Our Snake Race game is our own original game similar to Snakes and Ladders. All you need are dice and something to act as game pieces. Roll a die, move along the snake while counting aloud, and say whatever you land on. If you’land on a “Roll again” spot, you can go again. But if you’re not so lucky, you might have to go back a few spaces. More advanced students can ask and answer questions related to Halloween such as, “Do you like spiders?”.

Halloween 1 & 2 Snake Race Game

I have lost my book, so I made up a new worksheet. This is a jazz chant in the third person singular. I have added some pictures to illustrate the different types of transportation. This works very well with children. I have even used it with adults. Good for pronunciation. First, you read the chant with the students and then I split the group in two. One will read the part on the left and the other half will read the part on the right. Then we switch. If the group is weak I say the chant with both groups. This not only good for pronunciation but also for rhythm.  If someone knows this Jazz Chant, let me know if I have got it wrong. I might have mixed up the order.
