Games


My student love playing game... and frankly so do I! Here is a list of games that we play. (Students get a turn after then say the vocab. or sentence pattern or conversation or the day.)
1. Basketball (Shoot Out: each students shoots until one student makes a basket.)
2. Steal the Bacon (with flashcards)
3. Paper, Scissor, Stone (Give ea. Student a flashcard/sentence pattern; they ask and answer a question with a partner then play Paper, Scissor, Stone. Winner gets the paper or flashcard, the student gets a new card from the teacher. Play for a limited amount of time to see who can get the most.)
4. Sit on it. (Two students go outside. One student gets a flashcard and sits on it/hides. The two students come back in and ask a yes or no question (ex. May I borrow a pencil? Do you have a dog?) The student with flashcard says "Yes, I ...." All other students say, "No, I .....")
5. 21 (Show the student the first card. Ask, "Stop or one more." Student try to get as close to 21 as possible without going over. 22 or more equal zero.)
6. Dice Game (using colored tape or cones mark off 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 every 3 feet or so. Closer to you is 100 and so on. Students roll the dice and try to get it to stop in 500. If they hit the wall they get zero.
7. My secret word Students have a paper that is folded in half. They write their secret word/answer inside. (Give them ten choices to choose from. Student try to figure out what their friends secret is. (Ex. Will you play basketball this weekend? Do you like turtles.)
8. Pictionary Draw a picture and have the students guess what it is. (Ex. Do you go to the dentist on Mon.? )
9. Bowling (bought at the stationary store on Zhong Hua Rd. It is a small bowling set where you squeeze a large plastic bowling pin and the top pops off and hits the small bowling pens (markers).
10. Sticky Ball games (bullseye, Pin Wheel (draw a large circle on the board and divide it into 6 sections; draw vocab. being practiced. Take turns throwing the sticky ball. Ea. team must hit all the items in the pin wheel to win. Hit the same item twice and it gets erased.)

Hey,
I am also a foreign teach in Taiwan. I've taught in Hualien and Kinmen
I just came to your site and found a lot of useful stuff for my teaching! Thanks! I especially like the Voki idea!
