your right/left/, look up/down, stand up, sit down, clap your hands, touch
your head, touch your nose…
• The judge watches. If any pupils make mistakes the judge asks them to sit down and
they are out of the game.
• Next, Group B “commander” gives the commands to pupils in Group A. Repeat until
only one pupil is left standing in each group.
14. Chain Writing Game
• Divide the class into groups of six. Give each group a page with a sentence about how
the adventure of this unit began. (E.g. Henry and Lucy are in China on New Year's
Day.)
• Ask pupils to pass this sheet around, having each pupil in turn write one sentence about
the adventure. Stronger pupils can help group members in writing their sentences as
needed. Each pupil folds the page to cover the sentence he wrote and the next pupil
writes a sentence.
• When all pupils have written a sentence, the page is unfolded and read. The
results should be a summary of Henry and Lucy's adventure in sequence. Call on a
representative from each group to read their story to the whole class. Have the class
vote for the best-told story.
15. Throw the Ball
• Have pupils sit in a circle on the floor.
• Throw a soft ball to a pupil and say: Hello, my name is ____. What's your name?
(Or any other sentence or question the class would need to practice.)
• The pupil responds: Hello, my name is _____.
• The pupil then throws the ball to another pupil and asks: What's your name? This is
repeated until all have participated.
16. Go to Sleep
• Place a series of word and/or picture cards on the board. Tell pupils to put their heads
down on their desks. Say: Good Night or Go to Sleep or Heads Down.
• Remove one of the cards from the board and say: Good Morning or Wake Up or
Heads Up.
• Ask: What's missing? And call on a pupil to say what's missing.
• Repeat for all words/pictures.
17. Tic Tac Toe
• Draw a tic tac toe grid on the board (3 x 3, nine square grid).
• In each box write a number from one to nine.
• Divide the class into two groups.
• Turn to the first group, showing them a word or picture card and ask: What's this?
• Choose one pupil from the group to answer. If the correct answer is provided, within a
full sentence (e.g. This is a monkey.) the group chooses a number on the board which
is then marked with an X.
• Turn to the second group, repeating the process and marking the number on the board
