They have to match the Christmas vocabulary words to the pictures in the colouring. Down below I also included some sentences that they have to choose yes/no to, tailored to simplest Present Simple topics (have/has and there is – there are) and prepositions of place (like in front of, behind and between).

WHO - WHAT - WHERE - ???



This is a great game for kids but it takes some explanation and some preparation.



Everything you need for this game is included in this Word document. 



There are reverse sides for all 24 cards.

The check lists for the teams are on page 7.

The rules to the game are on page 8.



(Email me if you want the rules in Thai.)



Who is eating the food? What food are they eating? Where are they eating the food?



There are eight people... (Blue cards)

There are eight foods... (Green cards)

There are eight rooms in the house... (Red cards)



Try to find out who is eating what and where!

(Only the teacher knows the answer)



"Is Jane eating a slice of pizza in the bedroom?"



If the team has any of the three cards in your question they must show you only ONE of the cards.

When you see the card you can cross it off the list because you know that the teacher does not have that card.

When you think you know the three cards that the teacher has you can ask him a question...

The question can be like this...



"Teacher... I think that Susan is eating popcorn in the kitchen."



If you are right you win the game.

If you are wrong you lose and you cannot ask the teacher again.

(BE CAREFUL: You can only ask the teacher ONE TIME!)

CLUE (Cluedo) for KIDS!

This is a game called "New Identities" where kids have a new identity card in which they are also asked to look for someone else. It´s good fun and they practise the use of the verb "to be" in the question "Are you..?", and the short answers: "Yes, I am /No, I´m not". Good fun for them!

The map of the hotel is the guideline for the directions that the students have to take in order to reach their final destination, a specific location in the hotel itself. There are 8 cards, cut these cards and ask the students to find the destination for each list of directions in each card. The scheme of answer is also provided. I used this to teach preposition of directions to my kids, I think I had underlined each prepositions in the directions.
