Action games - i see

Grades: K and up

English level: Beginner

Objectives: To reinforce classroom vocabulary; to increase listening skills

Materials needed: None

Presentation: Move the furniture to the side of the room if feasible, or at least ensure that chairs are under desks and aisles are clear. Divide students into teams. Each team lines up behind their team leader. Decide whether a run or a feat walk is appropriate for your group.

When you say, "I see a (table, map, clock, or any classroom object)," the first student inline on each team goes to that object. The first one to reach it scores a point for that team. Each player goes to the end of her teamb line.

Students may help teammates by pointing or naming objects but not by translations into native language.

You can add balancing skill as an ingredient of the fun by requiring that the student whose turn it is must balance a chalkboard eraser on his head as he goes to the object. If the eraser fells off, the student must replace it before continuing. You can vary the clues according to the language ability of the class.

Examples:

I see something(red).

I see something (new, old, beautiful expensive, dangerous, useful, dirty, long, tall, hard, soft, electric, small, big, funny, etc.).

I see something that you can sit on.

I see something that has two hands and numbers and tells us the time.

I see something you can write with. I see something we made yesterday. I see something that belongs to.
