APPENDIX III – Games
1. Number/Picture Game
•
Show the flashcards and write the numbers 1-10 below each picture.
•
Say a word that is on one of the flashcards. Have pupils say the number of the picture while
holding up the correct number of fingers (1-10).
•
Alternate by you saying a number and have the pupils respond with the corresponding word.
•
After a few turns, shuffle the words on the board so that the numbers change.
2. I Spy
•
Make binoculars with your hands and say: I spy with my little eye something that begins with
the letter (J) and the sound (/j/).
•
Have pupils identify the correct word. Play a few rounds.

Choose a pupil to be the spy and say: I spy with my little eye…
3. Point to…
•
Hide the images on the flashcards – show only the English word.
•
Present a word card. Say: Point to something… (do not say the word aloud)
•
Have pupils point to something in the classroom, without saying the word aloud. Praise the
pupils who point to the correct item and correct those who are not.

Elicit the word from the pupils and reveal the flashcard image.
•
Repeat for each one.
4. Just a Peek

Show a covered flashcard with only one corner visible.

Ask: What is this?

Once revealed, ask again: What is this? (Elicit: This is…)

Repeat with all the words.
