GAME INDEX
1. The Chain Game
• Have pupils sit in groups of six.
• Have a pupil in the group say the name of one item that they see in the picture or
poster.
• Each pupil repeats what was said previously adding one more item.
• Pupil number six will have to say the names of five items and add one more. E.g. I see
a bear, a zebra, a kangaroo, a giraffe, a gorilla, and a snake.
2. The Matching Game
• Call on 10 pupils to come to the front of the class. Hand each one a word card. Have
them each say what is written on their card. Then have them scramble themselves,
standing in random order and once more say what is written on their cards.
• Randomly hand out ten picture cards that match the word cards to pupils in the
class.
• Now have pupils with the picture cards get up and match themselves to their partners
with the word cards, and stand in a row together. Repeat with other pupils if time
allows.
3. The Disappearing Cards
• A set of word and picture cards are placed on the board in two rows with the words
below the pictures.
• Have pupils say the series of items in the order they appear as you point to each
pair.
• Take away the first picture and word card and have pupils again, repeat the entire
series, including the missing item. Continue until the entire class is able to say the
series of items although the board has nothing on it.
4. One, Two, Three - Show
• This game can be used with any picture from the book in which items have been
numbered, or in connection with any picture cards that the teacher can place on the
board and number.
• First invite one pupil to the front of the class in order to model the game. Say: 1, 2, 3,
show and have the pupil show as many fingers as he/she wants from one hand, while
you show some fingers from one hand as well. E.g. You show two fingers, the pupil
shows four fingers. Add up the total number of fingers from both of your hands. (6)
