Bryan – Are there links to explanations for the last few games?
Unfortunately not yet. It’s one of the many things I need to do to “finish” the site. If there is a certain game you are interested in knowing about, let me know. Thanks!
Timed charades and pictionary and running dialogue.
Bryan- me puedas enviar las instrucciones para jugar ” running dialogues” ? Muchas gracias! Noelia
Hola Noelia. No tengo las instrucciones escritas, pero no es difícil explicar. Los estudiantes trabajan en parejas. Hay un cuento u otro texto pegado a una pared en el pasillo. A un estudiante le toca correr al pasillo, leer el texto, memorizarlo, regresar a la clase y repetirlo a su compañero quien tiene que copiarlo en una hoja de papel. El primer grupo que tenga todo copiado gana.
Hi Bryan,
I would love to learn more about the games “¿Quién tiene mi…?” and “Categorías” If you have time to respond that would be great. I am going to try vocabulary tennis tomorrow!
Thanks for the ideas!
Beth
For Categorías, I use this sheet: Categorías. I give students a letter and 2 minutes, and they come up with words that begin with the letter. Extra points for original words.
For ¿Quién tiene mi . . . ?, One student gives me an object (phone, keys, pencil) and leaves the room for a minute. I give the object to another student who hides it. The first student returns and has to guess who has it by asking yes/no questions. Is it a boy? Is he wearing a red shirt? Does he have long hair?
