Classrooms:
20-Words
Beginning with a Given Letter
Level:
Medium to Difficult
The teacher
chooses a letter from the alphabet. Then each student must
say a word that begins with that letter. If a student
repeats a word that has already been said, then he/she is
out of the game. The game ends when only one student
remains. That student is the winner. In high level classes
students lose if they say a past form of the verb.
Example:see-saw. You can increase the difficulty by adding a
timer. Only allow each student 5 seconds to think of a word.
21-Counting
Liar Game
Level: Any
Level
This game
is similar to the Alphabet Liar game except it deals with
numbers and adding the "S" sound at the end of plural nouns
, all you need is a deck of cards.
Divide the
students into groups of 4 to 6. Deal all the cards from the
deck to the students. The player who has the 2 of Spades
begins. This player puts down his 2 of spades and any other
2 he has in his hand FACE DOWN in a pile and procedes to say
"one 2" or "two 2'ssss" then next player procedes to put
down his 3, then 4, then 5 etc...
Let's say
the player doesn't have the card he is supposed to put down,
for example a 3, the player must try to "lie" or fool the
other players into thinking he has the card so he can
play... if other students have any doubt they shout "liar"
if the player was lying he then pick up the pile at the
center of the table. If the player who is accused of lying
was telling the truth it is the player who accused him who
must pick up the pile in the center.
All players
MUST put down a card when it is their turn, even if they do
not have the required card. The game is over when one of the
players has no more cards.
I use this
game to help practice the "s" sound at the end of plural
nouns cause most students have a tendancy to say "there are
2 dog" rather than "there are 2 dogssssss" this game really
helps the message get through. ***For better explanations
see the alphabet liar game.***
22-Act Out
an Activity
Level: Easy
to Medium
This is a
game-like activity to teach continous tense.
One student
simply acts out some activity (e.g.cooking) and the other
students guess what that student is doing. The student who
guesses correctly acts out another acitvity...
