New Game: Bash it Simon Times!

You know those mole bashing games we used to see as kids?

Well, why not make it into a game!

1. ย For the first round put 4 of today’s flashcards ( or minicards) on the floor.

2. ย Give both players a plastic toy hammer.

3. ย The teacher says the 4 flashcards ( in full sentences of course) in a random order.

4. ย The kids then, at the same time, have to race to say out the four items as they hit them with their hammer!

5. ย The fastest kid wins a point.

6. ย Sounds too easy? ย Well next you add in another flash card.

7. ย Then another.

8. ย Now you’ll see how fun it becomes as you try to remember and say all 8 in teacher’s order! ๐Ÿ™‚

Ninja Tip: ย If you have enough hammers, e.g. from the $1 store, ย then put the kids in threes. ย Two have the hammers, one is the referee.

Do give it a go and let us know what you think in the comments!

P.S. ย As you might have guessed this was another great game I learnt from the amazing ACET teachers!

P.P.S. ย Depending on what you’re reading this you might just have time to catch the new online “10 Times Your Teaching Income” Coaching Program!

Hello, I'm Richard Graham. When I was a kid I found school to be sooooo boring... So I transformed my way of teaching. I listened to what the kids were really wanting to say and taught it in ways they really wanted to learn. The results were magical. Now I help teachers just like you teach amazing lessons and double your incomes!

    Great Game!
    Tried it with the Can you speak … lesson. Instead of using hammers we used fly swatters. Lots of speaking practice and fun!
