Guess the Letter on Your Back
 


Level: Easy

This game is used to practice the alphabet. Divide students into groups and ask them to stand in line and give the students in the front of the line a piece of chalk to write on the blackboard. Then write with your finger a letter on the back of the students at the end of the line. They must do the same with the student in front of him/her and so on. The students with the chalk try to guess the letter and write any word that begins with that letter on the board.Thumbs Up my student love this game.

very good idea, I can adapt the idea of the game and use it for example with in my next unit (shapes) students can ask questions about the shape that they have at their backs..
 
 
Thanks for sharing my dear... it is very useful and interesting and let students be motivated and active :)

Nice idea, thanks a lot.
 
It can be adapted according to the level and the topic, making the final task more difficult and challenging ( for ex the student with the chalk could write as many words/ sentences as possible, in a given tense or topic...)
