You will need a ball, but a screwed up piece of paper is fine.
The teacher throws the ball to one student and says a word, such as "dog".
The student must reply with a word starting with "G," such as "girl".
When answered, the ball is thrown back to the teacher and it is then thrown to the next
The sequence may then be (for example):
girl, look, king, go, octopus, student ... and so on.
You can have the students throwing to each other.
i.e., student A = "Cat," throw to student B = "Today," throw to student C = "Yes," etc.
Please be warned, you may have some fastball pitchers in the class!

The last member of each row (at the back of the class) is taken out of the classroom. A "key" letter, word or sentence (depending on level) is given.
The students run back inside, and whisper the "key" to the next student in their row. It is whispered down through the row until the last member writes it on the board.
The first student to write it correctly on the blackboard is the winner!

Level

This game works well with all levels. Lower level students can make up simple sentences and higher level students more complex ones.

The Game
The purpose of this game is to give students the chance to practice adjective-

Albert likes awful apes.

Betty likes baby boys.

Linda likes little limes.

Richard likes roaring racecars.

Wendy likes wiggling worms.

The game should move fast, so you should be prepared with a list of names to fire at your students.

You should go through the list ahea

It is sometimes helpful to have a large list of alphabetized adjectives xeroxed off and ready to hand out,

especially for lower level students.

Following are names for every letter of the alphabet to get you started:

Andy, Betty, Carmine, Daniel, Ed, Francis, Grover, Harry, Ingrid, John, Kris, Linda, Mark, Norman, Orville, Patty, Quentin, Rachel, Sam, Tom, Ursula, Victor, William, Xavier, Yolanda, Zelda.

This is for teaching Mr and Ms,He, She , likes, doesn't like and where do you live?...

Students interview their classmates. Students have been taught to answer " I like .........." , " I don't like ........ " and "I live in .............."

Clothing Race

Purpose: Practice the names of clothing items

Materials Needed: Two sets of clothing items, a judge for each team.

Students are divided into teams of 4 or 5 members. Two teams compete against each other at a time.

Each team lines up by a pile of clothes. When the teachers says "Go!" the first person in line, puts ?on a clothing item,

says what it is and then takes it off and hands it the next person. That person puts it on, says what it is and hands it the team member behind

While this is going on, the first person grabs another item, puts it on, says what it is and takes it off, handing it to the person behind her/him.

When the last person on the team has put on all the clothes, said what they are and put them back in a pile, that round is over.

The team who is faster, advances to the semi-finals or final round to compete against another team in the class (if the class has more than 2 teams).

The judges can be students who are on teams not currently participating or student helpers.
