Games for English Camp
 
Hi everybody,
My school will conduct an English camp next month and I am the person in charge to provide some games. Do you have any ideas to help me? The participants are 8th graders.
Thanks a bunch! Smile Have a wonderful day.

Hi Lisavict,

One fun activity is a scavenger hunt / treasure hunt:

You can make the list as difficult or as easy as needed according to the level of your kids.  The list can include items for indoors or outdoors.
I usually divide the pupils into groups, give them a list of items they have to find & a basket to put the items into. I set a time limit and at the end of the time limit, the group with the most things on the list wins.  (I usually have a prize = "treasure" for all the kids like a lollipop or sweets)

Many ideas for scavenger hunt lists can be found on the net.

Another idea would be to create a magazine including all the items you would find in a normal mag like horoscope, recipe, Help page, sports section, celebrities, interviews (of the kids themselves), fashion etc

How about having a fashion show with a catwalk etc getting the kids to be the models etc. Don �t forget the background music and commentary... "Here comes Irene wearing a short red mini skirt and...etc"

Put on a play.  Lots of ideas and scripts can be found on the net.  If some pupils really don �t want to act, they can prepare the scenery, props & costumes.
The pupils could write their own play!
