Hi Neil Can you tell me if you need to download something to use this or can you use direct from the website. Think I am being thick! Thanks Elaina
I just used the “copy page” button and then pasted it into the PowerPoint. Needs cropping but that was the easiest way.
