Help Needed. Games with Balls and Ballons
 
HELLO EVERYBODY. i�M ENJOYING VERY MUCH THIS SITE AND IT IS BEING VERY USEFUL IN PREPARING MY CLASSES.
 
i WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR SOME HELP OR SUGGESTIONS:
 
I�M INTERESTED IN GAME WITH BALLS OR BALLOONS TO BE APPLIED IN CLASS TO LEARN VOCABULARY OR ADJECTIVES.
 
I�LL SHARE ON OF MY GAMES: YOU WRITE AN INTERROGATIVE PRONOUN IN 5 OR 6 BALLONS AND YOU MAKE TEAMS OF 3 STUDENTS. THE HAVE TO KEEPO THE BALLONS IN THE AIR BUT EACH TIME THEY HIT A BALLON THEY MUS SAY THE INTERROGATIVE PRONOUN WRITTEN ON THE BALLON. THEY CAN ONLY HIT ONE BALLOON AT A TIME. I START WITH THREE BALLON AND THEN ADD ONE AT A TIME.  THE TEAM THAT WINS IS WHO MANAGES TO KEEP THE BALLOONS LONGER IN THE AIR WITHOUT ANY OT THEM TOUCHING THE FLOOR.
 
 
I�M ALSO INTERESTED IN THE FOLLOWING GAME: A GRID OF NUMBERS. THE TEACHER GIVES DIRRECTIONS. EG. DRAW A SMALL CIRCLE IN NUMBER 23. DRAW A STRAIT LINE FROM 23 UNTIL IN BETWEEN 12 AND 13. DRAW CURVED LINE UNTIL 6..ETC. THE STUDENTS SHOULD END UP WITH A PICTURE. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND A GAME LIKE THIS.?
 
THANK YOU EVERYBODY AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Hi Tony!
For what regards practice exercises on numbers, I usually play with my students in the following way:
you write a number on the blackboard...for example 45...then you ask a student to tell you a numeber starting with numer 5...for example 58...the next student says a number starting with 8...and so on...
 
My students like this game a lot and now I�m sure they now how to count in english!
 
Might seem a stupid game, though it helps!
 
Ciao

Thanks zoretta for your suggestion.
 
Sorry for the delay in answering. But I�ve only been around a couple of weeks and I�m still in the process of finding out how many things works.
 
Have a nice day.
