This is a very good and exciting game whenever you want to review vocabulary
or target questions. Its especially useful when you first learn a new thing.
The things you need are flashcards of your target English and several small pieces of paper (post it papers
work great).
Preparation:
1. On the small pieces of paper, write number values: for younger kids
write 1-5, for older you can use tens, hundreds, and even thousands.
2. However, on two or three pieces of paper, draw a disaster.
3. Now stick them to the back of the flashcards so the kids can't see it,
4. Put the flashcards on the board.
Playing the game
1. The kids come up a few at a time representing their teams.
2. They will point at a vocabulary card they know, say what it is, then
take the card down.
3. They then take the paper from behind the card. The point values add
up.
4. HOWEVER if they get a disaster card, all their cards get wiped out and
their points become zero!!!
This game is incredibly exciting and kids get freaked out when they think
there might be a disaster!
There's also the "Game of the Month" series on my blog which
has Disaster, Number Golf & Barbarians & Romans.
