Drop the Marker Presented by Loh Yoke Ling

A classroom classic, this game can also be called “Drop the

Chalk.” Use it to practice vocabulary or grammar where

spelling accuracy is important. One representative from

each team stands at the board. The teacher asks a question

and the competing players write the answer on the board.

Spelling counts, and the answer is not valid until the player puts down the marker or

chalk. The first player with a correct answer wins a point, and calls the next

teammate to the board.

Level: Beginner to advanced, depending on the difficulty of the questions

Who can play: at least two players plus the teacher; works best with six or more

Skills: Writing, vocabulary and grammar

Mary’s Shopping List

I want to buy some onions, tomatoes and potatoes. But I think I

will not have enough money to buy them all. So, I will not buy

tomatoes then. I also want to get some snacks and a bar of

chocolate. But my mom wants me to buy cooking chocolate to

bake cake. Which one should I buy at the supermarket? I think I

will buy both. Aha…Mom reminds me to buy her some eggs. Mom

also wants me to buy her cooking oil, fish, and chicken. Mom

wants to make chicken curry for dinner. But I do not like

chicken, so I would buy meat instead of chicken. To make curry,

mom also need salt. So I’ll buy it for her. Do we need to put

ketchup in curry? I do not think so. So I better leave that out. I

also want to buy a bottle of coffee powder. Therefore I need sugar

in order to drink coffee at night. But, my father told me that it is

not good to drink coffee since it contains caffeine. Thus, I better

not buy coffee powder. I’ll buy tea then. In that case, I still need

to buy sugar then. Next week, I’ll go for my camping. I already

have a loaf of bread, so I think I better grab a tin of sardine to

make sandwiches. Hmm…yummy!

20 Questions Presented by Lisa MacLeod

Level of the Game:

This game can be modified for the level of your students by using vocabulary and

language at the appropriate level. For those focusing on question structure, level 4

and 5 would be best.


This game can be used to review language, preview for the upcoming lesson or

simply to have fun. If forming questions is going to be the focus of the game, it is

necessary to stress this with the class at the beginning of the game.

Materials Needed:

Nothing

Procedure:

1. This is a whole class activity.

2. The students have to guess of what thing the person who is it is thinking by

asking him or her at most 20 yes/no type questions.

3. If no one guesses the answer after 20 tries, the answer is revealed.The

students pick a missing letter and the teacher fills in the blanks.

4. If a student has a "yes" answer, this earns the questioner another chance to

ask, a "no" passes the asking on to the next player.

Alternative for lower Levels:

Maybe your students are advanced enough to ask appropriate questions on their

own, in my case to facilitate my weak ones I hand out a print I made with examples

of questions. The first question on my print is, "Are you animal?/vegetable?/mineral?

Then below that I have written outline style three catagories of questions: animal,

vegetable and mineral. Under the animal heading my first question is, "Are you

human?" Then I have written questions like, "Are you famous?" "Are you in this

school?" "Are you a man/woman?" "Are you Japanese?", etc. In case the animal is

not human I have, "Can I eat you?" "Can I ride you?" "Are you bigger than a _____?"

etc. Under the vegetable heading I wrote questions like "Can I eat you?" "Are you

delicious?" "Are you in Japan?" etc. And finally under the mineral heading I wrote,

"Are you metal/plastic/stone/wood?" "Are you (blue)?" "Do I have you?" "Are you in

the classroom?" "Can I see you?" etc. By using the print my students get a feel for

asking questions in English and I have found many no longer need to refer to the

paper.

person is. Do this with all the students.

5. Now have the students mingle and look at each other names. The

students then ask questions about themselves. (i.e. Am I alive or dead?

Am I from this country? Am I a boy or girl?) The students are NOT allowed

to ask their name. They have to guess who they are.

6. Students keep asking questions and guessing. You can tailor it to suit your

class with rules. (you must ask three questions before guessing) You can

also do it in pairs or groups.

Finish the Sentence Presented by Lisa MacLeod

Level of the Game:

Good beginner/Intermediate


A simple activity which at first sight looks like a grammar-type exercise. However, the

students must complete each unfinished phrase truthfully. The example given, for

instance, can have many different endings, according to each person's situation.

Materials Needed:

White paper – A4, preferably lined.

Procedure:

1. Start this activity in silence, with each student writing down his or her own

completion. This guarantees that people will not be stuck for words, which

usually happens if you present somebody with a half-finished sentence

and ask for an immediate verbal reaction.

2. Give students time to think, they will produce better sentences.

3. The bonus here is that if, for example, you have a group of seven, each

student will probably come up with a different finish. This will definitely

trigger interest on the part of the other students, and reduce tension.

4. Moreover, it is the student who gets to create something.

5. The teacher merely oversees, and hence does not dominate the class.

Example:

My car ...

My car broke down two months ago while I was coming home

from work.

My car cost a lot but I don't like it anymore.

~ 104 ~

Now you try it.

7. My best friend ...

8. Last night ...

9. I have never ...

10. The third world ...

11. Politicians ...

12. Parents ...

13. I once dreamt that ...

14. I get really angry when ...

15. Some people ...

16. Going on holiday ...

17. Having my hair cut ...

18. Making my bed ...

19. A millionaire ...

20. When it rains, I ...

21. Vegetarians ...

If any of the sentences should provoke debate, let it develop.

Introduction

Snap is a very simple children's game for two or more players played in Britain, North America and perhaps other countries. The skills required being accurate observation and quick reactions.

Setting Up the Game

2 to 4 players sit in a circle facing each other. The dealer shuffles the cards and

deals them face down to each player until all cards have been dealt. Each player

places their cards in a neat face down stack without looking at them.

Playing the Game

1. The player to the left of the dealer goes first.

2. The player takes the top card from their stack and places it face up next to the rest of their cards.

3. The player to their left goes next and the game continues. Be on the lookout for a card the same rank as another face up card.

4. When you see two cards that match be the first player to yell out "Snap!". The first player to yell out takes the piles of the matching face up cards and adds them face down to the bottom of their stack. Play continues with the player to the left of the player who turned up the matching card.

5. If any players get excited and shout out at the wrong time they must give each player one of the cards from their face down stack.
