Pointing Game
Contents
Time
10 min
Materials
Sheet with pictures corresponding to vocabulary for the day, best for 9-16 vocabulary words
Directions
Make the students sit in pairs or groups of 3, each group needs one sheet. Have students ask a question in relation to vocabulary. For example, sports: students ask "what sport do you like/play?", the teacher or ALT answers "I like/play volleyball". Students point to the corresponding picture. The fastest student in each group gets a point.
Variation
For students who aren't so great, a nice variation is to make the fastest person keep their finger on the squares/pictures they've 'won'. They can only use one hand, it gives slower kids a chance to catch up, since it gets harder the more they get right. It ends up looking like a mini game of twister, and the kids seem to enjoy it.
