I think this is called Jeopardy, but I could be wrong!
It's a good game anyway!
Do a review of about 30 vocab words and then....
1. On the board fasten (magnets is the best way) the 30 picture cards. Arrange them in 3
rows of 10 each. Actually the pictures should be facing
the board, unlike here!
2. Label the 3 rows as A, B and C. Label the ten columns
from 1 to 10.
3. Row A should be easy words, row B medium level and row
C difficult words.
4. Assign the kids to one of two teams. (give the teams
interesting names like "monkey" or
"rabbit" or whatever. You could also try using
the Ski Game to count, but board
space is a bit tight!)
5. Do the Ball and Music Game
6. The kid with the ball chooses between A, B or C
questions. A is easy so is worth 10 points, B is worth 20
points and C is difficult and is worth 30 points. They
also choose a number between 1 and 10.
7. The teacher then takes the card that corresponds to
the row and column that the kid has chosen.
8. Turn the card over and if the kid can say the word in
English they get the points!
9. Continue from step 5
This is good as an end of year review. Remember not to
make the kids feel uncomfortable, help them if they get
stuck!!
Readers' Comments
This game is also great for things other than vocab review, like practicing
tenses. I wrote progressively harder present tense sentences behind each
piece of paper and the students had to change it to past tense. I also
let them pick the (inevitably K-pop) song we'd listen to for the Ball &
Music game. Worked like a charm! - Liz
