 Re: If you could only play one game ...
Hi everyone,
I'm new here and have to say this site is great.
A game I used to play in Korea with my young learners was something we called "The Flyswatter game". It can get get quite frantic but we always had a lot of fun with it.
You need a whiteboard and a couple of flyswatters. Divide the class into two teams and draw a grid on the board and then fill in the squares with whatever vocab you have been learning.
Gather the two teams at the other end of the classroom, choose who is going first from each team; they need the flyswatter.
You then call out one word and those two students charge to the board and attempt to "swat" the right square. The other team members can help out if necessary by shouting out "up", "down" etc or by spelling the word. It was very helpful for new readers.
I also varied it by giving them the word in their language and they searched for the English.
