board.
Invite the pupil to come back into the room.
Have the class ask in unison: What (Who) is missing?
Pupil responds in a full sentence: ______ is missing.
Repeat, having the pupil who left the room first, choose another pupil to leave the
room.
19. Simon Says
• The teacher or one pupil plays the role of "Simon", commanding pupils to do, or not
do something. (E.g. Simon says: touch your nose; Simon says: close your eyes;
Simon says: don't sit down. If 'Simon' doesn't say "Simon says," pupils who
follow the command are out.)
• Pupils who do not follow the command are out and can sit at the side of the classroom
or become judges.
• The game is over when only one pupil remains.
20. What's in the Bag?
• Place a series of word or picture cards in a bag or pillow case.
• Have pupils pull cards out randomly, and say, using a full sentence, what it is: This
is (magic stardust) or I have (magic stardust).
• Continue until all pupils have had a turn to select a card and say what it is.
21. BINGO
• Have pupils prepare a 3 x 3, nine square grid.
• Write between 12 and 15 vocabulary words on the board, or place the word cards on

the board.
Have pupils copy any nine words from the board, onto their BINGO grids.
Take the 12 to 15 picture cards that match the words from the board and mix them
up.
Randomly select one picture card at a time and show it to the class, saying what it
is.
Have pupils circle the word on their card that matches the picture.
A pupil wins when he/she succeeds in circling three words in a row (horizontally,
vertically or diagonally).
A pupil who has won says "BINGO", and reads out the circled words while the teacher
checks to see that these are correct.
