We love playing this game in esl classes with children, it's called 'stepping stones'. I make two groups, they line up. I show them a card, whoever says the correct answer with the right pronunciation, can jump one stone ahead. The one group that crosses the river first is the winner. There's a small story to th game: they stand on the one side of the river and i on the other. They have to cross the river to get to me, but there are crocodiles in the water, so they can just hop on the stones, to cross the river to my side. You can use these cards to easily create the game pathway for the children.
