Darts!

Here’s Mido Farid’s game of the week, this time for any level, right up to high school!
SUMMARY
.
Just like the real game except that you use markers instead of darts (and you don’t throw the markers).
.
SET–UP
.
1. Draw a bulls-eye like the one above on the board.
2. Divide the class into two teams.
.
PLAY
.
1. Choose a player to go first.
2. Ask this player a question (or to make a  sentence, name a flashcard, etc.)
3. When they answer correctly give the student a marker and blindfold his/her  eyes.
4. Spin them around several times. (Ask the class to count with you.)
6. Now, direct the student toward the bulls-eye. The student walks forward and touches the board with the tip of the marker. Hopefully the student makes a mark within the bulls-eye. (If not, get his team to shout, “Oh no!”)
7. Give the student’s team the appropriate number of points. Play until everyone has had a turn and then add up the scores. The highest score wins.
.
USES
.
1. To teach or review with any vocabulary or sentence patterns.
2. Good for reviewing numbers and addition.
