Easy Oral Games for Beginners
 
I still continue trying to collect as many games for my beginners students as I can. So, do you have any more ideas, please? Can you help me?
I�m looking for easy oral games in play in class without the help of any written resource if possible.
Thanks in advance.

Another game I used to play with my students was called Time Bomb. All you need is a timer or a watch and a ball or something soft that you can throw or pass around. Think of a category, for example animals, and then start timing and passing the ball. Each child has to think of an animal and then pass the ball to the next person, they can �t pass it until they �ve said something (you can help them out if necessary). Set a time of 1 minute or so and the last person holding the ball when the time stops is out. Pick new categories and play a few more times until you only have one person left in the game, or maybe you can have multiple winners if you don �t want to play for too long. 

Other categories I used were foods, places, sports, jobs, items of clothing, colors, etc.

Hi Mjpa,

I have a load of simple games I collected a while ago when I was teaching illiterate students - lots of simple games with no written material at all! So many, in fact, that I haven �t tried them all...

email me ([email protected]) and I �ll send you the file.

All the best,

Charles.
