This was originally taught to Korean Middle School EFL students for a fun art and craft/cooking camp however it is written entirely in English. The aim of this summer camp is for the students to have fun and to learn about different countries and cultures around the world. Each day will focus on a different country and we will learn some facts, look at famous places, food and do an art and craft activity associated with the country. At the start of each day students will guess the country. When I reveal the flag they must copy it onto their ‘passport’ sheet. If students behave well or win a task they receive a sticker on their passport. The student with the most stickers at the end of the camp will win a prize. Day 1: Introduce the summer camp and different monuments and buildings around the world. Today focuses on lots of games and team building activities so that everyone gets to know each other.  Activity 1: Icebreaker Students are given a ‘passport worksheet where they write their name, age, favorite food, favorite place in Korea and three places they would like to visit in the future. They should complete this quite quickly 5-10 minutes. When everyone has finished I pass the ball and when they catch it the student must say something about themselves and introduce themselves to the rest of the class.  Team game (1): Guess where it is from Students look at the famous buildings/monuments from around the world. In teams they must guess which country they think it is from. The team with the most correct will win travel stickers in their passport.  Team game (2): Build a tower In teams students have 30minutes to build a monument/tower using only dried spaghetti, peppero sticks and marshmallows. They have to work together as a team and at the end they can win points based on how tall, how wide and how unique their building is. The winning team gains stickers for their passport.  Lunch Students are given cooked sausage, cucumbers, crackers and cube cheese. Individually on their plate they have to cut slices and try to build the tallest tower. The person with the tallest ‘tower’ wins a sticker for their passport. They can then eat these and the snacks from earlier for lunch.  Team game (3): Jenga race In teams students take it in turns to race forwards and take a block out of the jenga tower. They must then run back to their team and try to build another structure. The team with the tallest structure at the end (whose original building hasn’t fallen over!) are the winners and gain stickers for their passports.  Art and Crafts Using clay, students must make a small keyring or magnet in the shape of a famous building or monument from the lesson. Seoul Tower, Eiffel Tower, Pyramid, Big Ben etc.

Introduce the grammar and phrases that use ‘have’ and ‘has’. Students practice using the phrases through a guessing game. They look at the close up of the object and must race to say the target phrase " Have you got a pen?", “Have you eaten a kiwi fruit?” etc. Show example phrases (gap fill activity) and students need to apply their knowledge and say whether it should be ‘have’ or ‘has’. Card game- Players ask each other set questions on their question sheets. For example “Have you been to Scotland?” and they choose someone to address the question to. If the player has the matching card they must answer “Yes I have” and the first player can tick it off their sheet. If they don’t have the card they respond “No I haven’t.” and the player’s turn is over. Full instructions for the card game are included in the ppt- the task requires some cutting preparation but with a guillotine it will not take too long at all. There are 96 colourful cards in total and I found that groups of 4-6 players worked best. I have included the lesson powerpoint, a PDF printable version of the game cards and also the powerpoint with the card templates so that you can ammend and change the playing cards to suit your needs.

A game that can be used as a starter or plenary for a travel topic. Objects appear in suitcases and students have to guess the name of the place. There are 10 different places: France England Australia Italy South Africa USA South Korea Egypt China Russia If they are the first team/pair to guess correctly they get a photo card to add to their suitcase gameboard (attached in a word file) I used this with my TEFL students and they loved it!
