Default If you could only play one game ...

If you could only play one game in your English classes from here on out, what would it be? and why should the rest of us choose that game?

I play an inexcusable amount of Bingo. So, I'm going to have to go with Bingo.

Bingo is a great game for practicing questions/answers as well as negatives. Children want to draw the cards themselves, so I make Bingo a guessing game. As an example, for occupations:

One students takes a card and asks the other students 'What's he?' The other students guess 'Is he a mailman?' 'Yes. He's a mailman. / No. He's not a mailman.'

This will work across the board for almost any vocab set varying the question/answer. ex. Verbs - Do you want to read books? No, I dont wanna./ Ya, that sounds like fun.
