A nice easy game to round out the week courtesy of Leen in Tokyo:
1. Divide the class into two groups.
2. One kid from each kid comes to the front.
3. ย The teacher shows a number (1-60 or any range)ย ย to the class without showing it to the 2 at the front.
4. ย The teacher says “Go!”
5. ย At the same time, the 2 kids ย at the front shout out a random number.
6. Their group mates shout out either higher or lower.
7. ย The two at the front keep guessing till they get the right answer!
8. ย Play again with two new kids!
This is really fun! It can be used to any level. You can adjust the range of numbers depending on the level of your students.
Thank you very much Leen!
What do you all think? Do let us knowย in the comments!
Be genki,
Richard
P.S. ย Ninja Tip: Remember the 3 Step Ninja Plan for making numbers really easy:
1. ย Numbers 1 to 12 first (so you can teach the time)
2. ย In the next numbers lesson doย 13 to 31ย (for birthday dates)
3. ย Finally the next lesson will be 32 to 60 (for time part 2!) ย – Easy! ๐
P. P.S. ย Another great, simple numbers game is theย Number Golf.ย
Like it! Easy to adjust to individual class level!
Great simple game.
I’ve been using something similar for a while now, having the kids to guess my age as well as the birthday.
It’s great to put numbers into conversation.
I have tried the game to my class for the secondary level with the material of degree of comparison of adjectives, and it works, all my students are highly motivated and enthusiastic in all the classroom activities, thanks a million for all Mr. Richard
