A fantastic 40-question money game in which students compete to correct errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar. Teams choose a question and answer it, and are either rewarded with coins or they get the opportunity to take coins from other teams, switch coins with other teams, or they lose their coins completely. The game will easily last at least one class period.
There are five types of question in this version of the game;
1)Correct the tense error,
2)Replace the incorrect homophone,
3)Correct the punctuation,
4)Insert the parenthesis ,
5)Insert the correct conjunction
This is a fully editable game PPT which will drive your students wild, so once you’ve been through all the questions, just replace the questions with 40 more of your own and you can use this game again and again.
This is a spelling and vocabulary review game generator. it works with any words, so use it to review your weekly spelling lists in game form.
A very straight forward tool. Simply type 20 words which you want students to review into a list, choose whether you want a snakes 'n ladders format or a more generic board game and print onto A4 or A3 paper. Words are placed randomly over the board. If you want to re-order the words, press F9 for a refresh and the games will regenerate.
The games work as follows. Students roll a die, move a counter and spell or define the word they land on (variations would be simple, too - give a synonym/antonym etc).
Playing small review games often is a much more effective system to get students to remember vocabulary than simply giving them a list of words. The game itself will work in any language. Try English, French, German, even Chinese. The kids will love it, too!
This is the third in my series of English competitions for English speakers. Public speaking/ English competition to be used in school-wide events or within the class for confidence building.
These competition PPTs are elegant looking PPTs guiding the organisers and students through a three round competition. First, ten competitors describe a picture based on the number they choose.
8 competitors go to round two, where they take part in a pair role play based around a real life situation.
3 competitors go to the final round, in which they are given a question to talk about.
The format allows students to use a range of speaking skills, pushing them towards fluency and accuracy through practice.
A stylish template for a multiple choice question game with ten questions. Just add multiple choice questions and put the answers into the correct places.
A ready to go speaking competition for English language learners. Describe one of ten pictures, take part in a role play and give a short speech. Divided into 3 rounds. Use this as a whole school competition (10 competitors) or simply as a class activity.
In the first round, up to ten competitors will describe a picture. Judges will choose up to eight competitors to continue to round 2.
In round two, competitors will participate in a role play with a partner, based on a given scenario. Judges will choose up to 3 competitors for the final round.
In the final round, each competitor will give a talk on the chosen topic. Judges will choose a winner.
This class is designed to allow students to practice manipulating decimal numbers with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Place accessories around the room for the students to choose for the scariest witch in the world.
They calculate how much it will cost (addition) and do a quick estimation to see if they are probably right. Then, they move onto the subsequent steps which involve recalculating due to a lack of money (subtraction), getting a 15% discount, followed by 15% tax (multiplying by decimals), and sharing the bill with some friends (division).
Finally, they draw their witch using only the items they bought and try to explain why theirs is the scariest of them all.
