A -AN gAME

a ppt presentation to fix the names of the pets and practise the spelling.

Pets - spelling game

This game is similar to The Allen Show's 5 seconds. 

A teacher reads the questions and students individually should name five things of the asked category under 10 seconds only. 

"Name 5" Game

I use this activity to revise the topic Housing. It can be also used as a warmer (choose only several pictures) at the beginning of the lesson or if you want all students to speak at once (they work in pairs - one of them looking at the picture, the other one at the opposite direction). Sometimes it can be quite challenging, but my students really enjoy this game.

Housing - Taboo Game

Online boardgame. 



To play the game you need to leave the full-screen slide show! (use the last slide as if you want to change smth - this is the way how you can move the counters)



Students must come up with ideas to overcome the problems.



Step 1. Imagine you and your students were going on holiday but something went wrong and now you are on an isolated island. The island is not friendly and you will have to survive there. 



Step 2. Your students choose 7 objects that can be useful in the future. They have to discuss why they want to take this or that thing and persuade everyone. 



Step 3. You fill in the yellow/blue gaps with the objects you have chosen and move step by step on a boardgame. 



Step 4. Move the counters step by step/using a video of a dice. Students have to give possible solutions and discuss them.



NOTE! Students can use not only the given object but also "natural things" that can be around (trees, leaves, coconuts and etc.) 



Additionally, you can play in two teams, then the other team must agree with the opponents' solution, only after that they can make a move. 



I created this game to practice the infinitive of purpose.



Have fun!



"Lost" the Game

Furniture. Guessing game

Feelings are the basic model of relationships between people. Many children do not know how to properly Express their emotions and vent them out with violence. With this game, we will teach students to Express their feelings. We will repeat the verb to be, remember how to ask questions, how to build negative sentences and affirmative ones. I wish you a great mood, colleagues.

FEELINGS Dice game

team based ppt game (must be played in full screen), can be modified for different levels (beginner, intermediate, etc) different topics, and different skills (listening, reading)

weather ppt game

Mystery-Box is a game where you pick a number/letter and answer a simple question. You are then given a box, students must decide if they want to keep it or give it the other team. Box will contain random points (plus and minus)
PowerPoint was made by others, material was made by me.

Mystery-Box game

My students absolutely love this game - you can play it with whatever words come to mind. It's a great warm-up or a filler... So how to play (you surely know it, but...)



1. Students are divided into teams (the best is when there are 3 or 4 people in one group but it's also bad to have more than 5 teams.. you won't be able to control them - but you may also put some students to control the others). 

2. One person from the team turns his back to the black/white board.

3. You can write the words with a chalk/marker or project them on the board.

4. FOR THIS GAME Students who can see the board say the infinitive, the one who can't see the board say the past tense. 

FOR ANOTHER GAMES, with different words - more advanced students describe the word in English, lower levels say the word in their native tongue and the one who cannot see the board say the English version.



They don't have to say the whole sentences, it's just to help them understand what verb it should be.



The solution is in the last slide so that you don't have to think hard what the pictures mean :-)



5. Who says (actually... shout. lot of shouting. be prepared for that) the correct word receives one point for his/her group.

Enjoy!
