OUTBURST: This is a team game. It requires that you make category cards as follows:
CARDS: Take a 3X5 card and punch out five holes down each side(one on every other line works well). Write a category at the top of the card. Next to each hole write a common item in language that is in the category. To check off the answers place the card over a blank piece of paper. For each new team or card, just shift the paper underneath to a clean spot so no checks show through the holes. One piece of underpaper may last the whole game. MAKE CARDS FOR AT LEAST A DOZEN CATEGORIES . You may want to have one set for level one and another for level two etc.
TO PLAY:
1) I usually divide the class by different ways each time we play. Once boys/girls, next by where they sit, then by birthday months(in language have them line up by birthmonths, they have to ask each other in language. When ready divide the line in half)
2)Each Team takes a turn. I call out the category and they can shout out answers for 30 seconds. (It helps to have a timer person or an egg timer!).
3)Each team gets one point for each answer on my card. A correct answer will NOT give a point unless it is on my card!
It does get a BIT NOISY!
