Child's Play
Two Lines
|
This is a good game to use after drilling flashcards. Have the students form two lines facing the teacher. The first students in each line are the players. Show a flashcard and the first student to correctly name it is the winner. These two students then go to the back of their respective lines and you repeat the process with the next two students. It's a simple game but a lot of fun. If both students say the name of the card together they continue their turn until their is a winner or they have had three turns. Then it's the next person's go. This three turn limit saves the other students from getting bored while waiting for their turn. I like to have lines of unequal number so that on progressive rounds the students are playing with different people. This way you don't have to worry about pairing slower students with quicker ones. You can play this game as either competitive or non-competitive. For competitive games the winner scores a point on the board for their line. To play non-competitively, simply acknowledge the winner. |
