Sumo Board Game

For this game, the teacher demonstrates by first standing the two wrestlers in the ring and introducing them by the names s/he has given them. S/he then taps on the edges of the ring to make the wrestlers move. The wrestler who ‘pushes’ his opponent out of the ring, or 'knocks down&' his opponent is the winner. Students in groups then make their own ring and wrestlers and give them names. They can cut out the wrestlers given, or draw their own. Group tournaments can be held with students taking turns to play or be referee until a grand champion emerges.
